Tattoo pricing reflects the artist’s skill and demand, the size and detail of the design, and where on the body it sits. Custom, hand-drawn work costs more than flash picked from the wall.
Tattoos are not eligible for health-fund rebates.
Most studios price by the piece or by the hour. A small, simple design may be a flat rate, while larger or detailed work is charged by the hour or by the session.
Tipping is not expected in Australia. You can round up if you want, but the quoted price is what you pay.
