-most important is that you need to find an artist who understands that it is a privilege to tattoo. no egos...

OUt of pure curiosity, how much did you pay for your tattoos? I am guessing they have a base price, then add money for the hours and complexity? |
the place i go to charges for the size and colors used...they dont charge for the time, but the bigger the tattoo or the more colors used, the longer it will take, so they go hand in hand.
as for the whole "shriveled up when you get old" thing...it really shouldnt be a big deal. people always say to me "enjoy having a tattoo when you are 75 years old and its all gross looking" and my response to them is I wont care how I look at 75...what 75 year old does? thats a generalization, of course, but seriously, I wont be self conscious at 75, and hopefully you wont either.
