The price of a tattoo can range wildly depending on factors like size, colour, style, location, and details. Expect to spend anywhere from $125 to $1500 or more plus tip.
Some of the best tattoo artists in Australia are as follows: Joe Metrix and Beau Parkman of Victims of Ink, Kian Forreal of Authentink, Nat G. of Good Luck Tattoo, and pretty much anyone who works at Dynamic Tattoo in Melbourne.
The general rule of thumb is that you tip 20% on your tattoo, regardless of size and cost. Hence, you should tip at least $200 on a $1000 tattoo.
