Tattoo Pricing - ★ TATTOO ADVICE ★ by Tattoo Artist Electric Linda

[@electriclinda]

Thank you guys for watching my video. What you would like to know about tattoos? Let me know if you have any ideas for new videos I should make.

[@electriclinda]

To me it sounds like it got some scar tissue from overworking the first time. A tattoo should then rest at least 4-5 weeks before retouching it, otherwise you get scar tissue. You actually got it twice, from what you explain. You can tattoo over it, but wait, let it rest, the longer the better. If there is a bumpy scar, you should wait at least 3 years before tattooing over it, otherwise the scar tissue will not heal well, and it can get worse. The coverup will camouflage the old tattoo, but if it is very bumpy, the texture will always show in some lighting. Find a good artist who has a lot of experience with coverups and the style you want. Good luck!

[@lindinder]

You should do a tattoo tour video! I'd love to hear about your own personal work.

[@electriclinda]

+Linda Howard I am planning to do one! Thank you so much!

Electric Linda your beautiful

[@jacoberick8437]

I really enjoyed listening to your voice , I just focus on your voice how you talk hehehhe

[@blackvelvet9599]

I work in a tattoo shop, we have an hourly rate, minimum price and a full day price, it’s a lot better that way because if you’re doing a full day session, you don’t need to rush, you can have a short lunch break with a client which is sometimes necessary when you are working longer than 5 hours straight, the client doesn’t feel the pressure of sitting through a difficult session if he’s not good with pain, you can take your time, have breaks etc.

[@megandenitto1333]

Where is ur studio

[@sarahn.2296]

I'm so self conscious about getting a tattoo. I have one I got years ago in my teens but it's just script and it's relatively small. I'd really like to ask this one local artist what she would charge for a piece I have in mind, but I'm so scared to ask because I'm afraid she'll think I'm shopping around or that I'll ask her to come down in price or something. But it's honestly just that I'd like to know so I know how long it will take me to save up for it. Idk i get so scared of being judged for asking questions.

[@rujanmjesec]

I know that feeling, I have the same problem. But a good tattoo artist will never judge you for asking for a price. When you go shopping, you see a nice shirt, of course you will look at the price before you buy it, so why should it be any different with tattoos? A good tattoo artist understands that!

[@jamb4450]

I know what you mean. I want a tat but I don't have much money, so I need to know how much so I can save up.

[@musicgal421]

I think a good artist encourages asking the price. It’s all in HOW you ask. If you just say how much and expect a price that’s not going to work. But if you walk in and say I have this piece in mind I’m wondering with time,placement and if it’s something in your artist level( ok find another way to say that🤣) what would I be looking at. If they judge you for asking move on to someone who won’t judge! You need to feel comfortable with them! They’ll be marking you for life!

[@jamessheppard4709]

Don't be scared to ask for a price most artists are happy to give you a price up front. Show them the piece you want and the size so they can price it. My suggestion is to save $200 before you go to the shop to ask, the tattoo shop I go to has a $100 (CAD) minimum but most of mine have been between $150-$300 also plan a few $$$ extra to tip your artist if you like their work, most don't get the full price of the tattoo.

[@user_abcxyzz]

[@randalsavage790]

I would love to be inked by Linda! She has a calming and very soothing voice that puts you at ease. Not to mention the quality of the work i have seen so far is on point. Linda is easy on the eyes too and her accent is just to cute. New sub!

[@cathyp92]

@kamionkami1 Funny calling someone unintelligent when you can't understand the comment that was made. Her calming and very soothing voice PUTS YOU AT EASE. The QUALITY OF THE WORK I have seen so far is on point. This is why they want a tattoo from her. Her being easy on the eyes is just a bonus.

[@Nunya144]

Thank you so much for explaining this because many artist (now I understand why) would get angry when you ask, but I wasn't saying they were not worth that, I'm simply inquiring what you just explained in the video. So I thank you so much.

[@sammanthat]

I'm no tattoo artist, but from the handful of tattoo shops that I've been in and been tattooed in, they have a shop minimum of like $50-$75 dollars for like small tattoos or like walk-ins and then for the bigger commissions like several hours+ they would have like a down payment that you would have to pay during the consultation that wasn't necessarily refundable so that in case the client flaked, they would still have some money to cover the cost of prep and design. And then they would have a combination of hourly and set pricing depending on the size of the tattoo and how long the tattoo artist thinks they might need to complete the tattoo. Of course I'm just speaking for my experiences getting tattoos and also seeing my friends get tattoos as well. I really like your videos and they help me learn more from the artist's perspective than just a tattooed person's perspective!

