PRICING can be hard to discuss for art, especially something as physically intensive as tattooing. I am happy to talk about specific financial needs, but here is my general approach:
The first hour of our session is $150. After that, my hourly rate is sliding scale $100-125/hr. I offer a sliding scale range at the end of our session, based on that hourly rate. Your $50 security deposit is deducted from the price of the tattoo at the end of our session.
For example, at the end of a two hour tattoo I would ask for $200-225 since the full price range would be $250-275 total. ($150 base, plus $100 to $125 = $250 to $275).
Most of my flash take about 1.5-2.5 hours. I can try to estimate a quote ahead of time, but please note that a tattoo can take longer or shorter than expected due to a number of factors.
