How I price my tattoos:

Due to the nature of the way I work, and the state of the American economy, I am currently pricing my tattoos “per project” instead of “per hour”. This means that when I give an estimate $$ on your tattoo, the price will not change, even if the tattoo takes me more or less time. So you, the client, knows exactly the amount you will be responsible for on the day of the tattoo. (Obviously tipping is still up to you, and I will not hate you if you do not tip.)

Minimums? Maximums?

My minimum for one day of tattooing is $100. My max is $700. I can do -a lot- in one day. (see examples below)

Will you work with a budget?

On my booking form you will notice a budget section. I ask for this information so that, just in case the tattoo you want is grossly over your budget, I can come up with strategies with you to make the tattoo fit within your budget.

What if the tattoo takes more sittings, or more days of working time, than originally anticipated?

If it’s my fault, I simply split the estimated price into multiple sessions. (I.E, if I estimate $600 for a 1 sitting tattoo, and I can’t manage it. It will become a 2-sitting tattoo, and you will pay $300 for each of the two visits).

If the reason we don’t finish is because of something on your end, like an emergency or something, I typically try to make sure we still split it up. I’m actually quite understanding, and want to make sure your life isn’t stressful. However, if I deem that the reason it took more sittings is because of something blatantly disrespectful on your end, I will discuss a small upcharge with you. (This has actually never happened, and you’d be my first)
