First tattoo! Advice pls! How much did you pay for your tattoo? (If you don’t mind)

Hey guys! I’ve been looking for tattoo artists in Los Ángeles for a while and I found an Artist I really love. I plan on getting something similar to the one in the picture. It’s not the exact same but very similar. That size (my entire forearm) and in black and white. She told me that it shouldn’t take longer than 6 hours and it will be $1,300. Her work is amazing so I don’t mind paying that but what do you guys think about the price? How much was your tattoo and how big is it ? 🤗 Also, how much should I tip a tattoo artist? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!!
