They mean out the gate. After a consult and you and your artist work out a solid design. I believe price can be discussed. If they have a problem with it they are pretentious. Yeah "art" shouldn't have a price but no tattoo artist this channel features would go beyond their means so don't get too discouraged about asking

Normally, I'd agree. Once the piece has been drawn up, you should be able to get a rough idea, give or take $100. But for a sleeve? There's no way to accurately give an estimate. I'm about 90% done a half sleeve, and each of the pieces were close, but off slightly. Over the course of a whole sleeve, Im sure it'd change a lot

Because it's not something you ask as the first thing, because a) it's literally impossible to say before discussing the design and the size and b) it comes off super disrespectful, because it says you only care about the price, not the actual work. AFTER you have discussed what you would like with the artist, discuss the design and placement a bit, then of course you can ask (respectfully) how much do they think it could cost you, because that is something you need to know eventually. And it's also fine to say "oh, sorry, that's a bit more expensive than I thought, I don't have enough right now" and most artists are very understanding if you want to postpone getting the tattoo.

Pashe Yvonne most will say how much they charge hourly and go from there. Ive had some that said hey that will be a four hour tattoo abd it ends up being six thats not my fault and hell not even theres just shit happens and itll take longer if the artist is a troll he will say oh it took loner than i thought here pay me 650 for it when i only brought 450 in cash but if he is a genuine person hed understand that charging me for those extra hours is kind of shallow knowing we had a confirmed price. Even then i still always bring in more then what the tattoo is anyway atleast by like 150 over

MegaSkilla with my tattoos I get estimates sometimes it’s cheaper other times more expensive you can ask after they really see sizing and figure if it needs color black and grey and such

I second this

Same

dats y i just follow them in instagram and in the future I know which one to pick

That's a really good idea! I agree

They are both amazing google theM

If you come in for a consult and work out a solid design with your tattoo artist first. Price can be discussed ofc. I don't think you have to pay everything at once either. Just in segments.

Mizu O. I think they are talking about people who are looking for a fixed price. Plus depending if you want more large medium or small tattoos and what you want to fill in space in between and how they blend together is a huge long process that should be talked in length and price should not be the main or first question asked.

I think they mean don't just come in and ask how much is a sleeve lol. Cause its varies depending on what you want to get. Once they know what you want, then they can give you a better idea about price.

Most artists have an hourly rate. Once you start getting pieces of the sleeve done, you'll get an idea of the total cost. Its impossible to figure out how long it'll take until you get going. I had a piece done that we figured 4 hours, and it was closer to 6. Its about 45% of my forearm. So if it fluctuates that much for the whole arm, that could be like a difference of almost 6 hours for the whole job. That's a huge difference.

They literally only mean that it is IMPOSSIBLE to estimate a sleeve before you have the design in place. That's not just for a sleeve - that goes for any tattoo. But sadly there are a lot of people who don't really care what they get, and will ask up front "how much you do tattoos for?", when it's a) not possible to say until you've got the design, size and placement down and even then it's a ballpark number at best, and b) that's just disrespectful if the first and only thing you even care about it is the price.

There's been dozens and dozens of these videos. Pretty sure Inked has a couple alone, so they probably left out things that have been said over and over. I almost didn't bother with this because it's ANOTHER dos and don'ts video, but it was actually decent, with some fresh content.

Because they cut the interview they don't put everything

Or the fact that it makes your judgement and decision making skills impaired.. Nope, it's about how they move so much.. Mkay

I think it just about money in my opinion

Paul W don’t be fooled by that dumb bs line. I’ve been to conventions and some of my best brightest colored tattoos I have got while drunk.

i did command F to find this

@@ericaa.8400 I was searching for it too😭😭🤣

I waited years to get tattooed for this same reason. I had no idea how much it would cost. Now I have 3 so I feel like I finally can est on my own pretty good and know what i'm willing to pay.

If you have a budget you should tel them beforehand

Everyone I go to charges by the hours and ive gotten a lot of tattoos so where I'm from about 100$ an hour is fair or if it's an apprentice $75 an hour

I once was getting a tattoo and this couple who had no tattoo walked in and they were talking to an apprentice and she was going to tattoo a six letter word on him for 200$. I felt bad for them

Come to eastern Europe. Awesome artists for A LOT LESS.

no

I can confirm as well, she is beautiful

i thouth id miss heard hahah

I heard crack but I wasnt sure if she said when she smoked crack as in admitting she smoked crack an got it then or that it was next to her crack. 😂😂😭

Autumn Jean i thought she said when she smoked crack to 😂

Yo that cracked me up lmao Buh Dum Tss

THAT'S. NOT. HOW. IT. WORKS! They come up with a plan and give you an estimate after you've discussed what you want, how much space you wanna cover etc.

