One of the questions we get asked most frequently, and probably the hardest one to answer is, "How much does a tattoo cost?" Because of the various factors that influence the cost of a tattoo, it can be very difficult to even give a price-range unless one of our tattoo artists can see the tattoo/design you are interested in.
The cost of a tattoo can vary, depending upon a number of factors, including:
- The size of the tattoo
- The amount of detail in the tattoo
- The part of the body where the tattoo will be placed
All of these elements will influence how long the tattoo is going to take, and therefore influence the price. So please, don't expect us to be able to tell you how much your tattoo will cost over the phone or even how much it will cost based soley on one of the above factors. It takes all of the factors to figure out the cost.
We do have a shop minimum of $50, but beyond that, you will need to bring your design/ideas/pictures in so one of the artists can give you a quote.
If you are looking for a custom design, one of our artists might be able to give you a rough price-range after talking to you about your design. Usually, however, theywill need to have completed at least a sketch of the design before they can give you any pricing information.
Most often, custom and large tattoos are priced based upon an hourly rate which can be different for each artist.
