Message to studio:
I am planning a 4 inch black and grey tattoo for forearm in Your city. My planning assumption is 2 hours at about $180/hour. Please confirm your studio minimum, estimated sessions, deposit, redraw policy, and final quote.
This is a budget worksheet, not a studio quote. Artist demand, geography, taxes, placement difficulty, redraws, and healing sessions can change the total.
The calculator only organizes rates you provide. Always ask the studio for its own quote, minimum, deposit, taxes, and session policy.
