Why not a price list?
Two tattoos of the same size can take very different amounts of work. A small design with fine lettering and shading may take longer than a bold, larger outline; a placement over a curve or a joint changes how the design has to be drawn. A list would either be wrong for your tattoo or so broad that it tells you nothing.
What changes the price
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Size | More skin to cover means more time — and some designs need a minimum size to keep their detail. |
| Placement | Curves, joints and thin skin change how the design is drawn and how long it takes. |
| Detail | Line density, shading and fine lettering take time to do well. |
| Style | Realism, fine line and bold traditional work are built very differently. |
| Colour | Colour or black & grey changes the layers and the time involved. |
| Custom design work | A design drawn from scratch, or adapted to your body, is part of the work. |
| Cover-up | Covering an older tattoo needs planning and often a larger, darker design. |
| Sessions | Large pieces may need more than one session. |
How the personal quotation works
- You send your idea, references, placement and approximate size through the inquiry form.
- The studio reviews it and sends you a personal quotation, with any questions it needs answered.
- If the design, size or placement changes during the consultation, the quotation is updated with you.
- The final price is confirmed before your appointment. Nothing is charged on this website.
Price is one factor
A tattoo is permanent. Hygiene, the artist's experience with your style, the time taken over the design and clear aftercare all matter as much as the number. Our guide to cheap versus professional tattoos explains what to weigh up.
Questions and answers
Can I get a price before I visit?
Yes — a personal one. After reviewing your idea, references, size and placement, the studio sends you a quotation; the final price is confirmed once the design is final.
Is there a price for a small tattoo?
Small tattoos are quoted the same way, because detail and placement can matter more than size. Send the idea and the studio will quote it.
