About tattoo rates

I CANNOT predict how much a custom project will cost. PLEASE DON'T ASK. 


[Minimum: The minimum pay requested for hourly sessions, even if the hourly session falls under 2 hours. See 'booking' and 'events' for the current 'minimum', if any. This is implemented when I guest spot, to ensure my host is compensated]

....

....

  • Flat rate: The ONLY time where a predetermined full price is given: Stricly for pre-made designs (Blinks+FLO).

  • Hourly: Rate per hour. The standard for custom pieces. Applies to all sizes, no matter how small or simple.

  • Day-rate: A daily flat rate no matter how much time our session is. Recommended for bigger projects. Only Royal Benefiters can switch between sessions.

  • ALL of the above are LOWER for Benefiters!

Again, please don't ask me cost for anything other than for Blinks (pre-mades).

............

Hourly or Day rate is chosen BEFORE the start of a project and CANNOT be changed. No exceptions.


.Day rate Pros.

  • Potentially pay less than if hourly.

  • Predictable financial planning per session. ('hourly' cannot be predicted)

.Day rate Cons.

  • Potentially pay more than hourly.

  • Same price no matter if projects falls short of a full day (5 hours max).

.............................................


EXAMPLE . A:

if $200/hr, $800/day : 9 hour project over 2 days : 5hr + 4hr = $1,800 ('hour' total) or $1,600 ('day' total)


EXAMPLE . B:

if $200/hr, $800/day : 9 hour project over 3 days : 3hrs each = $1,800 ('hour' total) or $2400 ('day' total)
