FAQ — Tattoo Pricing
How much does a small tattoo cost?
A small tattoo (3–7 cm) typically costs €100–€220 in an average city. Fine line and minimalist designs in major cities can go up to €300+ even for small pieces.
Why does style affect price so much?
Realism and dotwork are time-intensive techniques that require more skill and precision. A realistic portrait can take 3–4x longer than a traditional flash piece of the same size.
Do I tip my tattoo artist?
In most Western countries, tipping 10–20% is appreciated but not required. In the US, 20% is standard. In Europe, tipping is less common but always welcome for exceptional work.
Why is my quote different from the estimate?
Every design is unique. Artists price based on placement, skin tone, your reference images, and how long they expect the session to take. This calculator gives a market range, not a firm quote.
What's the cheapest tattoo style?
Minimalist and traditional tattoos tend to be the most affordable because they use fewer elements and less time. Flash tattoos (pre-designed pieces) are often discounted too.