[@happymindesign]

I watched this because I recently started at a higher end tattoo shop and find it difficult to determine what to charge my clients. I totally agree with everything you said, I just wish there was an encyclopedia of like what other artists charge so I can figure out what to do 💛 thanks for your videos , youre great :)

[@nicewithit_nic]

I have regularly seen between 125 to 150$ an hour that is USD.

[@SparklingDoom]

[@LauraFunFunFloweries]

& TIP your artist 🤗🤑 cause it's nice to show your extra appreciation, for the great service, you received. Maybe tips are included in Europe prices, but I don't think they are, in the US. When my artist says, $X, I give an extra $20+, as a tip

[@leogirl77]

Think you’re awesome! Thanks for all the advice- it’s much appreciated. You’re an inspiration

[@crystalsnow7293]

i found a tattoo artist that i thought was pretty good but her hourly price STARTED at $2500 and i didn't think she was that good

[@phxbillcee]

Holy S**t!! Sorry, no one is THAT good! But, more power to her if she can get it.

[@Agent4point5]

[@Budgeman83030]

I’ve go to a shop that has a set hourly rate but I learned (this can be the artists decision) that the better I sit and follow their instructions then they come down some. Not a lot but sometimes $25 dollars which I give them as a tip

[@RicardoRoams]

I must admit I really know very little about tattoos. And up until very recently, I never considered getting one. But I have seen some beautiful work on people. I'm fast approaching 70 and I thought I might take the plunge. I have a specific tattoo in mind. Nothing real fancy or overly colorful. I realize it is art but sooner or later a specific price must be agreed upon and paid. So if an artist cannot give me some ballpark dollar amount when I have a consultation, how can I make an intelligent decision? From your title "Tattoo pricing", I was hoping you would provide examples of some of your work and what you charged for those tattoos. That would really help someone like me.

[@michaelj2536]

Hi Linda. I got you number 1000 likes lol.....I started 35 years ago, gave up w no apprenticeship.....now this year I'm starting up again.....my ex wife does them and we are getting re married in the future.....so pumped about the available info and quality of tools today. Cant wait to get going again.

[@pammyespinosa411]

Your voice is so calming 💖

[@eldomi-americano7097]

I prefer paying for the piece as I know how much it would cost. I have been to hourly artist and have felt ripped off as they take longer.

[@HGQjazz]

I book 3 hour sessions with my artist. He charges me $350 usually. If we're 'working' the whole time (no prep, no breaks), he asks for $400.

[@monsterjazzlicks]

You seem very honest in all of your advice, Linda.

[@kathygairland3654]

What is a respectable way to ask about prices?

[@jessebandit_tattoos4142]

Our shop minimum is 40$ plus tax as we do our tattoos we charge more on the piece then the scale of it as for me I’m a bit of the slow and steady wins the race kind of tattooer I do full color pieces all rounder but I tend to use my mags to the point I can’t anymore in a tattoo then take my liner up to the edges to make sure every bit of it’s saturated. We don’t have set prices for things it’s whichever artist you choose there price is there price and we stand by that in our shop just so no one goes over each other’s toes and I agree to the theory of the different artists different prices something I may charge 200$ on maybe something I wanna do more then something I wouldn’t wanna do which would take more time and labor out of our schedule so it maybe higher in the end the prices are up to the artists and what is felt need be charged anywhere you go. Good to see someone actually making good content on alternative questions asked among tattooers to clients

[@polyboyvalikoula6386]

Thanks for sharing This i just started tattoo your video really helped alot 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏

[@elainabillings1863]

I have a large upper back piece that's fully colored and it was $750, took about 7/8 hours. People i know told me that it was way too expensive, I'm crazy for spending that much, THAT THEY ONLY SPENT $100 FOR A DRAGON GOING FROM THEIR HIP DOWN THEIR LEG. the piece was stolen, was only black line work, and SHIT line work. So shaky and inconsistent like.. I'm glad I paid $750 mine is a GORGEOUS piece

[@tomleerdam9414]

I recently got a full sleeve. It took 15 hours and took 2 days back to back. The price was 6300 dollar in total. He is a pretty popular artist but for me it was worth it. Youre gonna have to live with the tattoo for your entire life. The artists work should inspire you more and the price shouldnt hold you back. Cheap tattoos arent good and good tattoos arent cheap

[@fuscinula]

What was the name of your artist?

[@gustavocunha7719]

If I may ask, did you tip for a sleeve that cost $6,300?

