Price is not only about centimetres
Size matters, but it is not enough. Two tattoos with the same dimensions can have very different prices if one is a simple line and the other includes detailed shading, texture or ornament.
The price includes design time, stencil preparation, sterile setup, the tattoo session and aftercare guidance. With custom work, you pay for the full process, not just minutes with the machine.
The biggest pricing factors
The main factors are size, complexity, style, body placement, colour or shading and whether the design needs to be created from scratch.
Cover-up work is often more expensive than a new tattoo because the artist must work with existing pigment, darkness and shape.
How to get a more accurate estimate
Send a photo of the placement, approximate size, references and whether you want fine line, stronger graphics, shading or colour.
If you are unsure about the style, also send examples of what you dislike. That helps the artist understand the limits of the design instead of guessing.
FAQ
Can I get a price without consultation?
Usually a range, yes. The exact price needs size, placement, references and an assessment of detail.
