What a tattoo costs — and why
Custom tattoo work at my private studio in Kaunas, Lithuania, planned as a project — never as a rushed appointment or a copied image. Here is how pricing works, what is included, and what to expect.
Planned clearly. Priced before the session. Built to heal.
Clear before we begin. No surprise hourly billing.
Every project is estimated before we start. Single-session work is agreed in advance; larger projects are planned by session with a realistic range before we continue. If a piece runs slightly long, I do not rush the result.
Your session includes more than tattooing
The price covers the full process behind a custom tattoo — not only the hours spent with the machine. Built for custom tattoos, realism, micro-realism, symbolic work, and cohesive sleeve and body projects.

- Concept & design preparationA custom design, drawn only for you.
- Placement planningPlanned for how the tattoo sits, moves, and ages on your body.
- Readability built for timeDesigned to stay clear as the tattoo heals, settles, and ages.
- Healed-result focused executionTattooed with the healed result as the priority, not only the fresh photo.
- Healed reviewReviewed and documented as the tattoo settles over time, when needed.
- Complimentary touch-ups within 2 yearsCase by case, when aftercare instructions were followed.

Touch-ups do not cover major design changes, new additions, normal ageing, sun damage, poor aftercare, or changes caused by lifestyle, injury, or skin trauma.
What your project typically costs
Realistic planning ranges, not fixed promises — the final result depends on design, skin response, detail, and how the piece develops session to session. Your session plan and estimate are agreed before we begin.

A tattoo doesn’t end when the session ends. It has to heal, settle, and still look intentional years later.
I don’t make the cheapest version of an idea. I make the version with the best chance of healing well, fitting the body naturally, and ageing beautifully. If you want the cheapest possible tattoo, I’m probably not your artist — if you want a carefully planned custom piece designed around the healed result, this is exactly what my process is built for.
