It does not exist - the nail on the head answer to the probably most asked question of the tattoo scene. Who wants to get a tattoo, should first be aware that the final price of each tattoo depends on numerous factors.
Sustainability
Basically, a tattoo does not disappear. If you decide on a motif, be sure that you still find it great in ten years and it does not lose its meaning for you. And just because a tattoo lasts a lifetime, you should not primarily look at the price, but at the quality when choosing your tattoo artist. If a tattoo for 100 euros is already too expensive for you, but you are willing to spend 150 euros on the latest sneakers, check whether the proportionality is right! Because while your sneakers end up in the trash bin after two years at the latest, worn out and worn out, a tattoo will be on your skin for the rest of your life.
Preparation
Let's face it - getting a tattoo hurts. At the beginning we bear the pain with anticipatory composure. But at the latest after one and a half to two hours it can become critical with one or the other customer. Nothing is more annoying than to have to break off before completion or before the daily goal set together with the tattoo artist. Because that also means that the tattoo artist must charge you higher costs, after all, he now needs twice the amount of material and you a new appointment. So it makes sense to prepare for the appointment. This starts already with appearing well rested and sufficiently strengthened. A week before it is also recommended to regularly apply gentle skin lotion to the area to be tattooed.
Size and material
Of course, the final price of your tattoo also depends on how large the area to be tattooed is. A larger tattoo needs more ink, but especially much more (working) time and often requires preparatory measures of your tattoo artist. Not to be underestimated is also the material consumed during an appointment. While accessories such as paper, gloves, foil, wound cream and the like per tattoo with cents still keep within limits, it is mainly the ink, the needle (s) and the disinfectant, which are reflected in the sum.
Body part
Here it depends on the place where you would like to see your motif. Because the more sensitive the body part, the more carefully and slowly the tattoo artist must work. Possibly the pain tolerance of the customer is even so strained after a short time that it must be broken off prematurely and a new appointment must be found.
Notoriety
Another essential component is the level of awareness of a tattoo artist or studio. The better known the artist, the more people will want to get tattoos from him. An artist who has a high number of followers, for example, can not possibly serve all his requests and is consequently able to choose his customers firstly and secondly to call up higher fees. For comparison: There are certainly many painters who paint similarly to Picasso - however, only with the real, original Picasso are you willing to pay the called price!
Hourly or fixed price?
A fixed hourly rate does not exist here either, because every tattoo artist sets this differently. Usually, the hourly rate is between 100 and 150 euros. For more sought-after tattoo artists, the rate can be as high as 200 euros per hour. On a fixed price, the tattoo artist is usually only for smaller motifs, where he does not need any preparation, and for easy to tattoo places (eg the arms).
Conclusion
Besides the few things you can influence yourself, the cost of your tattoo depends primarily on the motif itself. For example, many tattoo artists agree on an hourly rate from the outset for large and realistic motifs and thus transfer a share of responsibility for the final price to the customer. Tattoos are individual - this applies to your motif, to your story behind it and of course also to the price you pay for it.
