PRICING (ALL PRICING SUBJECT TO CHANGE)

Pricing for a tattoo really depends on you... do you want people to look at your tattoo and go "oooh, that's nice" ... OR... do you want them to go... "oh my god, who did your fucking tattoo, that's amazing" those responses are two drastically different price ranges, but I can do whichever you prefer. There is almost always a $200 version, a $500 version, and a $2500 version of just about any tattoo... please try to avoid asking "how much is this".... I PREFER that you tell me how much you want to invest into your tattoo, and I will design to fit your budget. Otherwise when we are asked "how much" we ALL have to guess on which version you want, and you ALL show the $2500 version... So please, know there are always options and I always want to give you the best option you can afford, which starts with knowing your financial limitations on your investment in your skin.

AVERAGE TIMEFRAMES

CURRENT STARTING PRICES ( this entire price list is for at conventions, in shop pricing I can usually do better pricing than this, but conventions and traveling have added costs for me.)

STARTING PRICE/MINIMUM

$100

I really don't like the idea of a "Shop Minimum"... there are times when something is so small and quick that I will charge less than $100.... but you shouldn't expect a tattoo worth showing off to be under nowadays. This does NOT mean that everything can start at $100 if its small enough, some tattoos cannot be done that small because of details.  

FULL SLEEVES

$2000+

Sleeve prices depend on the detail and color in them. The most basic black and white sleeves still usually take at least a full days work, the best ones take several. Most full color sleeves take me a minimum of 4 full day sessions. The more time we spend in a tattoo, the better it can become.

PORTRAITS

$500+ (micro portraits start at $250)

Black and grey portraits are usually done in one session, and start at $500. Color portraits tend to take at least 2 half day sessions or one full day, sometimes more depending on size and detail. With color portraits swelling can become a factor in certain areas and customers making 2 sessions a better option than one longer session. Its not about you being tough, you skin doesn't give a shit about your ego.

HALF DAY SESSIONS

$750*

Whenever I am working on large multiple session pieces I prefer to charge by the session and not by the hour. This usually works out to save hundreds of dollars sometimes in the long run. I get quite a bit done in a half a day and advise starting large scale pieces with a half day before attempting a full day. Long sittings can be difficult to sit through.

FULL DAY SITTINGS

$1500*

Not everyone can sit for a whole day... but for those who can, you save the most. This is not a "tap out session" and is only for working on large scale pieces with multiple sessions.

DEPOSITS

$100+

Most "basic" tattoos - $50 deposit * Portraits - $100 deposit * Sleeves or larger - $200 "rolling deposit"

All deposits are non refundable and come off the cost of your tattoo.

"rolling deposits" come off the cost of the FINAL session of the tattoo.

*certain tattoo locations can increase costs
