Short answer: tattoos at Gall Tattoo Studio start from 50 €, and the final price depends mainly on two things: the size and the complexity of the design. The exact price is given once we have seen your idea.
The two things that decide the price
Size and complexity together tell us how many hours of work a tattoo needs, and time is what the price is built on. Two tattoos of the same size can take completely different amounts of work, which is why a price per centimetre does not exist.
1. Size
A larger tattoo covers more skin and takes longer. Each size has an approximate price range, and the very large pieces are usually done over more than one session. Placement also counts: a curved or hard-to-reach area is slower to work on than a flat one.
2. Complexity
Complexity is everything that makes the design harder to draw and to place on the skin:
- Amount of detail: a simple symbol is quick, a design with many small elements is not.
- Fine lines and precision: delicate work leaves little room for error, so it is done slowly and carefully.
- Shading and realism: smooth transitions and depth take much longer than a plain outline.
- Custom design: a design drawn for you from your own idea takes more time than a ready-made one.
- Hand-drawing directly on the skin: when the artist draws freehand on the body, the work takes more time and skill, and the design fits the body.
A small but very detailed tattoo can therefore cost more than a larger, simple one.
What the starting price of 50 € means
50 € is where the prices begin, for the smallest and simplest tattoos. It is not the price of every small tattoo. The more detail and the larger the size, the further the price moves from that starting point.
Other things that affect the price
- Experience: the experience of the artist affects the price.
- Studio costs: consumables, rent, electricity and insurance contributions.
- Small details: many things that look minor actually change the final result.
How much does a cover-up cost
The price of a cover-up is very relative. It depends on whether it is only a refresh of an existing tattoo or an entirely new design. Hand-drawing plays a big role here as well. If the old tattoo first has to be lightened, see laser tattoo removal in Lyubimets and cover-up or laser removal.
Do not compare only the starting price
When you compare offers, ask what is included in the price: the design, the consumables and the work on the skin. A lower number is not always the same work.
How to get an accurate price
The clearer your inquiry, the more accurate the estimate. Send it through the inquiry form with:
- your idea and a few reference photos,
- the size in centimetres,
- the placement on the body, ideally with a photo of the place,
- how detailed you want it: simple lines, fine details or shading.
