How much would it be for a small tattoo on the forearm?

Answer 1

It varies from artist to artist. Most tattoo shops have a minimum of say $40. IT also is often measured in time. A large back tattoo that takes 60 hours, for example, can run into the thousands. Make sure you ask to see the artists portfolio, make sure the shop looks clean and that the shop has a no drug policy. You don't want someone under the influence of anything working on you. If you suspect the artist is high or drunk go somewhere else. Also word of mouth is always an important factor when choosing your artist. Remember that a tattoo is a lifetime commitment. Take time and really consider what type of art work you want.

Answer 2

Some tattoo parlors have a starting price, (ex. $40-50). Won't matter what you get some tattoo artists do that. But having tattoos myself, I would say a small tattoo with no color could be anywhere from $40-100. Call your local tattooist and ask!

Answer 3

Tattoo artists typically charge by HOUR. Depending on where you live, mine charges around $120 an hour. A name PROBABLY wouldn't take longer than an hour if it was on your arm, assuming that it wouldn't be that big.

Colour sometimes costs extra.

Answer 4

It depends on how big and colorful the tattoo you want is. If it's one that the tattoo artist reccomends then it will cost about $20.00. If its a small one that you have chosen its about $20.00 aswell. My father is a tattoo artist and that's how much he usually has people pay to get one on their hand.
