Imo, you're doing this kind of backwards. You pick the artist first and then go with their price. It sounds to me like you're comparing two people and trying to decide based more on cost than who you prefer as an artist. You need to pick who you think would give you the look you want better. You're concerned about $100 difference, which is small change for a piece of art on your body forever.
I'm also not sure what tattoo you're getting. You posted a picture of a bear on a hand, then a rose, then a wave. Which thing were you hoping to get? Have you not decided yet? Figuring out what you want should be the very first thing you do.
I prefer Aaron's style a lot more, but it's up to you. If you want a more traditional style whatever it is you're getting, I think he would kill it.I asked for those photos because it is what I asked for future reference. I'm going with the wave first. I wanted to make sure he wasn't overcharging because I'm really new to this and I have no idea what I'm doing. Of course I'm doing research and I was torn between the two and talked to both to see what they could do. Their art is pretty similar IMO but Aaron's lines and coloring seems to be better?

So I'm interested in getting my first tattoo, and I went to two shops and talked to the artists I liked. I showed them the same pictures, and asked for an estimate for what I wanted. Do these tattoo artists look cheap? It seems like Dan takes more photos after the tattoos heal, and then Aaron takes them as soon as they are finished. I see many people say not to go cheap. I asked for the small size (around 4x4) on my shoulder.

Dan Abner told me a tattoo like this: http://prntscr.com/bkjojy would cost around $180

Dan said around $100-$120 with color for the ocean (not including tip for the ocean piece) and the same price for a rose.
Aaron said $220-$280 (no tip either) for a rose or ocean circle piece.

Yes, I wasn't very sure which one I wanted first but I've decided now. Thank you so much for the advice it really helps. I want it close to how it is in the picture except colored in blue.
