The price of a tattoo these days?

BarryCreed

howdee,

I havent got a tattoo done in about 4 years, so have no idea what the rough cost for one these days would be. The tattoo would be an outline of a bull , like the old bronze age drawings, and it would be no bigger than the size of the palm of your hand, to go on my upper arm. I just want to get the outline done, haven't decided on a colour inside it or anything.
similar to this bull drawing but without the soldiers!

Most parlours charge by the hour, with a minimum two-hour fee. So it really depends on the tattoo. No easy answer.

Yeah, minimum price ranges from 60 - 80 euro. And then it goes to about 100 euro an hour or so.

I recon you're looking at 60 euro in Inkwell for that at the size you want it.

Or 80 in Zulu.

Ive only ever known of 1 shop who does that.. and tbh its run by a pack of a** holes

They've copped on that alot of people just want like a little star or something like that for their first tatt and they're naive to the costs etc so pay it

I hate greed! :mad:

Honey-ec

Sorry, should have clarified that.

Most, if not all shops will charge a minimum fee.

Heard Karen in Sacred Art telling a punter that they had a 2-hour minimum fee. However, that was a few years back now, and thinking back, the person was a walk-in who seemed to be picking a tatt off the wall, so perhaps she was just trying to put him off!

On a similar note I'm looking to get a tattoo on the top of my back. It'll be Celtic and about 10cms by 20cms, mostly all detail. Who in Dublin should I get this done by and how much is it likely to cost? Thanks

your description is meaningless.

"I'm looking to buy a car, 00 plate, probably blue. where will I get it and how much will it cost?"

BarryCreed

thanks for that guys. Im in Limerick. I got my first one done in Dublin a few years back (4 yrs ago), in Temple Bar, the name escapes me, but seemed to be only Italians working there, you had to walk upstairs to it. Got a plain enough one done (my choice). might get it touched up, but I just wanted to be aware of the rough cost before I got another one, and this 2 hoyr minimum thingy as well. cheers for the heads up

I'm looking for a detailed colourful Celtic tattoo for the top of my back, roughly 10cm by 20cm. I'm only looking for a general idea where it might be best to get this done and how much it might cost. If I knew nothing about cars I'd ask a general question about them too.

with out an image its impossible to tell


All we can tell you is that most shops work by hour, and the hourly rate varies around dublin from 80 to 120 (i think) with a minimum of between 60 to 100.

Okay who in Dublin is well known/respected for detailed Celtic work?

hot2def

personally, I'd go to Mick in Swords, Stigmata-tau

I live in Dublin city centre so Swords would be a bit more of a trek than I'd planned for.

why go to the bother of asking repeatedly who would be best if a bus ride is too much trouble?

what you meant to ask was "Which studio would best accomodate my existing lunch-date?"



mick is the bomb, and a lovely guy, and clean, with reasonable prices. how you going to moan about him being in the burbs......
