DAY RATE TATTOO INFO.

What is a day rate tattoo?
A day rate is a flat fee for a full day of tattooing. Instead of pricing by the hour or by piece, you reserve the artist’s time for the day to focus entirely on your project.


Who is a day rate best for?
Day rates are ideal for:
• Large tattoos
• Multi-area or flowing designs
• Ongoing projects (sleeves, cover-ups, detailed work)
• Clients who want a relaxed, un-rushed session
If your project fits this category, I’ll recommend a day rate during booking.


What’s included in a day rate?
A day rate includes:
• Custom design time
• A full day tattoo session
• Breaks as needed
• Focused, one-on-one work
It does not guarantee a specific amount of tattooed area — progress depends on the design, placement, and how your body responds.


How long is a “day”?
A day rate typically covers a full working day, including setup, tattooing, breaks, and wrap-up. Exact hours may vary depending on the project and how the session unfolds.


Is a day rate cheaper than hourly?
Sometimes, but that’s not the purpose. Day rates are about:
• Efficiency
• Creative flow
• Comfort
• Reduced pressure to rush
It’s about the experience and focus, not speed.


Do I need a deposit?
Yes. A non-refundable deposit is required to secure a day rate booking and is applied toward your total.


Can we stop early?
Yes. If we finish earlier than expected or need to stop, the day rate still applies. The time is reserved exclusively for you.

What if we don’t finish the tattoo?
That’s completely normal for larger work. Additional sessions can be booked as needed — either as another day rate or a different pricing option, depending on the project.


Can I book multiple day rates?
Yes. Multi-day or recurring day-rate bookings are available for large projects and are planned in advance.
