How Much Do Tattoos Cost?

How much does a tattoo cost? For the same pattern, some stores charge $200 and some charge $2000, why? Today, I will share with you 9 factors that influence tattoo prices.

1. Skills and experience of the tattoo artists: This is the main factor determining the tattoo prices. A more professional tattooist will charge more for his work. They usually charge by the hour, if it is a small tattoo that can be done in one time, the price will be estimated. Some people have been working for many years but their technology is just so so, so they will not be able to charge high prices.
2. Complexity: Designs with a lot of complex details will take more time to complete, so the time that tattoos required will be a big determinant.
3. The color: The more colors, the more tattoo inks are required. More complex matching colors will be taken into consideration when designing a colorful tattoo. The more colors, the more the art of the tattoo artist is tested.
4. Part of the body: Tattoo position is also an important determinant. Some tattooists charge additionally 10% to 25% of the cost when tattooing on a challenging body part. Difficult parts include the neck, elbows, feet, face, and intimate parts.
5. Custom design: A simple existing tattoo pattern costs lower. If the tattooist must make an original design based on the elements you need, then the time he needs to conceive and design the tattoo will affect the price.
6. The location: Tattoo prices in big cities are higher than in small towns.7. The size: If the tattoo artist and tattoo style are the same, the smaller the tattoo, the cheaper the prices.8.The popularity of tattoo artists or studios: The more famous tattoo artists and tattoo shops are, the higher the tattoo prices.9.Tattoo supplies: Equipment for finishing tattoo and disposable tattoo supplies are another cost, and the higher quality the equipment, the higher the prices. These items include tattoo inks, tattoo needles, sterilization devices, ink caps, speed stick, wipes, and sprays.
