At The Inkery, we offer custom tattoos priced by the piece—perfect for medium-range designs that require thoughtful detail without the commitment of an all-day session.

 

Pricing is determined by several factors, including:

🎨 Size – Larger pieces generally require more time and materials.

🖋️ Detail – Intricate linework or custom elements may affect pricing.

🌈 Color vs. Black & Grey – Full-color designs often take longer than black & grey shading.

⚫ Placement – Certain areas of the body may be more complex to tattoo.

🕒 Time Estimate – Your artist will assess how long the design will take to complete.

 

Every piece is tailored to your idea, style, and budget. Whether it’s a bold statement or a deeply personal design, we’ll guide you through the process to make sure your ink comes out exactly how you imagined.

Looking for something small but meaningful? Our shop minimum tattoos are ideal for simple, clean designs that make a big impact in a small space.

 

These tattoos typically include:

✔️ Minimalist symbols – like semicolons, hearts, initials, or basic shapes

✔️ Tiny text or single words

✔️ Basic line work – non-geometric, non-complex designs

 

Our shop minimum is $100, which covers the artist’s setup time, equipment, and expertise—even for the smallest pieces. We take every tattoo seriously, no matter the size, and ensure you receive the same care, precision, and professionalism you’d expect from a larger piece.

When it comes to larger-scale tattoos—such as sleeves, back pieces, or full custom designs—these are typically billed by the hour or by session.

 

Each artist at The Inkery sets their own hourly rate based on their experience, style, and technique. Rates are discussed during your consultation to ensure transparency and help you plan accordingly.

 

Hourly/session-based tattoos are ideal for:

🕒 Larger or more complex designs

🎨 Projects requiring multiple sittings

🖌️ Highly detailed or heavily shaded work

🔁 Ongoing custom pieces with evolving ideas

 

Your artist will work with you to map out the vision, time estimate, and number of sessions needed to bring your piece to life—ensuring both quality and comfort throughout the process.
