And yeah understandable on the artist and all. Either going full or half gotta think about it for a while personally don't really know what I want yet figured I'd give him kind of an idea and go from there

$50/hr is something you need to avoid at all costs. The standard going rate is $160/hr and goes up to like $220/hr. Some artists at the end of the session will just say give me *enter amount here* and it could end up being a discount but will not drop to $50/hr. Might drop like by $20-$30/hr. So with that said, you can do the math. At $50 that's 1/3 the cost.
Regardless, cost is one thing you shouldn't even think about. Don't settle for an artist just because it's cheap. A tattoo is forever and more often than not you do pay for what you get. Do not rush any decision you make. Be open to checking out a few artists and don't just decide on one just because somebody said they are good.
