Many butterfly tattoos are small to medium in size – less than 4 inches in diameter – so should take 2-3 hours depending on the technical details.
With prices averaging out to around $150-$200 per hour for experienced professionals $300-400 including tips is a good place to start for a simple butterfly tattoo.
Large butterfly ink can range from $750-$1000 plus tips, with those on the back or thigh being the largest.
Simple purple designs of outline ink and color will be cheaper than pieces adopting heavier shading or more time-consuming techniques.
