How much does a good tattoo really cost?

I am going to get a small/medium sized tattoo on my lower back. I’m new to tattoos so I don’t really know how much a good tattoo should cost. So how much?

I know that different places will charge different amounts and details, color, size also play a part, but I’m asking overall. I don’t want to be shocked by a price or wondering if my tattoo artist isn’t as pro as I thought because it’s too cheap.

Thanks for any help.

Does good tattoo ink really make a difference?

Is there really a difference between tattoo ink’s in reference to I guess the cheap stuff or not as popular brands?. Some tattoo ink’s have the money to advertise, but are they really better if so what brand of tattoo ink would you recommend that is the good stuff. Thanks in advance.
For those that want to talk smack FU. Go somewhere else and get your rocks off.
