How much does it cost to get tattooed by any of the LA Ink cast?

Asked by Spargett (5398points) April 1st, 2008

I’ve checked their sites, no actual rates. Curious if anyone knew. I know it’s about a two month wait for a sitting, but again curious about ballpark rates.

The going rate for an established artist is $100 an hour.

I would hope they don’t charge more since i know A LOT of artists who do just as good work(if not better).

But then again you do always pay more for a name brand…

Riser can answer this, I think, he’s popped in there before.

A tattoo artist I know “heard” $400—$500 per hour. I don’t know if this is the cost for an on air spot, which I certainly am not interested in.

I know the place is called “High Voltage Tattoo” and where it is in LA. I just imagine there might be a more realistic rate (if the above is true) when there isn’t a giant “LA Ink” banner over the sign and a film crew circling like bees.
