[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3261648, member: 10465"] Didn't realize tats had gotten so expensive. I got this one awhile back in Subic Bay, Philippines for $10. Of course, it's just a simple "USMC" and was done by this really weird fast talking tattoo chick back in like 1989 I think. Yours is much more detailed and a lot went into it. I think mine took like 5 minutes. We'd been in the field for quite some time; came into town on liberty and spent like 3 days drinking San Miguel Beer, getting tattooed, socializing with the fair maidens, riding the hell out of this mechanical bull... and I bought a damn monkey on a string from this kid on the street. I paid $10 for the monkey too but he'd been trained to unhook the safety pin and I saw him back on that same kids' shoulder later and then even later still, he was clipped on some other drunk Marine. For awhile, anyway. Then that monk would unhook and scamper back to the kid who would then re-sell the stinking thing over and over again. I bet that kid and that monkey raked in a couple hundred bucks that night off the dang Marines and sailors stumbling around town. I'm glad the dang thing beat feet on me, he was pickin' at my new tattoo anyway and I didn't wanna get some weird monkey fever or anything. I'm gonna say that yours looks better...a lot better. Once it heals, the colors should set and it will look really good. v If you like it, I don't think you overpaid at all actually.
