Start with the piece, not the clock.
A small, simple tattoo can be very different from a large, detailed piece. The style, amount of linework, color and placement all affect how long the session may take.
What changes the estimate?
- The size and shape of the tattoo.
- The amount of detail, shading or color.
- The placement and how comfortably the area can be worked.
- Whether the piece is new work or a coverup.
Bring the useful details.
When you contact the shop, share the idea, approximate size, placement and any reference material. Those details make a timing conversation more useful.
Keep the next step simple.
If you are still deciding, start with the style list or official portfolio, then reach out to Manny’s in South Phoenix.
