Most tattoo artists worth their salt charge by the piece to not rip themselves off. Something that would take an inexperienced tattooer 2 hours to do will only take an experienced tattooer 1.5 hours, for instance. Makes sense to charge either a higher hourly rate or charge by the piece. If he's a travelling artist expect to pay a bit more also.
