How much is a tattoo?

Pricing of your tattoo depends on a couple of things. Is it a custom design, or one of my flash pieces? Flash is usually more affordable. How big is the tattoo? The bigger the tattoo, the longer it takes me, the more it will cost! But believe me, it will be worth it Where on your body is the tattoo? Some areas of the body are more difficult to tattoo than others. Colour or black and grey? Colour tattoos may be priced different than black and grey tattoos!
