Key Factors
What Determines Your Tattoo Price?
How our studio quotes projects transparently and objectively.
1. Size & Detail Density
A 10 cm piece featuring micro realism, intricate shadows, or textures requires considerably more chair time and needle configurations than a minimalist outline of the same physical dimensions.
2. Body Placement Complexity
Areas with delicate, elastic, or sensitive skin (ribs, neck, hands, ankles) necessitate extra precision, skin stretching, and steady application, which adjusts the session duration.
3. Artist Mastery & Awards
Resident artists like Letto bring over a decade of competition trophies and verified expertise, guaranteeing that your tattoo heals flawlessly and holds value for life.
4. Cover-ups & Scar Tissue
Covering old unwanted ink or disguising scars requires careful pigment density planning and clever composition routing so the old mark doesn’t show through.
