Article: While your statement of purpose is written for an audience of scholars, and can make use of specialized vocabulary, it should sound nice as well. Reading your essay out loud is a good way to make sure it flows well, and doesn't have any awkward phrases, overly long sentences, or other issues. Mark any problem spots as you read your statement of purpose outloud, then revise them. Professors in your field will know what makes a compelling and convincing statement of purpose. Ask at least two who know you well (such as your thesis advisor, or any who write you letters of recommendation) to read over the statement once you've drafted it. If they have any suggestions to improve your statement, revise it and ask them to read it again. After you've drafted and revised your statement of purpose, and some professors have given it their seal of approval, it's ready for a final polishing. Go through your essay with a fine-toothed comb, checking for typos and any other errors. Don't rely on your word processor's spelling and grammar check tools, since they might not catch everything. After your statement of purpose is finished, re-read the directions on your application. Make sure you've answered any specific questions on the prompt, and that you've formatted everything properly. Once everything looks good, it's ready to go! If you have multiple applications, make sure that you've matched the right statement of purpose with the right application. You don't want to send in a statement of purpose that mentions the wrong school!

Article: If you are getting a small tattoo such as a single word in a basic font or a small symbol with no shading, you may be subject to a shop minimum. Your artist or the shop manager should be able to tell you the minimum. Getting your tattoo done at a popular shop could increase the price you pay for your piece. If your shop has a world-famous artist working at it, expect to pay more. Likewise, if your shop is locally popular and consistently booked due to its reputation for high-quality tattoos, you can expect your tattoo to be more expensive. Sites like Yelp are great places to check to get an idea of how much a tattoo could cost. Check online reviews for your shop to see how much people have paid in the past for pieces of similar size and with similar styles and levels of detail.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Inquire about the shop minimum if you are getting a small piece. Consider the popularity of the shop. Check online reviews for the shop.
