Tattoo Pricing at Factor Studio

Art That Moves Quickly, Lasts Forever

At Factor Studio, we don’t price tattoos by the hour — because time doesn’t measure meaning.

It doesn’t account for the hours spent sketching and refining, or the precision we bring into each session.

It doesn’t reflect the private, professional, and deeply considered experience that defines our studio — not the walk-in, not the churn.

Our pricing reflects the totality of what we deliver: art, process, and presence — not just time in the chair.

Our pace is refined, not rushed. The design is tight. The execution is precise.
You’re not paying for how long it takes — you’re investing in how it feels, how it heals, and how it stays with you.

How Pricing Works

We use impact-based pricing — meaning your final price reflects the design’s complexity, placement, flow, and finish, not the number of hours you spend in the chair.

🧾 Typical Ranges:

  • Minimalist or Accent Work: $250–$400
  • Statement Pieces: $400–$600
  • Fully Finished Visual Sessions: $650–$850+

Larger or multi-session projects are quoted individually after consult.

Booking Logic

We’ve moved away from rigid, time-block booking.
Instead, when you request a tattoo, we:

  • Review your concept, body placement, and preferred budget range
  • Respond with a confirmed availability window and price estimate
  • Align expectations before your session — no surprises, no guessing

This gives you flexibility without committing to time as the measure of worth. You’ll know what to expect before your session begins — not after it ends.

⚠️ For Returning Clients

If you’ve booked before, you know how efficiently we work.
What may have felt like a steal was, in truth, a mismatch — between output and estimate.
Our system has evolved.
We now price based on what the work becomes, not how long it takes.

This means your quote might feel different — but it reflects the same artistry, speed, and presence you’ve always experienced… now built on a foundation that can grow with you.

What’s Included — No Extra Charge

Every session at Factor Studio includes premium aftercare and comfort features. Because the work doesn’t stop when the needle lifts:

  • Medical-grade second-skin bandage — breathable, transparent, no plastic wrap
  • Healing ointment + foaming soap — hand-picked for tattoo recovery
  • Daily-use balm — keeps your ink vibrant and your skin smooth
  • One complimentary touch-up — within 30 days, if needed
  • Media lounge setup — Netflix, Hulu & more for you or your +1

This is all part of the experience — not an add-on.
You’re here for great work. We make sure everything else matches.