[@johncameron4194]

😳 damn. But if your happy

[@justfriccoff3363]

Oh yeah yeah

[@davidportillo7068]

My tattoo guy charges 3500 for a full day session it can take 2-4 days to complete a sleeve so yes it can pretty damn expensive but the work is phenomenal ! The tattoo parlor is called "the skull museum" his name is nick Best artist in northern California if you ask me ! And check out young blood he charges 2500 for a full day same tattoo parlor

[@portercmt]

I usually will ask what they charge, whether hourly or per piece, not because I'm looking for cheap, but so I have an idea of how much it'll cost me. Then I'll ask them how long they think it might take, as they have experience with it, and they'll usually guesstimate, again, so I have an idea how much it'll run. I DO talk shit about other studios if they did me wrong. Went to one studio, they charged $150/hour and they DO beautiful work, but their attitudes stunk. I'm not asking for falling to their knees for me to be a customer, but don't talk shit about my pieces I have on me and don't give me attitude. I'm paying for you to put what I ask (aside from professional opinions) onto me. I don't want attitude. So, for my recent piece, which they also charge $150/hour, it took 4 hours, and everyone was polite and kind. That's all I ask for. If I pay you to place art onto my body, at least be professional, polite and kind. And of course do decent work, but I want at least people to be nice. The guy who did my piece was nice and I got breaks, so after paying $600 for the tattoo, I also gave him $70 tip. That's all I want. Be kind and customer oriented, not a big douche.

[@alton791]

I like to get an idea (“ballpark figure“) of the cost before getting started with the tattoo to make sure I have the $ & tip before the person starts. No one works for free & I want to make sure I can pay for it before beginning.

[@jamessroga3114]

we have a $100 minimum. anything smaller than a regular piece of paper is a flat rate and big stuff is 200 per hour for the first two hours and 150 per hour for the third and consecutive hours after that. Mind you, it's in Canadian dollars.

[@Nocturnal808]

LEGIO MORTIS how can I ask an artist about a ballpark price without them being offended??

[@robbievargas8479]

nocturnal808 if he charges hourly just run, it’s a scam. Most professionals are able to quote you by the piece, difficulty, and time all in one consultation.

[@Nocturnal808]

Robbie Vargas gotcha, thanks

[@CRIMSON-FLAME1]

I love your channel. Just got the lining done for my second tattoo and it's my whole arm of a phoenix. Lol nobody was expecting it either and The experience was very surreal because my last tattoo was when I was 16 / 12 years ago lol very small one on my fore arm. It was like I was getting a tattoo for the first time again because of how long it has been but this time it's on a much grander scale.

[@lindathornton6985]

I went to a shop where the guy wanted $200 an hour for a ~7x8" tattoo. And he said it would take at least 4 hours so basically $800 for the tattoo. I thought this was absolutely rediculous. The guy didnt even meet with me, he had a receptionist talk to me and then she went to a back room to talk to him.

[@marijanashum3671]

[@michellehawk282]

Linda Thornton Definitly a red flag, you should really talk to your Tattoo Artist personally before getting Tattoed by him.

[@hugorivas4922]

Some tattoo artist are so picky youre lucky if he even wants to tattoo you and price is getting higher now.

[@alexklein7125]

My friend told me that she didn’t have a consultation before actually getting a tattoo. I was wondering if some tattoo shops do that because idk if that’s normal.

[@keltait]

no, you dont need an in person consultation for every tattoo. its often not necessary unless its an in depth piece. If the client needs one to feel more comfortable, then thats fine too. theres no set rule :)

[@kurtecstasy3225]

Thanks for sharing Electric Linda! 🖤

[@johannahortenciarivera2977]

Thank you for explaining it. This help me a lot.

[@susanleach183]

I always take a while to decide what sort of tattoo I'd like then I'll wait until the time is right to make the appointment & put down a deposit which secures the tattoo session

[@susanleach183]

Lots of people complain that tattoos cost so much,its not only the tattoo that costs it's the stencilling,ink,needles,machinery,the artists time & cost per hour,how big you tattoo is going to be,the detail,& many other factors

[@realta140]

I think it’s extremely important if you’re planning something like a sleeve to get a general idea of what you’re looking at paying but I don’t think it should be the most important thing about your tattoo

[@MissGamerBeauty]

I’m planning on getting a tattoo soon, but I don’t know how to ask how much I am expected to save up. I’m running tight on cash but the tattoo I’m planning on getting is something important for me and a reward after dealing with some issues in my life.

