Tattooing has always been expensive. Even though the tattoo culture is growing and becoming less taboo, it’s still expensive to get a good tattoo that could last you for a lifetime. Depend on which tattoo shop you go to and how big is your tattoo, the cost is varied.
Many people try to look around for a cheap deal on tattoos but it might not be the right decision. Cheap tattoos are easy to get but it’s not good. Price also depends on how good the tattooist is and how well he can do the job. Spending a little bit less can cause more problems in the future when your tattoos become blurry and discoloring.
In America, you can expect a basic price of $80 to $100 an hour. Some tattoo shops don’t charge you by the hour but it might not work best for you. Spending over $200 for your first tattoo can be a bit much if you are not sure what you want. A small tattoo can be great start for first timers only if you really like a small tattoo.
Just like anything else that you want in life, if you really want that tattoo, save up for it. Most tattoo shops won’t do anything less than $40.
