How we estimate pricing

We price based on the work involved, not hype. The goal is a quote you can trust, explained in plain language.

Step 1
01

Size and placement

Areas with more movement or curvature can increase planning time and affect detail choices.

Step 2
02

Complexity

Fine detail, texture, and custom composition require more drawing time and more careful execution.

Step 3
03

Session time

Some designs fit a single session; larger work may be planned across multiple sessions.

Step 4
04

Confirm and book

We confirm an estimate range, timeline, and the artist who best fits the style you want.

To keep the consult efficient, it helps to have a few basics ready. We do not require personal sensitive details.

  • Reference images for style direction (optional)
  • Preferred placement and approximate size