[@brettklein4745]

I have 5 birds on my arm and it was $100 (AUD) They did a combination, it took about an hour, and the tattoo goes along most of my wrist

[@BOATINDOCTOR]

It is important to point out all of the things that need done that the client never sees, it takes me 30 minutes to set up and 30 minutes to break down don't forget to charge for that in a month that time adds up quckly

[@alton791]

Rent/lease, utilities & other overhead costs also are factors to consider in pricing.

[@boghyboghy3642]

A good tattoo and artist makes it all worthwhile

[@NevaehsThriftyNiftyTreasures]

My biggest problem os people wanting a price online or over the phone... I have 25 yrs experience and have won multiple awards... I charge by the hour but I live in Rural Appalachia my shop is in Ironton Ohio where Ohio Wva and Ky meet... So tp get $100 an hour is like pulling teeth around here but when I tattoo on tour at Sturgis.. The Easyrider Tour and conventions I get $200+ per hour with no problem all day long and these ppl look at the same portfolio my ppl at home look at.. But your video is spot on... Ppl just don't understand the time and money we put into a tattoo before they even sit in the chair... I will definitely share this video to my Facebook page as soon as I get outta Facebook Jail 🤣😂🤣

[@zacjenkins3964]

hi i'm looking on getting a tattoo on my thigh and just seeing if you could guess how much it would cost thanks

[@andyfletcher154]

I’ve always seen it as if it’s something you want and your happy after your consultation then I don’t think price is relevant if you’ve found the right artist . I’m just saying and I’ve got quite a few big tattoos and I’ve got an artist I trust. Just my experience

[@jaydalton5455]

Excellent breakdown,... I try to explain all this to clients regularly

[@truthseeker5624]

Awesome! Well said beautiful

[@muzzmilk2606]

Most shops I deal with are hourly, there is a minimum 1 hour charge and the set up is included. Most shops I interact with use modern equipment and not coils so there isn’t a great deal involved in gear set up. Designs are normally done after hours and are not charged for until they are inked.

very useful video again, only thing i wish artist would understand that certain people ask the price cuz they have to put that money aside next to other prices to pay etc... im in the same shoe now i just want to know how much should i spare for that specific tattoo but i dont want to cheap off of it.

Thank you for taking time to do these videos. They are very helpful. Things have changed in the last 35 years and it's nice to get up to speed and your vids help. I usually charge a set price per tat unless the customer brings their own art work then it's by the hour.

[@MitchellNihil00]

Why are tattoos so expensive? Well for one thing, just imagine you could buy a sweater, or a pair of jeans, and it would always be your size, you would always have it, and you could wear it up until the day you die. You would pay a lot for that, wouldn't you?

I want to get a large forearm tattoo but with minimum detail and black/grey color. Basically it is a double loop of an ouroboros snake. I'm on a tight budget though, so I'm afraid I won'y be able to afford it when I go in for a consult.

[@dion789]

I'm planning a leg sleeve and know which artist I hope will do it. I'm just ssearching the internet for price estimates because I want to make sure I've saved enough. I don't want to approach her with my idea and then have to back out because I can't afford it. But it's understandable that it's difficult to estimate with the amount sleeves vary.

I’m getting a custom “half-half sleeve” (by that i mean, inner arm wrist to elbow) is it weird that my artist is only charging me the full day price of 300?

[@HARLEM-NEWYORK]

Does $2000 a day sound about right? That's what I got quoted and he said it would take 4-5 sessions

[@electriclinda]

That is the double of what I charge.

[@Incantato]

Every form of art is expensive, tattooing should not be any different

[@magoo5808]

My brother agreed a fee of £500 for a back tattoo. The tattooist quoted £500 for a six hour session. After six hours he said he couldn't finish in time and my brother would have to rebook another half day. After another three hours the job was done and the tattooist asked for another £250 for the extra time. At first my brother thought he was joking. But he was serious. My brother refused and walked out. How can anyone agree a fee and then ask for more? Is this even legal?

[@aaronhughes6392]

I paid 100 an hour, and $100 dollar down payment for the design. (Down payment was the first hour price once a client shows up)

[@tresilva8876]

I just subbed to you're channel love you're tattoos and advice you give in the videos I'm saving up for another one I haven't gotten one in four years it's taken me that long because I'm always thinking about what I wanna get next I I wanna get a sleeve done I'm quite patient too and I know I want one of my arms to be horror, Gothic themed not exactly the creative type all I know so far is I do love skull tattoos maybe a tattoo artist can add to what he or she thinks is cool to go with the skulls and like you said about the rose tattoos in one of the videos I can't just go in there and ask for a skull tattoo because there are a variety of skull tatts to choose from I'm from Massachusetts and he's in Connecticut he does an excellent job with both my ink so it's worth traveling to see him (my artist) anyways sorry for this long comment and again I do love your advice you give and great videos overall!

