Our shop minimum is $150 for very small, simple designs. Single-session tattoos are priced based on size, detail, color complexity, and technical difficulty. For large projects, we charge $200 per hour. Full-day sessions start at $800.
Important: Accurate pricing can only be provided during an in-person consultation after discussing your specific project with an artist. We cannot provide estimates over phone or email.
Same-day appointments are available for small, simple tattoos requiring no drawing or consultation time. Examples include small text, basic symbols, or simple designs you bring printed and ready to go with exact placement decided.
