Size
Larger designs cover more skin and take longer. Size is the biggest single factor in the quote.
Guide
How much does a tattoo cost?
There's no single price for a tattoo — two designs of the same size can take very different amounts of time. This guide explains what affects the price, how our home-visit charges work, and how to get an accurate quote in minutes.
What changes the price
6 things that decide your tattoo cost
Detail
A simple outline is quicker than a mandala or a Mahakal face with fine shading — even at the same size.
Colour vs black & grey
Colour work usually takes more time and more ink than black and grey.
Placement
Curved or sensitive areas like ribs, feet and fingers can take longer to tattoo cleanly.
Custom design
A fully original design or a cover-up needs extra drawing time compared to a simple reference.
Sessions
Large pieces may need more than one session. Each session is planned and quoted with you.

The tattoo quote
Send your reference, size and placement on WhatsApp. We'll share a clear quote — you only proceed once you agree.

- Send a reference image — a photo, a screenshot or a rough sketch.
- Tell us the size in inches or centimetres. Hold a ruler against your skin to check.
- Tell us the placement — wrist, forearm, back and so on.
- Colour or black & grey? If you're not sure, ask us to quote both.
- Number of people — if friends or your partner are joining.
Smart ways to get more value
Book together. Couples, friends and family share one home visit, so the visit charge is spread across several tattoos.
Keep it simple. Clean, minimal designs take less time without looking cheap.
Plan ahead for big pieces. Agreeing the full design and number of sessions upfront avoids surprises.
What you should never compromise on
Cheap tattoos can become expensive if they need fixing — or if hygiene is poor. Whatever you pay, insist on sealed single-use needles, fresh gloves, new ink caps and a stencil you approve. Read more on how we keep home tattoos safe.
