Transparency in pricing

There’s nothing worse than being unsure about the cost of your tattoo. While many factors influence the final price—like size, style, placement, and detail—I want you to feel informed and confident from the start. This page explains my pricing structure clearly, so there are no surprises when you book your session.

How Pricing works

Every tattoo is unique. Final pricing depends on size, detail, placement, and color. My minimum charge is $100 —even for the smallest pieces. It covers:

  • Thoroughly disinfected setup

  • Single-use sterile needles and grips

  • Design consultation and time to discuss placement

  • Professional aftercare products and guidance

Even the simplest designs deserve proper time, attention, and safety standards. Custom quotes are provided during your consultation to ensure you know exactly what to expect.

Size & Time Estimates

I price tattoos by size and style, which also determines how much time we’ll need:

  • Small (S): Up to ~4" (palm-sized). ~1–2 hours.

  • Medium (M): 4–6" (hand-sized or detailed). ~2–4 hours.

  • Large (L): 6–10"+ (forearm, calf, or complex). ~4–8 hours or multiple sessions.
