Do you love tattoos? Are you worried about how much do tattoo costs? Whether the cost of the tattoo will fit in your budget or not?
I am sure you must have read or heard of a quote, "good tattoos aren't cheap, cheap tattoos aren't good," It's also hanging in most of the tattoo studios if you have ever visited one. You may also have friends and people around you, who brag about how expensive their tattoo is? Let me attest to the above quote that it is very true. Tattoos are costly, and there are tons of reasons for such high tattoo prices in India or for that matter all over the world, you can read about it here why the tattoos are expensive
So why am I writing this blog post if I only were to confirm that tattoos are expensive? Well, let me put forth another perspective here; Not all tattoos are expensive :)
There are numerous ways to quote a tattoo; some people charge as per hours, some as per size. However, most of it boils down to one, and the only thing, How complex is your tattoo design? The higher the complexity of the tattoo design, the higher the skill set required to do the tattoo, the higher the cost of the skillful artist, and also more often the intricate tattoos require more time, so higher price.
As far as my experience goes as a world-renown tattoo artist for more than a decade now, I have seen a common trait in my clients; they always want to get a tattoo that is already done on someone, like a copy of it. And, if that tattoo happens to be expensive, they ask us to do it in a smaller size, which is forbidden in my tattoo studio :)
A good tattoo artist will do a good tattoo. However, a great tattoo artist will always save you money with the right guidance and an extra-ordinary tattoo. He will always educate you with the trend and how the best possible tattoo can be done keeping the tattoo price to the lowest.
My team and I always love to educate them, do a proper consultation, and try to understand the core reason for getting a tattoo. Also, a good consultation helps my clients to understand more about themselves, and they realize that their tattoo design can be much more than what they came up with, something of which really matters to them, rather than just copying somebody's idea of design, or reducing the tattoo size to fit the budget.
How do you choose the tattoo design which will fit in your budget? Well, let me share a few facts which will reduce your tattoo cost drastically.
Let me start with the most important one.
