HOW DOES PRICING WORK?

It all begins with an idea.

Tattoo sleeve featuring detailed floral designs and a colored hummingbird, with faint cursive text integrated into the design.

PROJECTS

$1,200/8hr full day

Asking how much a sleeve is would be like asking how long a piece of string is. Large scale pieces tend to range in the thousands and are done in sessions over time. My full day rate is a $240 discount off my hourly.

Black and gray mandala-style tattoo on forearm with a sun, moon, and stars delicate details.

HOURLY

$180/hr

For medium-scale pieces that may not take a full day, I typically charge hourly and can give a broad estimate based on how long I think a piece may take me depending on detail, design, placement, or black and grey. Color also tends to include more, therefore costs more.

Tattoo of coffee plant branches with green leaves and dark red coffee cherries, along with a smiling cartoon speech bubble face.

MINIMUM & MORE

$100/$150

Every shop has a minimum. My minimum ranges from $100/hr to $150/hr depending on placement. Face, hands, neck, feet and ribs all start at a higher price point due to higher fade and difficulty rates. All pieces include a free first touch up.
