Consult with your artist to select the correct size and design for your tattoo. Testing different sizes and considering existing tattoos can help determine the best fit.
Here is a general guideline for tattoo sizes:
– Miniature: under 2 inches
– Small: between 2-4 square inches
– Large: over 6 square inches
Even for small and straightforward tattoos, a minimum fee may still cover materials and the artist’s time.
Returning customers and large/intricate designs may qualify for discounts. Inquire with the tattoo shop for available deals.
An online cost calculator can help determine the cost of your desired tattoo without any additional expense. Look for accuracy to find an affordable option within your budget.
Tipping around 20% is the average for tattoo services, although not all artists appreciate tips equally. Consider the artist’s efforts to make your experience comfortable and positive when deciding how much to tip. Many artists also appreciate social media shoutouts and positive reviews.
