Transparency in pricing

There’s nothing worse than being unsure about the cost of your tattoo.

I specialize in bold color work, American traditional, mid-century modern, and anime and pop culture tattoos and I price every piece fairly regardless of style. Many factors influence the final price, including size, style, placement, and detail, but I want you to feel informed and confident from the start.

I offer competitive pricing without compromising on quality, safety, or design.

This page explains my pricing structure clearly, so there are no surprises when you book your session.

How Pricing works

Every tattoo is unique, and several factors affect the final price such as size, placement, complexity. Color work takes longer than black and grey. Intricate details and complex designs take more time than simple ones. Certain placements are more challenging and require longer sessions. My minimum charge is $100 for even the smallest pieces. It covers:

A clean procedure area prepared with hospital-grade disinfectants

Sterile needle cartridges, single-use grips, ink caps, and all body art disposables

Design consultation, appointment reservation, and drawing time

Professional aftercare products and guidance

Even the simplest designs deserve proper time, attention, and safety standards. I'll provide a price estimate before we start so you know exactly what to expect.

Size & Time Estimates

Use these generalized tattoo time estimates to help you plan. Keep in mind that color, detail, and placement can all affect how long your tattoo actually takes and your tattoo may take more or less time than these estimates..

Small (S): Up to 2" — up to 1 hour of tattoo time.

Medium (M): 2–4" (up to palm-sized, or smaller with color or detail) — up to 2 hours of tattoo time.

Large (L): 4-7"+ (hand-sized or larger, or with color or detail) — up to 6 hours of tattoo time.

Your total appointment will be longer than your tattoo time, since it includes setup, stenciling, breaks, and wrap-up. I'll give you a price range estimate before we start, however factors like extra breaks or involuntary muscle contractions can affect the final time and price.

Pricing Guide

Here's a general pricing guide to help you plan:

Small: $100–$125

Medium: $200

Half Day: (up to 4hr tattoo time): $300

Full Day: (up to 6hr tattoo time): $450

I cap my tattoo time at 6 hours per day to make sure you're always getting my best work. If your tattoo requires more than 6 hours of tattoo time, we'll break it into multiple sessions so the quality never suffers.

I love doing large scale, rework, and cover-up tattoos — let's talk through your idea during a consultation!
