How Pricing Works
Your tattoo cost is based on the time it takes to complete the work. To help you plan, I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation before booking your appointment so we can go over the details together. Keep reading for tips and visuals on estimating the total cost of your piece, and be sure to check out the shop policy before booking.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO COMPLETE MY TATTOO?
SIZE & DETAIL
The size of your tattoo and the complexity of details (like fine lines, intricate patterns, or shading) all affect how much time it will take to complete your piece.
PLACEMENT
Where your tattoo is placed can affect how long it takes. Areas with more curves or intricate contours may need extra attention, which can extend the overall time for your piece.
COLOR
Multicolor tattoos take longer than black and gray, but since color is Amy’s specialty, you can expect an expertly shaded, vibrant piece.
If you're looking to investment in a beautifully colored tattoo, you're in the right place!
TOLERANCE
Your body’s tolerance can affect how long a tattoo takes. Everyone’s pain threshold and sensitivity in certain areas are different, which can influence the pace of the session.
