Pricing
I believe it's important to be transparent about my pricing so that you can determine if my work is within your budget. Tattoos are a luxury - A piece of permanent artwork on your skin. They are worth saving for when you find the right artist for you.
Prices start at £120 for pre-drawn flash designs, and £150 for bespoke pieces. This is for the first hour of tattooing. Additional time is charged at £120 per hour. Most of my tattoos take between 2 - 4 hours (£240 -£480 for flash designs, £270 - £510 for bespoke designs).
Quotes will always be a range, as it is impossible to determine exactly how long the tattoo will take due to different factors. I will never charge more than the max amount quoted (unless you want the tattoo larger, in which case I will advise you on the cost at start of the appointment).
Quotes include an aftercare package with vegan aftercare balm, and a top-up within 6 months of the appointment date if needed (provided that aftercare advice has been followed correctly).
Top-Ups
If your tattoo needs topping up and you get in touch more than 6 months after your appointment, this will be charged at £30 per 15 minutes. Top-ups usually take no longer than 30 minutes.
If you think you need a top up, please email with clear photos and I will advice on how long I think we'll need. - cathpillingtattoo@gmail.com
Deposits
If I can offer you an appointment, I will email you with a quote. A non-refundable deposit is payable within 72 hours to secure your appointment and design. This is £50 for flash designs, and £100 for bespoke designs.
This is deducted from the total cost of your tattoo. By paying the deposit, you are committing to your appointment date/time, the quote and design request.
This deposit is non-refundable in the event of cancellation or if you do not attend your appointment. Your deposit will also be retained, and a new deposit needed to reschedule if -
-
You provide less than 48 hours notice to reschedule.
-
You reschedule more than twice.
-
You arrive more than 20 minutes late. Please call/text if are running behind.
-
You have applied numbing cream - It makes it very difficult to work with the skin and can negatively affect the outcome of the tattoo.
Thank you for your understanding and respect for my time.
