Obviously someone will show up saying: the brother of the cousin of my aunt's neighbor does it for "fifty bucks". What can I say? Go get it boy, with hepatitis and everything.

Returning to the world of almost normal, different projects require different approaches, each person works in his own way and in his own time. The local market can vary, the cost of living changes from one neighborhood to another, but anyone who works far below the average is accumulating losses or is saving on things that you don't see and those are the ones that can kill you.

When you ask for a quotation, know that there are three points that mostly influence how much work a tattoo requires: - how crazy you go with the concept, level of details, body area; - how the customer behaves, if he is going to move a lot, ask for many breaks; - how the skin reacts to the pigmentation process, how long before it becomes stiff and swollen.

The regular pricing is time based and it's €150/hour with special prices for all-day sessions. We can also work with a budget limit to which we adapt the project.

To reserve the time, a deposit is required, the value will be deducted from the final amount of the session. The rest of the amount must be settled on the day of the session and can be paid in cash.

Some studios control the schedule and pass the budgets, in others the whole process is straight with me. Session time refers to all the artist's time available to the client in the studio.

Here is a sample of works on the same theme with different concepts and the approximate time consumed by each one:
