What about discussing price? How does that work? The reason I ask about pricing is because I want a general idea of what I'm going to pay if I'm getting inked by a big name artist.

Usually its best to get work done at their shop I think. Hopefully someone else has some more/better answers than me on this dead ass forum. You have ignored this user.

They want to do something that puts them in the competition for awards. They usually work at the same rates as they do in their shops. You have ignored this user.

Yep, that's always the way it has seemed to me. I get work done at the Detroit convention every year, which is a big expo, and that's how it usually goes.
