About this dataset
TatScout collected price data from Q1 2026 by (1) emailing artists in our network directly for their current rate cards, (2) scraping publicly listed prices from 500+ studio websites, and (3) cross-referencing community forums and booking platform data. Prices are reported in EUR using 90-day average exchange rates. All figures are medians, not averages, to reduce the influence of outlier celebrity artists.
The dataset covers 6 cities (Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles), 6 styles, and 4 size tiers, yielding 144 price rows. Sample sizes per row range from 3 to 12; rows with n ≤ 4 should be treated with caution. Full methodology →
