Inking Tattoos starts from KSh 1,000
At Inking Tattoos, the cheapest tattoo starts at KSh 1,000. That is a starting price for the smallest or simplest work that qualifies; the final price depends on the actual tattoo being discussed.
A tattoo is not one standard product. Two designs that look similar at first can require different amounts of drawing, preparation and tattooing time, so a useful quote still starts with the actual piece.
Size and detail change the amount of work
The physical size of a tattoo matters, but size alone does not determine the price. Fine details, shading, line work and the overall complexity of a design can change how much preparation and tattooing time is needed.
When asking for a quote, give an approximate size and share references that show the level of detail you have in mind.
Placement can affect the session
Where a tattoo sits on the body can influence how a design needs to be shaped and how the artist approaches the work. Tell the artist the intended placement early so it can be considered together with size and design direction.
Custom work includes preparation
A custom tattoo can involve discussion and design decisions before tattooing begins. References are useful for communicating the direction, but the final work still needs to suit the placement, scale and idea being discussed.
A price conversation should therefore consider the work required for the piece rather than only comparing the finished dimensions.
Mobile tattoo sessions need their own arrangement
If you are considering a mobile tattoo session, send your location when asking about the work. Travel and the suitability of the arrangement need to be discussed alongside the tattoo itself.
Jay is based in Limuru and works as a mobile tattoo artist, but mobile availability depends on the location and arrangement. Inking Tattoos does not publish a blanket nationwide travel price.
How to ask Inking Tattoos for a price
Inking Tattoos has a starting price of KSh 1,000, but that does not mean every tattoo costs KSh 1,000. Send Jay your tattoo idea, useful references, approximate size, intended placement and your location if you are asking about a mobile session.
Those details allow the actual work to be assessed and a price to be discussed based on the tattoo involved.
