About £250 for a single sitting per sleeve piece. Every tat is different so sittings could be 10+
A small Livestrong piece would be in the region of £40 - £80 a sitting
The person in picture 8 has got away lightly in my opinion, it looks like the tattooist was dyslexic and has written "Love String" by mistake.
And I'm not sure why picture 21 is in there, that's a young Charlie Drake in a miners hat and for the record he never rode the Tour De France although he was a martyr to his nose candy habit!!!

I can never understand why some one pays so much for such poor quality art. Neither the substrate or the process is capable of a level of quality that people would put on their walls so why do they pay for it on their bodies?

No 1 the lettering is badly spaced, at varying angles and inconsistent, the graduations are blocky and inconsistent.
No2 isn't straight.
No3 has letters which are poorly defined
No 5 the centres of the O R And G don't match.
No7 The base line of the letters varies from letter to letter...
Do I have to go on through the full list?
Would you buy art of this quality/cost to put on your wall at home or would you want it to be better quality /cheaper?

Personally I don't consider a Livestrong to be an 'Armstrong' tattoo myself.
While no-one can dispute that Livestrong and Armstrong will be forever intrinsically linked, how many of these people have had their tattoos done to symbolise their fights against cancer as opposed to reasons of idol worship of the disgraced man himself.
I don't doubt some will have them done for the latter, but knowing the personal reasons for most peoples tattoos I suspect that the majority will have had them done for the former. Maybe not even a cancer fight, maybe some other personal fight. I personally know one guy who this is true for myself, (and no it;'s not me).
So while it may be fun to laugh at poorly executed tattoos, and also the presumed reasons behind them, perhaps think about why that person may have had it done in the first place.
