Some great pics man. Nice pic of you trying to find you're zen. Thought we wouldn't notice eh. LOL
Tony's rates were almost half that when I booked with him last June but I heard they went too.

I'd never pay that for any artist.

$400 an hour sounds pretty pricey but could be worth it it if he is super fast. I think all tattoos should priced per piece not by the hour. That is how you buy most art.

Gunnar told me he's contemplating moving to piece pricing. We were talking about the pros and cons of hourly versus flat rate.

The Oni's are beautifully done, but the background seems rushed and thrown together. Still a great tattoo though!

I called the shop and asked about Tony's rates as well....I don't want to dish out their business like that on here by posting their prices, but it's certainly not $400/hr...

He's actually one of the top artists when it comes to oriental/Japanese artwork. Check out his stuff at http://instagram.com/tonyhutattoo or chronicinktattoo.com
