Pricing and Rates

Setting a price for a tattoo is like asking the proverbial “How long is a piece of string?” There are many factors that will influence the price. Complexity of the tattoo design, size, location on the body are but a few contributing factors.

Therefore, most commonly the price of a tattoo is based on an hourly rate of an artist. These are then set by the artists themselves. For larger work we offer discounted day rates and occasionally artists set a special price for flash designs.

In addition to our tattoo work we also perform body piercing. Our on-site piercing artist is available without prior booking. Please peruse our piercing services performed and related charges.

For artist hourly rates, day deals or special projects pricing, please contact the studio by calling 07 579 0080 or contacting the specific artist.

Minimum Age Policy

YOU NEED TO BE 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER.

Whilst Tauranga Coucil does not stipulate minimum age when it is permissable to get a tattoo, we fly on the side of caution. Bohemian Tattoo Artists subscribe to a voluntary code of practice of the tattoo industry, where it is generally agreed that the minimum age is 18 years. This may be relaxed in extenuating circumstances, such as tribal or cultural reasons. You would need to discuss this with the management of Bohemian Tattoo Arts, prior commencement of any work.
