Several things determine pricing. We’ve included some sample photos along with estimated pricing to help you visually understand how factors such as size, location, placement, and detail influence the final price of a tattoo. Price is calculated hourly or flat rate per piece.

Hourly cost = ($150/hr base hourly price) x (hours required). Have a large tattoo, half/full sleeve, or back piece that will take several sessions? Hourly will get you the most bang for your buck. Additional fees are added for color, complexity and placement. Want the detail of a realism tattoo? That takes much more time than a line tattoo with shading of the same size. Tattooing joints, necks, hands and feet? Those areas are harder to work with and add time.
