Bad Mood minimum is the equivalent of €350 (porcelain hearts are all €300)
Designs like cars, portraits, chrome, chairs, etc that require a lot of detail are usually €500 up
Any tattoos (apart from porcelain hearts) on stomach, ribs or neck are starting price 900$ as these take much longer to complete (and when the skin is stretched these almost double in size)
And his Full day rate is €1200-1600 (depending on the city, design, placement on the body)
The amount of the deposit will go towards the final price of the tattoo. The £5 booking fee won't be included in the final price.
Sessions are paid in cash and deposits via bank transfer or Paypal. Other payment methods, can be considered, but check with us first.
You are more than welcome to ask for an estimate or an estimate of the amount of time needed, but note that it remains in any case indicative and does not constitute a commitment by the artist to finish within the time indicated or to charge within the estimate.
Design and execution:
Bookings are approved by the artist based on the project described above. We advise to keep things as open as possible and to be flexible to increase the chances of approval. Once the booking done any change must be notified and may not be approved, designed, and in principle, executed during the session booked.
If additional time is required to complete the piece, more sessions need to be booked. If you are wondering how many sessions you will need, feel free to enquire.
Occasionally, if the discussion and design take more time than usual, the execution might have to take place during a next session. The first session fee covers design and/or execution without distinction. That said, you are also welcome to enquire at the studios when Marty (Bad Mood) might be around and drop by for a quick chat.
