How much do tattoos cost?
Pricing varies for each tattoo and depends on several factors, including the designs complexity, estimated time to complete, size and placement.
For small to medium. tattoos, the final cost isn’t determined until the design is finalised and the stencil is prepared. Because of this, we can only provide estimates at the time of booking, not fixed quotes unless the artist is certain on all the above factors
For larger tattoo, we charge an hourly rate. The total cost will depend on the design, actual size, and how well you sit during the session.
We can provide an estimate cost for large tattoos by giving an approximate number of hours or sessions required.
We will endeavour to work with you if you have a budget - like booking multiple sessions or give you some different ideas to fit your budget.

What are the hourly rates?
Each tattoo artist will have different hourly rates. please contact us if you would like to know the hourly rate for a specific artist.
-
When can I see the design?
Designs will generally not be provided to you before the day of the appointment. However, for more complicated designs, your tattoo artist may choose to send them ahead of the appointment.
We always allocate time at the beginning of the session to have a final consultation. Here you and your tattoo artist will review the design together, as well as the sizing and rough placement. We find communication is better for all parties this way, as it avoids too many miscommunications and delays in responses.
