How is a price set when you get a tattoo?

Does it have to do with the style, design, size, time taken? Is there a certain scale? Or does it all depend on the tattoo artist and how he feels it should be?

Answer #1

I think they set it on the amount of ink they use on the tattoo

Answer #2

Ahh well that makes sense. :)

Answer #3

I”m going to try and explain this the best that I can… The one and only me is right, it’s related to the amount if ink… and the size. I do believe that they may have a set price they start at… so if you were to go in and just get word an inch long somewhere on your body, not only will it take like 15 minutes (if that), but it’ll not be worth the price. You’d be mainly paying him for setting up his stuff, etc. Since I am thinking of getting a tattoo, I am friends with someone who has 6-7 and is planning her next one. She says if you get something small, get something else as well or make the whole thing bigger so it doesn’t seem like it was overpriced. I do hope it helped, and I am sorry for rambling

Answer #5

Hi there. There are many things that influence the pricing of a tattoo. It will be the size of the tattoo, the amount of ink they use, the colors they use, the time they work on it, the body part that you want your tattoo to be on and also the condition of your skin.

If you have sensitive, thin skin, the tattooing will take extra long and it will cost you extra. If you have thick, leathery hide, then the tattooer can get his work done quickly without the danger of injecting any ink into your under-skin tissue. Mulitcolor will be more expensive than one-color. A complex maze of delicate, fine lines will take longer and be more expensive than a solid-block-of-ink tribal in the same size, even if it uses less ink.

And then, look out for a clean tattoo studio,

  • are there animals in the Studio?
  • do they smoke there?
  • ist the work room seperate from the customer room?
  • does the tattoo artist use gloves?
  • does he change these regularly and does he make sure not to touch anything that isn’t sterilized?
  • is there a sterilisatur with an up-to-date certificate from your local health authority?
  • do they use caps for the colors, and disposable shavers?
  • do they use colors that correspond to current health regulations?
  • do they use sterile, one-in-a-pack needles that he uses only once?

All these things cost money and will influence the price. So do not go to the cheapest tattoo studio you can find. Once you picked a tattooer, ask for all of the above. Any studio with good hygiene will proudly present their health standards before you decide to get a tattoo. If they are grumpy about it and won’t answer, you’re better off if you go to another studio.

A tattoo is something that you wear for the rest of your life. So, ponder about what you really want it to look like. Then have a gifted person draw what you want on paper. Then decide on where you want that tatoo to be. Then ponder about whether it is really exactly what you want, then take your sketch to a tattoo studio and aks what something like that would cost.

And if you think it’s too expensive, do not change your idea, because you’ll regret that later. Just go back home, save some more money and get the tattoo you really want next year.

Answer #8

Where I got my tattoos, you paid by the hour. For 2 feather, medium size, a small A, and a script medium size costed me $210.00 But it all depends. Some places can be more expensive than others or vice versa.

You should call a tattoo shop and ask about their price set.
