How tattoo pricing works
Central to our bespoke tattoo pricing framework is the unparalleled expertise of our artists. It is their skill and finesse that guide the valuation of each piece, transcending the conventional metrics of time, size, and session costs.
By size
By size, our tattoo pricing is determined by the physical dimensions of the tattoo. Smaller tattoos cost less, while larger pieces require a greater investment. This method considers the amount of ink and detail work needed, which scales up with size. It's a common approach for tattoos with a predictable size, regardless of intricacy."
By time
Tattoo Pricing by time means that the cost of your tattoo is calculated based on how long it takes to complete. This method is transparent and straightforward, charging an hourly rate that reflects the artist's time spent on designing, inking, and perfecting your tattoo. It's ideal for designs where the time required can be estimated up front.
By session
Tattoo Pricing by session is used for tattoos that require multiple sittings, often for larger or more intricate designs. Each session is priced separately, taking into account the progress made. This is beneficial for extensive art pieces that evolve over time, allowing for detailed work that cannot be completed in a single appointment.

Why Cheap Tattoos Can End Up Costing You More
Which tattoo pricing format is best for you?
By size
Ideal for: Small to medium, less intricate tattoos.
Why: This Tattoo pricing option is perfect if your tattoo is small or medium in size with a straightforward design. It works well for pieces where the size is the primary factor in determining cost, rather than complexity or detail. Choose this for smaller, simpler tattoos where the final dimensions dictate the price.
By time
Ideal for: Varied designs where the artist estimates the completion time.
Why: In this tattoo pricing model, the artist estimates the total time needed to complete your tattoo during the consultation. This becomes the fixed price for your tattoo, regardless of whether it takes more or less time to complete. It's ideal for when you and the artist agree on a design and its time estimate, providing clarity and assurance on the final cost.
By session
Ideal for: Tattoos taking more than 6 hours or requiring multiple sittings.
Why: Suited for large-scale or complex tattoos, the tattoo pricing 'by session' model applies to designs that either take a whole day to ink (over 6 hours) or require multiple sessions. This is cost-effective for larger tattoos, where pricing by size would be more expensive. It's the best choice for extensive, intricate pieces, ensuring you pay a fair price for each dedicated session.
