It's not rude to ask, it is rude to try to negotiate though. If you send an email, you'll probably be talking to an assistant anyway, not the artist. They probably have a form email they send for questions about cost.
$200 CAD would be insanely reasonable for Horiryu IMO |
In Horiryu's case you're actually talking to Simone a.k.a Hori Momiji a.k.a his apprentice the small Chinese girl that works there.
I just got a full sleeve done by him and completed about 6 months ago and it was by the hour. It was 27 hours in total split into 5 sessions with each sessions going 5-6 hrs ish except for the first session which was just outline, it was shorter. Each session was either $1000 or $1200 he would not charge me for 30 mins each time so for example 5.5hrs or 6.5hrs he would just charge 5 and 6hrs.
