How Our Pricing Works
At Midnight Element, we believe in clarity, craftsmanship, and straightforward communication.
Our rate is $125 per hour with a $100 shop minimum, and your final price is shaped by the size, placement, detail, and style of your piece. The guide above provides a reliable average range to help you plan with confidence.
While we do work hourly, we aim to price most tattoos by the piece so you have a clear idea of your investment before we begin. Larger projects—such as sleeves, back pieces, or multi-session designs—are best suited for our half-day and full-day rates, allowing you to settle in and focus on the artwork rather than the clock.
Every tattoo is unique, and these ranges serve as a thoughtful starting point. We can also break larger tattoos into sessions, so you never have to complete everything at once. If you’re working within a budget, we’re happy to plan your project in a way that fits, as long as expectations stay realistic for the size and detail you’re looking for.
If you have a vision in mind, we’re always happy to provide a more precise estimate.
