What affects the price in Milan?

Style & complexity

Realism, Japanese and dotwork take far longer than minimalist or traditional flash, so they cost the most.

Size & session length

Most artists charge by the hour or a day rate for big work. Bigger pieces mean more sessions.

Artist & studio

Milan studios with long waitlists and award-winning artists charge a premium for their time.

Colour & placement

Full colour needs more passes; hands, ribs, feet and necks are slower and trickier to tattoo.
