Whether you want to get a sleeve or a small tattoo with a name, it is It is essential to know in advance what the costs will be, so that you are not faced with unpleasant surprises. That's why it's time to take control of your budget. There are plenty of details to consider when estimating the cost of a tattoo. Below I have listed the most important points for you.
How much does a tattoo cost
Every morning, I have to wade through a flood of emails sent to me by well-intentioned customers. Questions such asHow much does a tattoo cost for you?Or more often even images with accompanying comments such asHow much does a tattoo cost if I have it done by you? are the order of the day. Nine times out of ten, such emails go unanswered. In the best case, we kindly invite the customer to visit the studio. Simply providing prices often leads to inaccurate quotes and increased confusion.
The questionHow much does a tattoo cost is as variable as the questionWhat does a car cost?< span style="color: #000000;"> Cars come in different makes, models and years, with numerous options that can greatly influence the price for each specific car. Similarly, this also applies to tattoos. The cost of a tattoo can vary greatly depending on factors such as the style, size, placement and the artist. Getting a tattoo is a complex process, especially if you're thinking about larger projects like a custom sleeve tattoo or an elaborate backpiece.
The price of a tattoomust be recalculated for each customer. Because every body is different. The average young woman generally has less skin area to tattoo than a bodybuilding man, because the woman is undeniably slimmer.
A client's skin and stamina can significantly affect the tattoo. A professional artist can tattoo any type of skin, but in some cases he will need more time to achieve a satisfactory result.
Difficult to reach parts require more time and effort. For elbow joints and fingers you have to return to the chair regularly for a touch-up session. This can be quite expensive.
The placement on the skin can also greatly influence the price. So it really does matter whether you place the tattoo stencil on the inside of your arm; or on the outside. You will experience more pain on the inside, which means the artist will have to stop more often by taking rest breaks.

Many people are completely guided by the size of the design. They only discover later that a large tattoo can cost less than a smaller but more complex tattoo. This can be demotivating. So always keep in mind; Whether you have a Maori, a Japanese dragon or a realism portrait with the most beautiful color gradients, if you go for details and refined work, it will also cost you more time and money.
What does a tattoo cost, price agreement or hourly rate?
Most artists work with an hourly rate and some make price agreements. The advantage of price agreements is that you know in advance what you will pay, but be aware that this can turn out badly. If an artist runs out of time, the completion can be done too hastily. On the other hand, if the job is not too bad afterwards, you can pay too much again. That's why I think an hourly rate generally offers the most value for your money.
The reason for different prices has to do with many causes such as reputation, expertise, working methods and, for example, the location of a studio. Think carefully about which of these points you are willing to pay for and pay attention not “only” on the price.
Ask your artist how the entire process works, and check whether things like drawing and touch-up sessions are included in the price. So don't just ask how much a tattoo costs, but take it entire story in your assessment.
It is also important that you know how much you want to spend. My advice; don't push your budget too hard. A tattoo is for life, take your time and divide your project over several tattoo sessions.
Make as few concessions as possible to the design. By putting pressure on the artist, a good idea can be poorly executed. So know in advance what you are getting into. Be well informed and make clear agreements. This makes it easier to work together for both parties.
