depends
A starter tattoo machine would cost between one hundred dollars and nine hundred dollars. The costs varies depending on what accessories and how much ink you purchase.
The cost of getting rid of your tattoo is all over the place there are no exact figures BUT there is one big factor:you will spend a lot or little if you dont do your homework
if you go to the ghetto you can get one for $5... it comes free with HIV
It can cost anything from really cheap say £20 up to several hundred pounds for a really articulate one
relentless
It all depends on where you live and where you go... I have one that I spent 35 on and another that cost me 75.
Ask your local health department. Every county in Alabama has one. The regulate all body art procedures and they will walk you through obtaining your license (for the shop) and your permit (for the artists).
They cost hundreds of dollars. You can go online and find plenty of tattoo machines that cost $25, but you'll get about two pieces out of one of them, and you won't like using them. Also remember: having just a tattoo machine is useless. You also need needle tubes, needle bars (they have the needles at one end and the loop to connect the bar to the armature of the machine on the other), a power supply, sanitation supplies, inks, to know how to tattoo...
I have one and it's like one thousand dollars, i wasted my money on it ( PEOPLE! IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT THIS AND YOU WANT TO GET A TATTOO, DON'T! BECAUSE IT'S A WASTE! ) I suggest you don't get one.
No one could no for sure because there are too many factors that you have to account for when getting a tattoo. But in my experience you would probably be looking at a couple thousand dollars.
