Honestly – Every time someone comes up to us to brag about the cheap Tattoo they got – well, it always LOOKS like a CHEAP TATTOO. A really GREAT Tattoo comes from a Great Tattoo Artist – a professional. And professionals charge for their work. Search first for a Tattoo Artist whose work you like. If you can’t afford him or her now – save up for it. A Tattoo is going to be with you for a lifetime – and as with many other things in life, you get what you pay for ...‘nuf said?

Q: HOW OLD DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO BE TATTOOED?

Q: HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
For smaller pieces that can be completed in under a few hours, the Tattoo Artist will give you a ‘quote’ for finishing the entire piece. Obviously to accurately price a Tattoo, it is necessary for the Tattoo Artist to see the design you want, whether or not it needs to be modified and to discuss the style, size, color and placement on your body. Some designs are simple and straightforward -- and obviously others can be more complex and time consuming. It all depends.
Larger projects – especially those that will require more than one sitting, are usually priced at an hourly rate. The hourly rate for individual artists is set by each Tattoo Artist and varies from a minimum of $150 to up to $170 per hour. The cost of a project is related to the time it takes to complete and includes four main factors: color vs. black & gray vs. heavy black Tattooing; body type/area; whether the piece is new or covers a previous Tattoo/re-works a Tattoo/is a cover-up; and size of the project.
