When booking, I will provide a price quote for your specific tattoo selection/placement/size, but here's a pricing guide to help you understand my pricing. 

​

1. Deposit: A deposit is required to book any service, and are non-refundable.

•  $50 deposit for a flash tattoo. This goes towards the cost if your tattoo.

• $100 for a custom tattoo ($50 deposit + $50 drawing fee)

•  Free services do not require a deposit to book.​

​

2. Tattoo pricing:​

• I price each tattoo individually and offer a privilege based sliding-scale option.. In response to your booking form, I will provide a price quote with a high and low end. This is how much the tattoo will cost, unless changes are made to the design, even if the appointment  takes longer than expected. Price is based on size/placement, design intricacy, and how long it is expected to take. For multi-session tattoos, the price will be split evenly between sessions. 

• Sliding scale is for those that would usually otherwise lack the access to tattooing because of systemic monetary barriers. Consider paying full price if you are white, cis-gendered, or able-bodied, have a salaried job or generational wealth or are a homeowner. consider paying an amount on the sliding scale of you are a BIPOC, or melanated person, a trans person, disabled or have medical bills that insurance does not cover. 

• I price somewhere in between $100/hr-150/hr, depending on my clients personal situation. Most tattoos take 1.5-4 hours, and are in the range of $200-500. A single session lasts up to five hours, and will cost no more than $850.  

​

3. Free services ; color tests and touch ups

•  Color tests are tiny tattoos for those who want to know which colors suit them best before committing to an entire piece. Color tests are free for melanated folx (session minimum otherwise) who book any color tattoo.

• Touch ups are always free. ​You can always add a touch up to a new tattoo appointment.

​

4. Trades and non-monetary payments:

• It is a goal of mine to live as anti-capitalistically as I can, so in addition to traditional payment methods (cash and electronic transfer), I am open to partial money/trade payments, goods and service trades, and payment plans. 

• Things I am looking to trade for: tattoos, piercings or custom jewelry, tooth gems, professional home cleanings, custom fit metal jewelry, theatrical photoshoots/headshots, "ouid", home goods/services such as furniture, rugs, lamps, professional home cleaning etc., body work such as lymphatic massage or acupuncture, meal kits, grocery store or chewy.com gift cards, tattoo supplies, a bike/motorbike/moped, an unlocked iphone 15max pro or newer, and electronics.

• If you have questions about this, please feel free to email me about it any time at spaceghosttattoo@gmail.com.
