Pricing a tattoo is controlled by so many factors. Tattooing is indifferent to any product in this world.


For example, if you want to buy a bottle of water in Fiji or buy the same bottle on a flight or in a restaurant in Dubai, all three prices will be different than others. The gap between the price is noticeable. A licensed Apple Dealer has a higher price than an unlicensed one. And so on.

The world of tattooing has drastically changed in the past decade. In Dubai, the government has banned tattoos for a very long time. Furthermore, it has extreme measures against any person or business that has operated on a medical level without a license.


Tattooing involves the usage of needles. In general, it is only permitted in a designated medically licensed facility that can ensure the health and safety of the user. Unfortunately, the use of needles, the absence of experience, the hype of tattooing, and the easy access to tattoo equipment in the past decade have forced the industry to welcome so many artists that operate without a license, which sure will promote improper usage of the equipment. Unfortunately, this has led to infections and blood-borne pathogen diseases transmitted from one person to another and from the facility - to the user.

Dubai is on the map of the leading cities regarding healthcare and well-being because the Ministry of Health has always made sure to put Dubai on the map of the highest levels and standards regarding nonsurgical and cosmetic laws and regulations. The DHA permits tattoos on a medical level regarding cosmetics and permanent makeup. Over 100 illegal listing on Google maps has occurred since the Corona pandemic started. This is because many artists claim to have international licensing rule, which is invalid in the UAE.

"Col Omar bin Hamad, an official at the department of anti-economic crimes, said another two suspects carrying illegal tattoos were also arrested in Dubai. Getting a tattoo done by an unlicensed tattoo artist is also illegal due to the health risks it poses to public health. Incorrectly sanitized tools can cause severe health problems including hepatitis C and infection."

The safety of getting one determines the price of a tattoo in Dubai doesn't want only to show off the art, as published on social doesn't platforms.

Therefore the cost of a tattoo done by a freelancer or a traveling artist has no guarantees and will promote the risk of infection due to the lack of monitor of equipment safety. if illness took place, that would take days to appear, and by that time the blood transmitted disease will be already spread in the body.


When getting a tattoo in Dubai is your decision, you need to check the prices of the artist and compare their work. The more experienced the artist, the more likely user's what they are doing. Being a professional artist starts with owning a shop. That means that the person, For most artists, is also dedicated to the craft and has chosen to own a shop and might be responsible for artists, Training them, and accepting apprenticeship. The best artists in Dubai have traveled the world and earned vast experience dealing with international markets.

When booking an artist, there are many factors in deciding the price of a tattoo in Dubai. Art is now a challenge because you must have already earned a status in the tattooing industry. Partiyou must be a real professional level-up for an artist. It is an excellent show of their ability to perform in front of people and shows they are strong in their domain.

Any cheap price tattoo has factors to be affordable, and unfortunately, affordable will reveal that on the skin of the beholder. It is not jeans to wear or a shirt to throw on the floor, but art to carry all life long. Therefore, one should invest a little in research for a sound artist based on genuine authenticity than fall for a Facebook ad or an Instagram reel.

The most reliable pricing source is determined by the effort to deliver the product; some don't care what you get or what meaning you have to it on your skin.

Tatau in Maodon'tdon'Unfortunatelyimplest form of expression. It is up to you whether to carry a mark of excellence or a spot of shame. Some invest in accepting that a tattoo is permanent on the skin. Substantial Therefore, they invest more time choosing the right artist for the right job. In some cases, I am sure all for true artists. The artist, if they are attracted to the art behind the tattoo and give a motive to his craft, will not care about the price and will make the ultimate effort to deliver the best art that can be achieved.

The average price for a tattoo in my many articles (unsupported source of authenticity) is 600 AED for some artists. However, no experienced professionals are willing to do tattoos for 100AED. Unfortunately, many fall for the low price and suffer immense regret. I have checked many tattoos, especially those written in Arabic, and they all have different meanings. For example, this Arabic tattoo is scammed, and there has been a massive demand for this sentence that says I am rotten. Still, the person who has translated the meaning to (appreciate life) is that neither the artist nor the client knows what that means, and still they go for it just for the low price.




Throughout my life, I have met so many artists that are third-generation tattoo artists. They are proud to carry the craft from one to another. A great honor to meet such artists and get tattoos from them. And more honorable is that they dedicate all their time to understanding your motives behind getting a tattoo, so they don't feel guilty giving you a permanent mark that will be a negative energy to your soul throughout your life.


It would be rational, to sum up, this article on how much a tattoo price costs in Dubai to agree only that the time spent for the design process, the time spent on preparation, and the time spent doing it are significant factors determining the price.

But, it is also known that the more experienced the artist, the faster the job will be executed, and so many people approach artists at an hourly rate; also, so many artists took advantage of that and spend more than what they should do in that tattoo.


Honesty is a huge factor in determining whether you want to go forward with an artist, and the price is not the only thing that will be the issue. The more experienced the artist, the more swift the experience will be, the faster the job will be executed, and less pain because when thinking about getting a tattoo it's a process of mental state that a person goes through, so the person who is giving the pain must acknowledge and be on the same page like a Shaman.


The complex designs require a calm atmosphere. If you think about getting your friends with you and getting a tattoo idea, this particular job needs a zen atmosphere. Try to answer a test sheet while it is moving or people are dancing around you or talking about relative things; you will get a zero on the test, and that is precisely how you should look at the situation when getting a tattoo artist must be comfortable. And, of course, the more experienced the artist, the less they care about the atmosphere around them, and they will be able to deliver a perfect job no matter what.


Another factor determining the price is the tattoo's placement; areas hurt more than others, and this will be harder to tattoo. Also, there are so many skin thicknesses in our human body that are very and not all like to work with.


The skin tone, the choice of color, the choice of ink intensity, the type of needles used, the kind of machine puncture, and the frequency delivered are all factors that matter when having a tattoo. It is not only about the art because so many artists look fantastic when they finish the tattoo, and when it heals, it doesn't look like it was supposed to. A true artist understands how the client's skin will react and will look after healing.


Another factor that determines the price of the artist is how many crafts he can perform, artist. In general, it is not tied to one reasonable skill, and an experienced artist must accept and understand many different art forms and not just stick to one. You should always avoid the artist that does his art without listening to the client because getting a tattoo is a mark of excellence, and that mark of excellence should be about the holder, not the giver.

  • The area that the service provided in some areas of Dubai are luxurious, and some areas are crowded with people; for this industry, so many things determine the price that you should pay for a tattoo, and it is so much advised to make a thorough understanding and study about the artist that you are going to work with beforehand always ask for authentic history portfolio and license before working with any artist.