[@PENFOLD1962]

I absolutely hate pricing my work! There's always one client that wants it done quicker and cheaper!

[@lorimitchell9025]

Do you tattoo hourly or a set price

[@goldengamer714]

Hello there and good evening, I just discovered your channel today and you have great content!!! My question is more that I would feel bad asking the price because it is a common question yet just to give me an idea. I don’t have any tattoos at the moment now but would like to in the future and want to be able to say all the right things and not bothersome questions, if that makes sense? For example, I am thinking on my front upper right thigh I want something that is related to Halloween, such as a Wendigo, jack-o-lantern or skull. I know tattoos can be expensive, but it is worth it in the end. I never want to offend and make an tattoo artist angry or upset. I thank you for making these because I don’t want to be the person who is a bad client or unpleasant one.

[@gilliebeantje8296]

To be honest, i ask the shop also how much They think a piece will cost because i am scared that i don't bring enough cash so i always take their price plus extra to be sure i can pay them and don't have to say, o wait i go to the bank to get more cash

[@johncameron4194]

But it is an understandable question from the buyers perspective

[@reneechen2264]

Hi linda . How much is it for a freckle by you? Just curious

[@speltcaster3186]

I have no idea what her prices are but what I've seen from other shops it would probably be a minimum price, depending on the shop it could be anywhere from 50-150 usd, the minimum price is something that would not take the full time of their hourly rate or under their deposit price so no matter if it took 5 minutes or 40 minutes you'll pay that minimum.

my tattoo artist charges £70 per hour.. no doubt he is very good at what he's doing. so he recommended me to take a full day session with him cos it was "cheaper" - £400. I had it few days ago and let me tell u - never again!! If I take off all the breaks (I didn't ask for any, he insisted) the real time he tattooed me was about 5 and a half hours. I can't push him telling do your job, I don't need that many breaks, fuck knows maybe his eyes hurt or he's tired.. he was playing video games on these breaks btw.. so basically it was just a rip off...

But did he have to draw the desgin first. My last tattoo i had took him 2 hours to draw as i gave him a small photo to work from. Booked me in for 4 hours but only took 2. But i still paid for the 4 hours as he did lots of prrp work

All tattoo artist need the price for the area their shop is in if you are taking somebody's whole monthly income to do a tattoo you are overcharging them

[@newfieocean2012]

My tattoo artist charges min 40 and 120 a hour.

I understand that there is a HUGE price difference in tattoos, because one might take 5 minutes and another 5 months. But there all these videos by tattoo artists who talk about clients asking for a price like it’s a big annoyance. But....um....I need to know if I can afford the car I am going to buy before I sign the papers! I know design I want, about what size and color, will have the artist do the actual design. But then I need to know how much! I have no clue what any tattoo costs. This might be $100 or $1000, that’s a big difference and would mean I can or can’t get it. Yet, these videos make me feel like I am a jerk for even asking. (Not you, Linda! You seem sweet. ☺️). You don’t buy stuff from the store without looking at the price, I should be looked at like an uncultured worm for asking.

Love your videos, Electric Linda! But I'm wondering: why do many people from northern Europe, like Norway, Denmark, and the Netherlands, have American accented English, instead of British accented English? Is the American culture somehow preferred over there? You really sound like you grew up here in the U.S.A.! And my second question is for all the tattoo artists out there (including Linda!): Do you collect the money before, or after you have finished the tattoo? Thanks for any feedback!

Hello Linda I've just discovered you here on KZbin, checked your personal portfolio on Instagram (I think you are the perfect artist for me because I want a cover up and a correction to a piece I already have) your shop 's account in Instagram and website and I was amazed. I was planning to come to Norway on March or April for 5 days vacation because it's a beautiful country and I have around 10.000 Nok at the moment for Tattoos (I know they are not a lot but I'm collecting money for that cause because I wanted to get new tattoo(s) on my vacation as birthday present to myself) . I wanna know if you charge by the hour or day, if you have a minimum charge, how many hours maximum you are working for a client and how much are the charges. Except that I wanted to ask you if you are free these months or when it's best for you.. Sorry for this long comment and all these questions (i wanted to ask and write more details but I hesitated) I just want to know everything in detail before my trip!! Thank you for your amazing videos and advices!!!Much love from Greece :)
