First tattoo - question on price

Ok, so I'm going to be getting my first tattoo soon, but I had a question about the price, cause it took me by surprised.

The tattoo is gonna take up like 95% of my forearm (see link)

I like the design, but this is gonna cost me $2000. I know a lot of people say don't care about the price cause it's gonna be with you forever, but this seems like a lot...

Opinions?

Edit: the shop is flame wise on Lakeshore.

Edit 2: there's some confusion about me saying my forearm.. I'm just doing the inside

Also, I talked to my artist and he's willing to do his day rate (but I'll be there for the entire day lol) for me for $1500+tax... So I think it's a better deal and I do feel better actually that what he was charging me was the going rate in Toronto for this.
