1st : Size of the Tattoo :
Size is the first factor to freeze the price of a Permanent Tattoo . Small size tattoo will cost less and price increase as size. Setup cost is on first square inch, which is to cover the material cost.
In India, almost all studios charge by size and not on hourly basis. All Tattoo Artist clearly discuss price of tattoo with clients before starting the work. Call 8800787988 Goodness Tattoo Studio in Delhi for peice quote.
2nd : Design of the Tattoo :
Design of a tattoo can also change the price. Same size tattoo with difference in designs can cost different.
Best is if the artist can have a look on design before quoting the price.

3rd : Expertise of a Tattooist :
Tattoo is a permanent change to the body. An expert artist, who has the capability, can really make a difference in the quality of the Tattoo. No good artist, after using good quality products in India will give a good Tattoo below the price of Rs 1500 (year 2015). Also remember, its not about saving money, its more about to carry a piece of art for rest of the life.

Your efforts in working a design before visiting an artist, in order to reduce the time and efforts of studio to start your tattoo.
With our personal experience and almost all good tattooist we met in past 5 years, no Tattoo Artist like to negotiate the Tattoo Price. A responsible Tattoo Artist always gives a reasonable price to the customer and do not expect or like to drag the discussion on price.
For an artist, best way to quote the price is to take a printout of your design in desired size and then give the price.
