Good to know

How much does a neo-traditional tattoo cost in the US?
US tattoo studios typically charge between $150 and $250 per hour for neo-traditional work, with specialized artists charging up to $300 per hour. Medium-sized forearm or thigh pieces range from $400 to $900, while full-day sessions or multi-session sleeve work can run from $1,500 to $4,500.

How does neo-traditional differ from traditional American tattoos?
Traditional American tattoos use uniform bold black outlines and a simple primary color palette with bold, simple imagery. Neo-traditional tattooing incorporates varying line weights, complex illustrative shading, and rich color palettes including jewel tones, pastels, and detailed portraits or organic motifs.

What is required during the booking process for a custom neo-traditional design?
Shops usually require a non-refundable deposit of $50 to $200 that applies toward the final price to secure art creation time. Clients should provide 2 to 4 reference photos showing preferred line density, color palettes, and subject placement prior to the initial consultation.