No the thing that we explain is that on a larger scale project it's very hard to give an estimate that's gonna be accurate and people wants exact number and it's impossible number of time I said about 2000 and it end up being more 3500 and people get very mad

I've gotten several tattoos from the girl on the left, Alisha Gory, and that's not how it works. You have a consult, they review your idea and they either tell you their hourly rate and how many hours they think it will take them, or they just give you a price for the project. With Alisha, she's always hit the nail on the head for how long it would take her, or she ended up doing it faster than quoted.

Hunter Carney afterwards Me: I got you a dollar

Sabrina Nolan most want a ballpark range. You can normally guess about how long it may take and you can always disclaim that the estimate may be more or less and I will keep you updated as we go.

Isla Gurney might come off as weird but it’s kinda cool seeing an asian woman with thick hair! I have thick hair but I usually see girls with thin hair.

@@brooklynbound0 I live in an Asian country with lots of people from different parts of Asia and most of us have thick hair. It might be an area thing?

@Sexy Girl RUDE? LMAO F OFF he wasn't any rude wtf...

@@brooklynbound0 I could not stop staring at her hair!! Damn those are some thick locs!!

@Sexy Girl Um just because I said one of them is beautiful does not mean I was saying the other girl was ugly or anything. Complimenting one person isn't putting other people down fuck off out of here with your negativity...

the girl with pink hair yea , the other girls piece looks like something i wouldn't even keep in my sketchbook

@@lowek7773 it looks like a butt in a thong

@@lowek7773 haha I would not like that on my skin neither but it's well done, symmetrical and prolix

I lalalalaveee the rose chest piece it's so beautiful.

The chick with the black hair has the best chest.

It's a few out there, but most apprenticeships you WILL end up getting tattoos lol.

Donovan Lankford thanks, and lol, but if i did end up someone with no tattoos, would i be ridiculed if i was also a tattoo artist?

It's generally frowned upon

Selene oof. Thanks for ur feedback tho

E.g on Inkmaster there was a guy with no tattoos and Oliver Peck kept on insisting he should get tattooed to be respect as a tattoo artist. An acquaintance of mine worked at a tattoo shop as a piercer and his boss, who was a tattoo artist, had no tattoos. All his employees found it odd and didn't take him seriously...

I'm assuming you dont live in America, judging by the amount you had to pay. A medium sized tattoo is the price of a fucking car here

LillyyHD depends where you go, there are plenty of reasonably priced very talented tattooers where I’m from

My tattoo artist did all of my dad's tattoos in the last years of his life, I got about 1/3 of my thigh covered with a blacked out Raven for 200 before tip, very beautiful. I think relationships can be important here. Also from the US

@@meltedcrayons5729 one tattoo cost me $250. But he's on my thigh for forever so it's worth it a sleeve would be thousands of dollars I think.

@@meltedcrayons5729 it's someone's artwork that's going to be on you forever. If you're going to a shitty scratcher with a tattoo machine charging for good artist rates I understand but good artists should charge what they charge. They're making a living doing this and it's not an easy skill. It's pricey but what isn't that lasts forever?

They mean not asking about it up front. A tattoo is not a ready-made pair of jeans. It's more like very specific jeans you want designed for you. You can't estimate a price of a tattoo before discussing the size, placement and design. At best they can tell you their hourly rate, but that's going to be worth diddly-squat, because if they don't know what you want to get done, they can't tell you how long it might take. AFTER you've discussed the design and everything, of course it's fine to ask how long it might take and how much it might cost you, because you need to know if you can afford it. But even then, you need to keep in mind it's a ballpark guess at best, especially for multiple-session projects like a sleeve - how long it takes not only depends on the level of detail of the design and the size, but also how well you sit during the tattoo, how much you bleed, etc. For example, if you have a low pain tolerance or unintentionally move around a lot, that's going to slow it down. If you're someone who naturally bleeds more, that might make it more difficult for the artist to see what's going on, so that might slow it down. So you're never going to get a fixed price on something like that, even less so if that's the first thing you ask with no context.

