How to use these tattoo planning tools

Getting a tattoo is a permanent decision, and a little planning goes a long way. The price estimator helps you set a realistic budget by reflecting the factors artists actually charge for; the time calculator gives an approximate session length so you can plan your day or anticipate multiple sittings; and the pain chart helps you choose placement and set expectations, especially for a first piece. Use them to arrive at your consultation informed and prepared.

These tools provide general guidance only. The accurate price, timing and approach for your specific tattoo can only come from a consultation with the artist who will do the work, based on your design, placement and skin. Always prioritise a skilled, hygienic professional over the lowest price. Read more in our tattoo guides.
