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.
