First tattoo? Shops price either by the piece or by the hour — hourly rates run $100–250 depending on the city and the artist's demand, and most shops have a $60–100 minimum no matter how small the design. Bring a government ID: every state requires you to be 18 for a tattoo without parental consent, and reputable shops card everyone.
Common questions
- How much does a tattoo cost?
- Most shops charge $100–250 per hour, and nearly all have a shop minimum of $60–100 that covers needles, ink and setup even for the smallest piece. A palm-size design typically lands at $150–400; half sleeves start around $800–1,500 and run over several sessions. Custom artists in high demand price higher — the portfolio, not the rate, is what you are paying for.
- Can I walk into a tattoo shop without an appointment?
- Many street shops keep artists on rotation exactly for walk-ins — flash designs and small pieces are often done the same day. Custom studios usually work by appointment only, with a consultation first and a deposit that counts toward the final price. Look for the walk-ins badge in our listings, and call ahead: even walk-in shops fill their chairs on weekends.
- How old do you have to be to get a tattoo?
- In every US state you must be 18 to get a tattoo on your own, and shops check photo ID. Some states allow minors to be tattooed with a parent present and written consent, while others ban it entirely regardless of consent — the shop will know the local rule. Piercing rules are looser in many states, but ID and a signed consent form are still standard.
- Do tattoo shops do piercings too?
- Often, but not always — piercing is a separate license and a separate craft. Studios with a dedicated piercer usually offer ears, nose, septum and body piercings with implant-grade jewelry, and their piercing hours can differ from tattoo hours. Our listings mark studios that offer piercing, so check the badge and call for jewelry options before you go.
