How Much Will my Tattoo Cost?

Our minimum charge is £80, which covers small and very simple tattoos. This can be paid by cash or card at the studio. 

Small to Medium tattoos are priced individually and are usually tattoos that we think will take 3 hours or less. Factors that will influence the price include the level of detail, the positioning of the tattoo, size, colour/shading and the complexity of the design. Each of our artists work with different styles, techniques and prices and as such each artist may charge a different rate. 

For larger tattoos that we think will take longer than three hours we estimate using full day rates. How long a tattoo takes depends upon so many variables - from the size and complexity of the design to the way your individual skin reacts and how well you can sit on the day. Don't worry, we don't quibble on price - if your tattoo takes less than less than five hours in a full day session we will adjust your day rate accordingly!
Day Session: £450 - 5 hours or more of tattooing
Half Day Session £250 - 2.5 hours of tattooing
