How much would a tattoo like this cost?

A piece like this is estimated at R7700-R10500. This is an estimate, not a quote — message the studio for an exact price.

How painful is a ribs & side tattoo?

Ribs & Side: Brutal on our 5-step pain scale — thin skin over bone, and breathing moves the skin. Pain is personal, and long sessions, stress and bleeding make it feel worse.

How long does it take to heal, and will people see it?

The surface usually looks healed in 2–4 weeks; the skin keeps settling for a few months. On the ribs & side healing is moderate (clothing friction), and it is easy to cover.

How will a tattoo like this age?

All tattoos soften slightly over the years as the skin renews itself and the sun breaks pigment down. Size, placement and sun protection matter more than the style name.

Can I get this exact design?

Use it as a reference. Most artists adapt a design to your body and their own style rather than copy another person’s tattoo line for line — and if you want this artist’s look, the best option is to book this artist.
