    it depends on the artist and how many colors you use, usually one color is the cheapest, you just have to take your pic to a couple places and ask, make sure they’re reputible though. you don’t wanna get hep B or anything

    Between $50 and $100 depending on the design and artist. My first tattoo cost $65 it’s 2in long and about 1in tall. My third tattoo cost $100 is 2in by 1 1/2in and is full color.

    Depends. Where are you located? In sacramento, CA the average pricing is roughly $100-$160 an hour. Some tattoos are priced by design though.

    There’s really no set price that anyone can give you. Price should be of the least importance, honestly. Most important is that you find a good, skilled, experienced, reputable, licensed artist. Talk to them about the tattoo and then ask about cost. Never, never, never argue about cost! If it’s too much, either look elsewhere or consider a different design. Now, I would say that on average, from a good, clean, skilled artist, a moderately detailed one-color tattoo will cost about $75-$100. This is just a very rough estimate. My first tattoo was about 3.5″ by 3.5″ and 4 colors, and I got an amazing deal from a wonderful, skilled artist for $160. Remember that many charge by the hour; a good artist can cost up to $250 per hour, some charge exclusively by looking at the design and judging the difficulty level of it as well as color/s involved. I’d say expect to pay at LEAST $75 but not likely more than $110. Remember though, value is so much less important than quality.
