If I Want to Get Tattooed by You in Los Angeles, How Much Should I Budget?
It depends on the size and complexity of the project, but I can give you a clear idea of my current pricing.
For smaller tattoos, my rate is $300 per hour. For larger projects, I usually work with full-day sessions:
- 12 PM–6 PM: $1,800
- 12 PM–approximately 9 PM: $2,200
Realism, cover-ups, large forearm pieces, sleeves, and other highly detailed tattoos are usually better planned by full-day sessions rather than hourly pricing.
Before booking, you can send me the body area, approximate size, your idea, and a few reference images. From that, I can usually estimate whether the project will take a few hours, one full day, or multiple sessions.
I currently work by appointment in Culver City, Los Angeles. A $500 deposit per reserved day is required to secure the appointment, and it goes toward the tattoo session.
