What do tattoo artists charge for tattoos?

Answer
Tattoo charges will vary around the world, and the level of the artist. For the most part, they will charge by the hour. I have seen as low as $65 an hour and as high as $450 an hour with a $1000 minimum (tv show special rate). Some artist will charge based on size or complexity, and I have even seen some charge based on a square inch cost. Average across the US is roughly $125 an hour with a $60 minimum. Keep in mind though, that this is something that is on your body for the rest of you life. Make sure the money you are spending is worth the art work. I believe that it was Gil Monte said once, that a good tattoo isn't cheap, and a cheap tattoo isn't good. Granted, this was coming from a tattoo artist that charges $285 an hour with the $1000 minimum at the seatle convention in 2006, but his work is well worth it...How much would a full coloured half sleeve tattoo cost it is very detailed and goes from the top of the shoulder to the elbow?
It all depends on what you want as far as color or black and gray. Most tattoo places charge by the hour and prices differ from artist to artist. Good tattoos are not cheap and cheap tattoos are not good. Best thing to do is find which artists work you like for the type of tattoo you want and then discuss pricing.
Is a tattoo artist a graphic designer?
Some of them are...there are guys who do "custom work" meaning they both draw and tattoo, and there are "flash artists" who tattoo well but can't draw.

The graphic staff draws up the art for the customer, then hands it off to the tattoo staff for execution.
How much do tattoo artists get paid a year?
Tattoo artists get paid by the tattoos they do. They are "independent" meaning that they charge according to the tattoo.

So, what they make is determined by how much they work, how good their work is…
How much do kanji tattoos cost?
As anyone will tell you, it depends on the individual artist or parlor. Most artists charge a rate for x amount of letters, plus a lower charge per extra letter. For instance, my last tattoo artist charged $30 for five letters, plus $10 for every extra letter. This applied to kanji, as well. However, if the kanji is highly stylized or very large, I imagine that it might count as a non-letter tattoo, in which…

So to each his/her own. If you want a tattoo get it, get exactly…

Promotion opportunities for tattoo artist?
None, unless you can afford to buy the shop. A lot of jobs are like that--you can call them "dead end" jobs, but I prefer to think of them as "starting out at the top." In tattoo, there are apprentices and permitted artists. Once you're permitted to tattoo, you'll find the shop owner is at the top of the heap, and all the permitted artists are one step below that person. Some shops have a…
