Tattoos are becoming increasingly popular, and according to experts, this trend will only continue. That being said, you still have to consider the cost of getting a tattoo. The size of the tattoo, the number of colours chosen for the tattoo, and the body part on which you are getting the tattoo done are all factors that can increase or decrease its price tag.

Factors that affect the cost of your tattoo.

Tattoos are a popular form of body art. Tattoos can be expensive, however, depending on a few factors. The size of the tattoo, the number of colours chosen for the tattoo and the body part on which you are getting the tattoo done will determine how much it costs.

  • Tattoo Size: A small or medium-sized tattoo is going to cost less than a large one because more time is spent in creating each element like letters and symbols, etc.
  • The number of Colours Chosen: If you choose black ink only instead of colouring up your image with multiple colours then it will cost less money as compared to getting all types available to store (black, white and grey).
  • Location Where You Get Your Tattoo Done: Getting a tattoo on your shoulder or back means that you will spend less money because there isn’t any space left at all when done this way but if someone chooses an area such as arms or legs then they’ll have ample room available so there won’t be any problems either!

How profitable is the tattoo industry?

Good news for tattoo artists: you can make more money doing tattoos in South Africa. The average tattooist in South Africa makes over $50 000 USD per year. That’s pretty good!

The industry is growing fast as well—at the moment, there are over 2 300 registered tattoo studios across South Africa and almost 11 000 registered artists. This means that there are plenty of opportunities to become a professional tattoo artist if that’s what you’re interested in doing!

Tattoos are a popular form of body art but tattoos can also be expensive depending on a few factors.

Tattoos are a popular form of body art, but tattoos can also be expensive depending on a few factors. The tattoo artist you choose will determine how much your tattoo costs. Some artists charge more than others. A professional, experienced artist will usually charge more than someone new and just starting in their career as a tattoo artist.

The type of ink used is another factor that affects the price of your tattoo: some inks are more expensive than others and some shops have a line of custom-made inks they use only for their customers. The size of the area being covered also plays into how much money you’ll spend on your new body art because larger areas cost more than smaller ones do (and sometimes coverings can get big). Finally—and perhaps—the location where you want to get it done will impact its price as well; certain places like New York City or Tokyo are going to cost more money than say… South Africa!
