The price of a single tattoo depends on many factors.<\/strong>
The main ones include:<\/p>

  • size,<\/li>
  • style of execution,<\/li>
  • working time.<\/li><\/ul>

    For example, a 10\u00d710 cm rose will be priced differently if it’s done as a simple outline compared to an outline with shading. Clients often send reference photos of exceptionally well-done tattoos without realizing how much work goes into achieving that effect. Every single detail must be perfected to ensure everything looks exactly as the client dreamed.<\/p>

    Tattoo color<\/strong> is also a key factor. Colored inks are more expensive, and working with them is more time-consuming. The price of the exact same design will vary depending on whether you choose color or black-and-grey. This is due to both the cost of materials and the time required to complete the tattoo.<\/p>

    At our Kings of Ink studio, the starting price for a tattoo is 250 PLN.<\/strong> Even if the design is just a tiny dot \u2014 size doesn’t matter here. The starting price is mainly influenced by single-use disposable materials<\/strong>, such as needles. As the name suggests, they can only be used once, so it doesn’t matter whether we work with them for a minute or half an hour. The price also includes setting up the workstation and other consumables<\/strong>, like barrier films, gloves, disposable sheets, and disinfectants. Therefore, if you want to get small tattoos, it’s highly worth getting a few of them done at the same time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    It is hard to price a tattoo without a design. Some even say that the design is 50% of the success. That is why the final price includes the cost of an custom design<\/strong> \u2014 preparing it according to the client’s vision often takes several or even a dozen hours of work. This is also the reason why tattoo artists do not share their designs beforehand, for example by sending them to a client. Unfortunately, there are unpleasant situations where their hard work is stolen and used in another studio.<\/p>

    At Kings of Ink, you can be sure that you will receive a custom, personalized design made just for you.<\/strong> We do not use ready-made designs found online, nor do we copy the work of other artists or illustrators.<\/p>

    We often hear questions from clients about why they have to pay so much for a tattoo.<\/p>

    It is worth asking yourself: how much would a pair of shoes have to cost if you were going to wear them for the rest of your life? Let’s face it, on average, we spend 200\u2013300 PLN on a new pair of shoes once a year.<\/p>

    A well-crafted tattoo lasts a lifetime!<\/strong> Additional costs, such as the right concept and composition, are also part of the total price. If we want to proudly show off a tattoo for the rest of our lives, it is definitely worth investing in it properly.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
