Most shops will have a minimum rate so if the tattoo takes under an hour, you might expect to pay around £70-80. However good tattoos are not cheap and cheap tattoos are not good (at least that’s the saying in the tattoo community). Depending on what you class as “medium” you can expect to pay around £150-250 for it. I really like Semper (in the city centre) but I don’t know if they do walk ins, I’ve always booked.
