How tattoo pricing works at Tattoo Manchester
No hidden structure and no quoting by the piece.
The rate is 80 pounds an hour. That covers Emily's time, the drawing done before you arrive, and everything used on the day. A two hour booking is 160 pounds.
Why hourly rather than per piece. Quoting per piece means guessing, and guessing means either overcharging you to be safe or rushing to hit a number. Hourly means the work takes the time it takes and you pay for exactly that.
The subscription. 20 pounds a month builds credit against future work and adds a free hour to your sessions. As a subscriber, a two hour booking at 160 pounds becomes a three hour session for the same money, which is 53.33 an hour instead of 80. It also carries 15 percent off tattoos you book for friends and family.
Eight months of subscribing is 160 pounds, which is exactly a two hour booking, which as a subscriber is a three hour session. That is the maths in one sentence.

What an hour costs, and what the subscription changes
The rate is £80 an hour, flat. Subscribers get an extra hour added to every session, so the money buys more chair time rather than a smaller number.
£160is what you pay either way — and eight months of subscribing is also £160, which is exactly a two hour booking, which as a subscriber is three hours in the chair. That is the maths in one sentence.
Those rates are for time in the chair. The £20 a month sits on top, and it builds as credit against work you book later rather than being spent. If you only want one small piece next month, book a session instead — it will work out cheaper, and Emily would rather tell you that.
Who it is not for. If you want one small tattoo next month, book a session. It will work out cheaper and Emily would rather tell you that than sign you up to something you do not need. The subscription is for people who know there is more than one piece coming.
