How Much Does a Tattoo Cost in Toronto?

Tattoo pricing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and that’s a good thing. It means you get a custom piece of artwork that fits your style, size, and budget. At 46 Tattoo in Toronto, we offer transparent pricing and flexible options whether you’re looking for something small and simple or large-scale custom work.

Here’s what to know before booking.

Our Pricing Structure

We charge $150–200/hour for custom tattoos, depending on the artist. For smaller pieces or flash designs, we offer flat rates based on size and complexity.

This gives you the freedom to choose what fits best without surprises. If you’re not sure what category your tattoo falls under, send us a reference and we’ll give you an estimate upfront.

What Affects the Cost of a Tattoo?

Tattoo prices vary based on a few key factors:

Size

Larger pieces take more time, but even small tattoos can be intricate depending on the detail involved. Generally speaking, the bigger the tattoo though, the more it will cost.

Complexity and Style

We specialize in several styles:

• Black and Grey Realism

• Fine Line
  

• American Traditional
  

• Traditional Japanese

• Illustrative

• Anime and Games

• Script

Each style has its own technical demands and time requirements. Some styles are inherently more complex, such as black and grey realism, and some styles like script can be very simple, to very complex. The best way to know is to give us a shout.

Placement

Some areas like ribs, hands, or neck may take longer due to skin texture or sensitivity. That can affect both the overall time and the price.

We Work With Your Budget

Not everyone wants a full-day session. We’re always open to working within your budget, whether that’s a one-hour flash, a multi-session sleeve, or something in between.
