Tattoo Policy & Price Guide

The prices listed on this page serve as a general guide for  tattoo services  and may not reflect the final amount you will be charged for your tattoo. Our pricing is based on many factors such as local competition, special event pricing, individual artist skill level, and costs of operations and materials. Because our reputation and trust is important, the final price agreement will be made with your artist before you begin the tattoo process.

Shop minimum for tattoos is $75. 

Our Hourly Rate is $125. 

We offer discounted rates for full day and half day sessions as well as for Veterans, Service Members and First Responders.

Consultations with artists are free by appointment and are encouraged.

Deposits are required to schedule an appointment.

Deposits are non refundable.

Walk-ins are welcome. Walk-ins are subject to artists availability and attended to on a first come first serve basis.

In the event you need to reschedule your appointment, please do so 48 or more hours prior to your appointment to avoid forfeiture of your deposit.

Even though we advise against this, minors over the age of 16 are allowed to get tattoos with parental consent either in person or by a notarized affidavit that can be picked up at our shop. It is against the law to tattoo anyone under the age of 16 in the State of North Dakota.

NOTE* - THE DESIGN REMAINS OUR PROPERTY AS WE DO NOT DESIGN TATTOOS FOR OTHER ARTISTS OR SHOPS TO TAKE CREDIT FOR

These are non-negotiable rates, SO DON’T ASK for a lower one. However, you can ask for a set price based on the size and intricacy of the tattoo.

It is at the discretion of the artist whether or not they will charge by the hour or set a price based on the piece. As every piece is unique and comes with its own challenges, our intention is to always be fair to our clients as well as our artists. Realize, that the artist does not get to keep all of the money that they charge you. All of us here at Dakota Dream Tattoos must put in our fair share for the costs that come with running a tattoo shop. It’s not cheap, which is why we work diligently to always grow in our craft so that you get the highest quality work possible.

Touch Up Policy:

We offer complimentary touch-ups for tattoos within six months, excluding those on hands, feet, inner lips and areas that are prone to ink falling out due to placement or scar tissue. Touch-ups required due to improper aftercare are not complimentary. Email us a photo of your tattoo if you have a question about this.
