&
Pricing
What payments do you take?
Cash, Venmo, Cashapp, and Zelle
Do you have a minimum?
My appointment minimum is $100.
How much will the tattoo cost?
It depends! I charge by the hour at a rate of $100/hour for flash designs and $100/hour plus a $50 - $100 drawing fee for custom work and cover up designs. We'll agree on the price together early on during the booking process; There will be no surprises at the end of the appointment.
Why are tattoos so expensive?
Tattoo pricing is not standardized across the industry. but in general, a tattooer may pay for:
Studio/shop rent
Educational materials
Supplies (almost all of which are single-use)
Insurance fees and high government taxes
Apprenticeship and licensing fees
Accountants, administrative programs, shop assistants, sanitation staff and personal assistance
My pricing reflects how much time I spend drawing, organizing and emailing as well as the amount of time I spend with you at the appointment.
Something to consider is that you are purchasing a piece of art that you will carry with you quite possibly forever! Which for many collectors, factors into how much they are willing to pay.
What's with tipping?
It's not at all expected, but it's appreciated! Clients generally tip 20-30% of the final price.
