Pricing depends on size, placement, complexity, color vs blackwork, and the artist. Small flash pieces may have a flat rate; larger work is quoted per project or day.
Process

It depends on the project. Some tattoos are done in one sitting, others in several. We give you an estimate after we validate the design.
Generally yes, within hygiene and space limits. For long sessions we prefer keeping the room calm.
