Understanding Tattoo Costs: How Much Should You Expect to Pay?

Heartless Ink TattooTattoos are a form of self-expression that have become increasingly popular in recent years – but not all tattoo shops are created equal. At Heartless Ink we offer premium tattoos that can stand side-by-side with the best in the world, and we charge a fair rate for that, which is why we like to be upfront about our pricing. In this blog post, we’ll break down the cost of tattoos and provide some guidelines for what you can expect to pay.

Firstly, it’s important to understand that at Heartless Ink, we price our tattoos by time, not size. This means that the cost of your tattoo will depend on how long it takes to complete, rather than the physical size of the design.

For example, small graphic work, text, and line work typically cost $150 per hour. For larger pieces, such as sleeves, half sleeves, back pieces, and leg pieces, we price our tattoos by the session. Each session typically lasts 6-8 hours, and our artists charge between $1200-$3000 per session, depending on the artist’ demand and experience.

To give you an idea of what you can expect to pay for some common tattoo designs, here are some estimated session costs based on our experience:

It’s worth noting that these numbers are just estimates, and the actual cost of your tattoo may vary depending on factors such as the size of the design, the amount of detail involved, and the individual artist’s pricing.

At Heartless Ink, we believe that every tattoo is a work of art, and we take pride in delivering exceptional skill and artistry to our clients. We understand that our tattoos can be a significant investment, but we believe that the end result is worth it because you’re going to walk away with a superior quality tattoo. If you’re interested in getting a tattoo, we encourage you to contact us through our website’s contact form to schedule a free consultation with one of our talented and diverse artists. You will sit down with one of our artists for up to and hour, and they will help you bring your vision to life.

We also invite you to check out our gallery to see some examples of our previous work and get inspiration for your own tattoo design. We’re committed to providing our clients with a high-end, upscale tattoo experience, and we look forward to working with you to bring your vision to life.

After graduating with a Master’s degree in Ancient Philosophy, I decided that I preferred creating beautiful things over writing about other people’s achievements, and so I began

my studies in classical painting. Since then, I have dedicated myself to realizing my ambitions as a painter in the tradition of old masters such as Rembrandt and Caravaggio.

I approach tattooing with the training of a classical painter adapted to the unique demands of creating images on skin. My training in drawing composition and anatomy allows me to craft designs that flow with the human body. My precision and control with each line has been honed through thousands of hours working on paper, canvas, and now skin. My eye is attuned to value, contrast, focus—all aspects that contribute to a harmonious and beautiful tattoo. But most of all, I love having the privilege of applying my skills in a way that brings joy to other people.
