Do not shop for your tattoo or your tattoo artist simply based on price. As the years go by you will be glad you paid for THE PERFECT TATTOO. Sometimes people will show you a bad tattoo and excuse the quality by explaining how inexpensive it was. A tattoo is one of the few things we purchase that will last a lifetime. Once you find the right artist it is worth spending a few extra dollars to make sure you get it right. Tattoo artists usually charge between $125 and $150 an hour. Also, most shops have a minimum. Ours shop minimum is $60. There is a saying in many tattoo studios that "good tattoos are not cheap and cheap tattoos are not good".
