TATTOO TIME/PRICE ESTIMATOR

I offer 3 appointment options: half day (2-3 hours), full day (4-5 hours), and multi-session tattoos (max 4-5 hours each session). Exact estimates aren't always possible because some tattoos take longer than others for reasons outside of our control.

THESE TIME ESTIMATES ARE FOR BLACK INK TATTOOS DONE BY EM16.

Consider these factors...

  1. For tattoos that require lots of detailing, such as snake scales/feathers or detailed dotwork realism, double the time listed for the detailed area (x2).

  2. For full color or fully blacked-out tattoos, triple the time listed (x3). For partial color, only consider those areas.

  3. For areas where your skin is stretchy, such as the ribs, belly, or upper back, double the time (x2).

  4. Pay attention to the object limit on each item. This is the limit of objects you can include in one tattoo.

1/2 Day Session

  • 4"x4"/PALM SIZED TATTOO: limit of 2 objects

  • 8"x4"/HAND SIZED TATTOO: limit of 3 objects

Full Day Session
