Tattoo PRICING Guide

Booking Deposit
$200​
Applied to final cost
Session Length
4-6 Hrs​
One client per day
Custom Artwork
100%​
Tailor-made for you
Sessions can typically last anywhere between 4-6 hours and hourly pricing is calculated at the end of each day = time spent tattooing x $200 hourly rate.

Booking fees are factored into the total cost of a tattoo and come off the cost of the tattoo at the final session. For more information on how booking fees work, please see our Policies page.

Factors that determine how long a tattoo takes include:
  • size
  • complexity
  • placement

Factors that tend to increase tattoo time:
  • color or black-fill
  • fine-line and delicate detail
  • delicate skin (scars, stretch marks, etc.)

Factors that are difficult to account for that may increase time estimate:
  • changes to initial design or placement
  • pain tolerance and ability to sit still
