Tattoo Pricing
Every tattoo at Golden Octave is custom, and every piece receives the same care and attention to detail. Because of that, we do not use a one size fits all price list. Here is how pricing works at our St. Pete studio.
Every artist sets their own rate
Each artist at Golden Octave sets their own rate based on their experience and style. Your price depends on your artist and on the size, placement and complexity of your design. Our shop minimum is $100. For groups of 3 or more getting smaller designs, the minimum is $80 per person.
Options for every budget
Our newer artists and apprentices create quality work they are proud of at a lower price. If you are working with a smaller budget, they are a great option, and they bring the same care to every piece.
Free consultation and an accurate quote
Custom tattoos begin with a free in person consultation. We talk through the meaning, size, placement and style of your piece, and your artist can give you an accurate quote.
Deposits and Design Fees
Deposits and any design fees vary by artist and by project. Your artist will go over them with you at your free consultation. Deposits are generally non refundable.
Payment
Cash is always preferred. Card payments are accepted with a 3% fee. Some artists also accept Zelle, Venmo or Cash App; please confirm with your artist before your appointment that your preferred method is available.
Pricing questions
Why can't you give me a price online?
Every tattoo is custom, and every artist sets their own rate. Size, placement, detail, color and how long the piece will take all shape the final price, so a quote without seeing your idea would only be a guess. A free consultation lets your artist give you an accurate quote.
What is the minimum?
Our shop minimum is $100. For groups of 3 or more getting smaller designs, the minimum is $80 per person.
Are there lower priced options?
Yes. Our newer artists and apprentices create quality work they are proud of at a lower price, a great option for smaller budgets.
