What affects the price in New York?
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
New York 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.
