Pricing
Tattoos which are small enough to be finished in less than 1 hour cost £120, which is the shop minimum.
Tattoos which take anywhere from 1-10 hours, and can be done in one day, are charged at £150 per hour, starting from your appointment start time.
How long your tattoo will take is depending on size, time, prep and difficulty. And because neither you or I (luckily) are robots, we will be having reasonable breaks as well, which are all included in the total duration of your appointment.
I will always try my best to manage doing your tattoo in one go where possible, however please be aware that sometimes a design is too complex to do so, even if it is not of a larger size. In those cases you will need multiple sessions, which can be discussed in detail during the booking process).
Some examples for 'done in one go tattoo' pricing:
-small palm size £300-350
-hand sized detailed £400-550
-A5 page sized, e.g. bird with flowers £600-750
-A4-A3 page sized, e.g. floral composition £800-1200
- A3 page size upper arm, e.g. detailed octopus £900-1500
and so on.
*all these prices apply roughly for coverups. Please keep in mind that the price will be higher if it is a challenging coverup job. This can be discussed further during the booking process.
Session prices*:
'Half day' > (a small session, 3 - 4 hrs)= £550
'Full day' > (5 - 6 hrs) = £850
'Long day' > (6 - 8 hrs) = £1000
(£120 per additional hour, if after Long day is completed you would like to prolong the session)
* If for any reasons (you're travelling from far, or just want to work on the tattoo a little more etc) you need to make the long day session even longer, that is no problem at all, and costs £120 per extra hour.
If you are booking for a sleeve or full back or something similar in size, it is not possible for me to give you an exact quote. Large works like this require time, patience and the understanding from the customer that things can’t be rushed. I will always try my best to give you a rough idea of how many sittings you will need, however it can always end up being one or two more, or less than estimated. It is a big commitment, and you should always be sure you are ready for this journey when booking a large tattoo project. To give a very general idea: the most sessions I’ve ever needed for a full detailed floral sleeve (arm) was 6, which were 3 long days and 3 full days. On average, I finish most botanical sleeves in 3-5 sessions.
*session prices only apply to tattoos that can’t be finished in one go, and require multiple sittings. Your deposit will roll over to each sitting and will be deducted at our last appointment.
If your project is a very large one, the first appointment should always be a 'Long day' as I need time to draw and map it out, and do the mark up lines.
Your deposit needs to be paid via bank transfer if you are UK based, and via PayPal if you are coming for your tattoo from abroad.
Payment on the day of your appointment is accepted via bank transfer, cash or contactless/Apple Pay.
Coverups
Price wise, easy coverups (meaning simple fine line tattoos, very faded tattoos, small and light tattoos) are charged like a regular tattoo.
If your coverup is of the more complicated kind (meaning dark, scarred, colour, script, tribal etc) the price will be higher than a regular tattoo of the same size. All of this will be discussed during your email consultation, before you book.
