How much would it cost for me to have a portrate tattooed on my chest?
Pricing on any tattoo will vary according to: -actual size -intricacy -colors -artist/studio -state -location of tat -studio minimum fees (good studios have a min of $60-$90) -per hour/per piece fee (a good artist will generaly charge between $90 and $150 an hour….but don’t be deterred…their work is worth every penny!) Portraits tend to be quite intricate with very specific shading and it’s really going to depend on the size you want. You are probably looking at a few hours sitting, so between $400 and $700 might be a good ballpark, though it’s really impossible for me to say at since without knowledge of the size or piece itself. You definitely want to find yourself an experienced portrait tattooist though, since a good portrait can be absolutely amazing, but there are few worse tats than a badly done portrait. So be sure to look at portfolios!! Take your idea to a tattoo studio or artist you trust, and ask them any questions you might have. Consultations cost nothing and are the
I think the best option you could choose is to have your portrait done by an artist and then have the tattoo done from that portait. I guess it depends on how big it is also , say a medium size tatoo like the palm of your hand or even a little bit bigger would cost up to 1000£. Tattoo prices are based on quality as well as time, and prices will vary artist to artist, region to region. This is not a trade where there are fixed prices. Look at portfolios showcasing examples of tattoos by the tattooist that will be working on you. Look at line quality and smoothness of blends of colour. These photos are the best way to determine if a tattooist is worth what you pay them or is capable of the style you seek. A professional will refer you to someone else if they feel they can not do the piece you want correctly. Bargain tattoos, however, are often a sign of someone more interested in your money than your health. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Don’t gamble with your ski
