I believe it's important to be transparent about my pricing so that you can determine if my work is within your budget. Tattoos are a luxury - A piece of permanent artwork on your skin. They are worth saving for when you find the right artist for you.

 

Prices start at £120 for pre-drawn flash designs, and £150 for bespoke pieces. This is for the first hour of tattooing. Additional time is charged at £120 per hour. Most of my tattoos take between 2 - 4 hours (£240 -£480 for flash designs, £270 - £510 for bespoke designs).

​

Quotes will always be a range, as it is impossible to determine exactly how long the tattoo will take due to different factors. I will never charge more than the max amount quoted, unless you want the tattoo larger, in which case I will advise you on the cost at start of the appointment.

 

Quotes include an aftercare package with vegan aftercare balm, and a top-up within 6 months of the appointment date if needed, provided that aftercare advice has been followed correctly. Please note: complimentary top-ups are not included for finger tattoos.

​

Top-Ups

​

If your tattoo needs topping up and you get in touch more than 6 months after your appointment, or if you need a top-up for finger tattoos, this will be charged at £30 per 15 minutes.

​

If you think you need a top up, please email with clear photos and I will advise on how long I think we'll need.  - hello@cathpilling.co.uk

 

Deposits

​

Deposits are £50 for flash designs, and £100 for bespoke designs. This is deducted from the total cost of your tattoo. By paying the deposit, you are committing to your appointment date/time, the quote and design request.

​

This deposit is non-refundable in the event of cancellation or if you do not attend your appointment. Your deposit will also be retained, and a new deposit needed to reschedule if -

 

• You provide less than 48 hours notice to reschedule.

• You reschedule more than twice.

• You arrive more than 20 minutes late. Please call/text if are running behind.

• You have applied numbing cream - It makes it very difficult to work with the skin and can negatively affect the outcome of the tattoo.

• You are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding. I will not be able to tattoo you if any of these apply.

 

Thank you for your understanding and respect for my time.
