Der Tattoo Thread.
Chrasstor:
My friend got a tattoo when he was 14.
Canada is pretty awesome, minus the grueling cold winters.

New Hampshire's legal age of consent for tattoos is seventeen at most. Many places will not actually tattoo anyone under eighteen, but it is, in fact, legal to tattoo a seventeen year old up there (At least last I checked when I lived up there).
Also, bitchin' tattoo, PQ. How much did that run you? I've been planning to get a half sleeve shot of a panel of Wolverine, Cable and Bishop from the first comic (Likely just black ink as well) I ever bought as a kid and I'm looking to gauge how much that's going to set me back (A lot, I'm figuring).

Well, okay here's the thing: Whoever you go to isn't going to charge the same way my guy does. They shop I go to has pretty cheap prices. He doesn't go by the hour or anything, just kind of the size, the time, the whole amount of work that needs to be done, and sticks a price tag on it --Storm cost $240. My Dark Mark: $120. My Rogue: $260. But this is Small-town Wisconsin, so the pricing and the shops you go to around you will be different. When I was looking at getting my Rogue, a lot of the other shops I went to wanted between 350-400 to do it (!!). But shop by quality, not by price.
goddamn it, I am getting preachy again.
But anyway that sounds like a totally friggin' cool idea. That's gonna look awesome. I want to get a Wolverine on the back of my other leg, but I haven't found the "right one" yet.

Oh, don't worry. I know plenty in terms of how to properly price generally, I'm just doing preliminary ballparking. I do have two so far and put a good six years of research into it before even outright committing to those. I grew up in NH and will likely get everything I plan to do done there. There's so many tattoo shops in NH due to the high biker population that it's easy enough to price-watch while maintaining quality.
Here's a shot of the panel I'm planning on using for the tattoo:
Though I've occasionally flip-flopped between that and the cover of the issue in question (X-Men #15).
In terms of the "right one" regarding Wolverine, I'd recommend something from John Byrne, Andy Kubert (Who did the above image) or Jim Lee. I don't think anyone's ever done as many iconic Wolverine shots as those three. What era are you looking for (Logan, classic blue and gold, brown and gold or something more modern?).
My best recommendation on what I, as someone who's been reading X-Men comics since he was eight, would recommend as the single most definitive Wolverine image would be the following (By John Byrne):
With a slight bit of modification to the image from a solid artist, you could get a nice tearing through the leg vibe and it's really one of the most absolutely iconic images of Wolverine out there.

...jesus goddamn you're lucky you're a sexy man, because that tattoo would make a lesser dude basically unfuckable.
