The reason why tattoos cost so much isn’t because people are greedy. We charge less than other shops for the same work but we have a minimum, just like everyone else.

A small tattoo might cost $50 and a larger one $300. The reasons for this are because we have insurance to pay for and other expenses related to keeping our shop clean and our equipment sterile. If you get a tattoo for $20 from someone in his basement, it’s because he’s not paying insurance (or taxes) and may likely be skimping on sterilization barrier procedures. — and breaking the law by tattooing you outside of a shop, without a license. VERY few Iowa shop licenses are “residential” licenses.