Squishy Muffin they dont say that it is always going to be a surprise. But it is so strange to ask a price without even talking about the tattoo, the size the design etc etc. affffter you can ask about an estimate

It’s when people are really vague. How much for a wolf tattoo? Ok where? How big? What style/color? How much for a sleeve? Ok well a sleeve with all realism is gonna cost like 300% more then just an all tribal all black design. When your very specific and when you and your tattooist/tattoo artist decide something very specific they’ll give you a very close estimate. But you’ll want to be flexible because if you set a price they’re likey to play it safe with that price they might rush it might take longer then expected then it’ll go over their price range. They may make it smaller or add less detail for the same reason. Just plan on spending allot if you have $700 to your name don’t expect a sleeve in one visit or it’ll look like shit. I’d have at least a half a G to spend to get a single tattoo the size of soft ball. At LEAST G for a half sleeve of something simple. But that all depends on the artists skill, experience and simply what they choose to charge. It’d be like me going to where you work and saying how much would it cost to get me down to 25% body fat. Wouldn’t you want to know how hard I work? How many hours in a week I’m willing to put in. What my current body fat is? What kind of diet changes I’m willing to do. Even with that knowledge would you be able to give me a realistic estimate? Bleeding and how you sit for that tattoo would be like me going on a binge one day. You just don’t know how it’s all going to play out. Sorry that was long. I wanted to describe it well and genuinely. Have a great day!

You know beforehand how many hours you'll spend with your client, so you can give a fixed price. It's closer to someone sending an email to you and asking how much is it for them to get fit. No details on what they consider "fit", no information on their past or present health, not even a picture of how they look now, they just want to know how much does it cost to get fit. While you might have ideas already that work for a lot of people to get started, tattoo artists don't even have that luxury.

I don’t think it’s asking the price exactly it’s more so trying to bargain the price I mean that would piss me off. If I was an artist and you wanted a price after I see what you want cool but if you try to low ball the price that’s not cool.

Hahaha

I'm currently an apprentice for tattooing and piercing and its dope so far. Sucks but dope. Good luck

They do, and they are usually called assholes behind their back if not to their face and not welcomed back.

money

@@inactive2447 that's not a good reason

MuzamilofKrypton it is

@@johnathanmiranda9065 so i should deal some drugs and run some women just for thr moneyz. Doing something while you know someone isnt in their right mind and you know that them being intoxicated will cause problems just for the money is ridiculous.

Because maybe some artists don't care enough

catsandflowercrowns 1 depends on what your artist says is a full day. My guys hasn’t really gone past 4 hours at a sit

I always do full days. 8 hours. One break. The first half of the day is fine but the second half can be rough. You’re all out of endorphins, you’re starting to swell and bleed at every new line, you’re tired so it hurts more. I would recommend lots of liquids and sugary drinks with electrolytes to replenish how much liquid you’re gonna lose. Also plan to feel physically shitty for at least a week and depending on the area, unable to live life normally. It’s a lot of trauma. For instance I did both my shins one day and my ankles got so swollen for almost two weeks I had trouble walking or even sitting without elevating my feet.

Get a good nights sleep and eat a good meal before and just be relaxed as possible. Try and not take too many breaks because my ads to the pain in the long run and be mindful what you doing the few days after. I had a thigh piece go to 7 hours and I couldn't even put weight on it without it hurting.

Lots of sleep before hand eat a big meal beforehand not too close to appointment time of course and bring a couple Gatorades or Powerades to drink during and try and take as few breaks as possible everytime you start back up its gonna hurt more

Oh and make sure to wear extra deodorant and alot of times i will bring some with me and reapply during a lunch break bc i sweat alot during long tattoos sessions

why would i be forced to like her? if i like only one i will like just that one.

I love her voice! And she is very pretty 😍

criticalhard no ones forcing you. However in my opinion the blonde is beautiful too, and I noticed few ppl were saying it.

Not enough to learn her name though?

It's the nipple.

That’s why you have consultation sessions, planning is everything

Exactly what I do

sickk. may i ask what you got inked?

Have you ever thought, you know that just maybe there's the slightest possibility they just like it. Like you to question it's the dumbest shit ever

@@dom0711 no need to be rude. I'd have asked the same question because I an very curious

I'm thinking either insecurities or bragging rights

@@dom0711 maybe you should learn to be polite to others?

@@Selene666 ??? You guys are the ones that need to be polite, judging people for the tattoos that they have, just cause you are scared of the idea of someone getting a tattoo on their genitals doesn't mean it's wrong of it's some fetish thing, learn to be respectful and tolerant, also be open minded for God sake, stop the ignorance

___pphh yeah but the tattoo artists always put their own style into it so it’s not like they are copying the tattoo. That’s what my tattoo artist did cause I got a snake with roses off of Pinterest. It’s the same idea but completely different style

So you're saying roses are stolen too? I seen so many roses.

Unknown no. Something like roses is just a generic thing that anyone can do bc a Rose is a real normal thing. But if the image you took off Pinterest is super unique, that’s different.

honestly, that sounds amazing

Nah, she’s thinking of me bro haha
