How much does a Bald Eagle Descending Extending Curved Talons tattoo cost?
Cost depends on size, complexity, and your artist's hourly rate. Simple designs under 10cm typically run $100 to $300. Larger, more detailed pieces range from $300 to $800 or more. Fine line work often costs more per hour than bold traditional styles because it requires greater technical precision and takes longer per square centimetre of coverage.
