How much would a tattoo like this cost?

A piece like this is estimated at $1050-$1450. This is an estimate, not a quote — message the studio for an exact price.

How painful is a head & face tattoo?

Head & Face: Noticeable on our 5-step pain scale — thin skin over bone. 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 head & face healing is fast, but sun-exposed, and it is always visible.

How will a tattoo like this age?

Bold outlines and solid black are the styles that age best — the design stays readable even as lines soften slightly over decades. Sunscreen keeps the colour from fading.

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.
