How much would a tattoo like this cost and how long would it take to complete?

Pi a la mode: How much would a tattoo like this cost and how long would it take to complete?
A friend of mine is pretty adamant on getting a tattoo of a snake wrapping around her body from her foot to her lower back. After the snake ends, a phoenix coming out of the snake covers the rest of her back. This is a pretty big tattoo. How much would such a tattoo cost and how long would it take? How painful would you say it would be?

It all depends on where you go and who does your tattoo.

Some people might charge by the hour, and some people might charge by the size of the tattoo.

Sounds pretty big so I’m assuming it would cost and hurt ALOT!!
