How long a piece takes

Tommy's sizing guide is the handiest rule of thumb in the building. About 3 by 3 inches and under fits a walk-in or flash day. Most pieces over 3 by 3 need a half day, and anything over 4 by 5.5 inches needs a full day.

For big work he plans five to eight full days for a full sleeve, back, torso or leg, two to three full sessions for a half sleeve, plus a finishing session. Size, placement, detail and color all move the clock, so that's a starting point, not a quote.

Money questions

Why do rates differ between artists?

Every artist sets their own prices and their own way of pricing. Tommy goes by the hour, Joey by the session, the rest quote per piece.

Is the deposit part of the price?

Ask your artist when you book. Joey's policy says that with several dates booked, the deposit goes toward the last one.

Do you take walk-ins?

Wednesdays at the Kankakee studio, 11 AM to 7 PM, $100 minimum.
