— Tattoo Prices Zürich
How much does a tattoo cost in Zürich?
The honest answer: it depends. A small mini tattoo at Sinkply starts from CHF 150; a large multi-session piece costs several times that. Here we explain how the price is built — so you know what you're paying for before you ask.
How the price is built
Four factors decide what your tattoo costs. No secret surcharges, no hourly trap — just these four:
1 · Size
The bigger the motif, the more surface and time. A mini tattoo on the wrist is done in one sitting; a forearm piece takes several.
2 · Detail
Many fine lines, shading or micro-realistic detail take more time and focus than a simple symbol — even at the same size.
3 · Body area
Ribs, fingers, elbows or knees are more demanding than forearm or calf. That feeds into time and price.
4 · Time
In the end it's about the effort. We work with fixed prices per piece rather than hourly rates — so you know the price up front, not afterwards.
From CHF 150 — and what that includes
Our minimum price is CHF 150. It applies even to very small motifs and covers far more than just the needle: consultation, a design drawn for you, sterile single-use materials, tattooing at the correct skin depth, a second-skin dressing and a free touch-up after 4–8 weeks. No hidden extras.
A detailed overview per discipline is on our prices page.
Why quality has its price
A fine line tattoo stays with you for decades. The price isn't a question of expensive or cheap, but of responsibility: pure fine line specialisation since 2019, clean single-needle technique, hygienic single-use materials and an individual design instead of flash. We save on marketing tricks — not on hygiene or time.
A cheap tattoo is often the most expensive one in the end. Corrections, cover-ups and laser sessions cost many times a clean first pass. That's why we run no discounts and no Black Friday deals — the price is fair and identical all year round.
