Pricing & Fee Lists
All tattoos are not the same! If you want that Celtic armband you will be paying a little bit more.
The following fee lists are examples of tattoos that will be charged an additional fee due to the difficulty in preparation, stencil process, or execution of the tattoo. These fees will be in addition to the hourly rate charged by your tattoo artist.
Believe it or not, these fees might save you money.
How is this possible? Since Contender Tattoo Studio's artists generally charge an hourly rate for larger tattoos, you are already on track to save some cash versus an artist that only prices by the piece. Having a fee list does tack more on to the hourly rate, but it provides transparency for the client and consistency for the artist.
Paul Carlson - Fee List
Acacia Moses - Fee List
Connecting arm or leg bands (circumference)................$50
Centered chest or back (includes spine)...........................$20
Matching pair of tattoos (i.e. across the chest or back, or on both matching limbs etc.).................................................$30
All tattoos behind the ear have a minimum of $100.
All freehand drawing exceeding 15 minutes will be charged $50/hr.
Cover-up tattoos run $140 an hour. Cover up designs must be approved before sending a deposit in, or your deposit may be returned.
Groups of two (2) or more getting tattoos at the same time will be charged the $130 per hour rate (unless a specific quote is given for each tattoo) - with the time starting from when the designs are approved and the stenciling and tattoo process is started, until each person is bandaged and given aftercare instructions.
All other tattoos are given a 15 minute window for tattoo setup and stenciling before the hourly rate is in progress. If you arrive after the 15 minute window from your appointment time, you will be charged a $40 late start fee if there is still enough time to complete your tattoo.
*Lastly, any changes in size during the setup and stenciling of the tattoo may change the cost of the tattoo and vary from your original quote if one was given. This may seem like common sense, a larger design will likely take longer and cost more.
