Tattoo prices in Delhi
No guessing, no surprises. Here’s how tattoo pricing actually works in Delhi — by size, style and what to watch out for.
Pricing by size
These are honest ranges — your final quote depends on detail, placement, and style. WhatsApp us with a reference image for an exact number.

|---|---|---|---|
| Tiny (under 1 inch) | Small symbol, initial, minimal icon | ₹2,000 – ₹3,500 | Minimum charge applies regardless of complexity |
| Small (1–3 inches) | Script, small animal, floral | ₹3,500 – ₹8,000 | Fine line / micro-realism in this range |
| Medium (palm-sized) | Portrait, sleeve element, detailed floral | ₹8,000 – ₹20,000 | Style and shading complexity drive price |
| Large (A4 or bigger) | Back piece, full sleeve element, chest panel | ₹20,000 – ₹60,000+ | Multi-session work; quoted per session or total |
| Full sleeves / back pieces | Full arm, full back | Custom quote | Priced per session (typically ₹15,000–₹25,000/session) |
How style affects price
Fine line
Delicate single-needle work. Time-intensive for small pieces; the precision drives the price up more than the size.
Micro-realism
Tiny photorealistic work. Among the most technically demanding styles — price reflects the skill required.
Black & grey
Classic shading work. Priced by size and detail level. Generally more affordable than colour for equivalent size.
Traditional / neo-trad
Bold lines, solid fills. Faster to execute than fine line — so often slightly more affordable per square inch.
Cover-ups
Covering an existing tattoo requires a custom approach and typically costs 1.5–2x a fresh piece of the same size.
Colour work
Colour saturates differently on different skin tones — we discuss what works best for yours. Takes longer than B&G.
What affects the final quote?
Beyond size and style:
Placement. Ribs, hands, feet, and neck take longer because of movement and skin texture. Flat areas (outer arm, thigh) are quicker.
Your reference. Highly detailed references cost more than a clean, minimal brief. We adapt your idea into what works best for the medium.
Custom design vs flash. Custom designs (drawn specifically for you) include design time. Walk-in flash designs are priced differently — ask us what is currently available.
A note on cheap tattoos in Delhi. Studios offering ₹500 walk-in specials cut corners somewhere — usually on pigment quality, needle freshness, or artist time. A ₹500 tattoo that fades in 6 months costs more to fix than a ₹4,000 one that lasts a lifetime.
Good to know
How much does a small tattoo cost in Delhi? A tiny piece (under 2 inches, minimal detail) starts at ₹2,000 at Burrnink Studio. Fine line and micro-realism tiny pieces run ₹3,000–₹5,000 because the precision takes longer.
Is there a minimum charge? Yes — ₹2,000. This covers hygiene setup, needles, and the artist’s time regardless of how small the piece is.
Do touch-ups cost extra? Touch-ups within 3 months are typically free if aftercare instructions were followed. After that, a small fee may apply.
Do you take a deposit? Yes — a small deposit holds your slot. It is applied to your final price.
