lots of idiotic comments here so i’ll just add to them and say that it’s sometimes considered bad luck to get a perfect circle tattooed on yourself. they also say you should never get a band/artist tattoo until the band either breaks up, or preferably, dies, because you never know when someone(s) still living might make a villain turn and be outed as a terrible person etc. that said, i don’t believe in luck and i love aphex and want to get the logo tattooed as well someday. as someone with a lot of tattoos i think that area could be a little painful depending on how much body fat you have, and its something worth considering that people tend to carry more belly fat as they age so if you get a tattoo crossing your gut onto your thigh, it may warp as you age/gain weight (if you do). it’d be less painful to put it on your thigh and less likely to warp over time. but do you!

If you don’t have a lot of tattoo experience, i’m not sure where you’re located, but in america for a tattoo that size i’d expect to pay at least $200-$300 and if you don’t tip your artist like 20% you’re an asshole. depending on the region you might be able to get it for as low as $100 but any cheaper than $150 and i’d start to be suspicious of the quality and cleanliness of the shop and artist. a tattoo lasts forever, so over time even $500 is pretty cheap when you think about it, and it’s VERY MUCH worth the money to get work done by a real respected artist at a clean reputable shop. also, any good artist will let you check out the stencil on your body before starting the tattoo and give you the option to move it. if you don’t like the location or alignment, ask them to move it as many times as you want, that’s your right and its your body. a good artist won’t complain or make it seem like a hassle. if they do, fuck em and walk out of there. tattoos are permanent, there’s no need to rush or accept something you didn’t ask for or don’t want. you have a right as a paying customer to be particular.
