- Hi, I'm Denise.
- Hey, what's up, my name is Taka Tamada.
- My name's Jose Herrera.
- Today I'm gonna be guessing the cost of these tattoos.
(upbeat rock music)
- So, for pricing a tattoo, it probably varies.
- From $20 to $20,000?
Who's to say?
- I feel pretty confident about it.
- Yeah, I think I'm confident, yeah, I can do it.
I bet I can get close to it.
- Let's go.
- [Taka] Tattoo number one.
- It looks pretty big.
- Black outlined flower stuff.
- I would think this would cost around 300 bucks.
- I would probably say it's about 400 bucks.
- I don't know, I would guess this tattoo probably cost
around 400 bucks.
Oof.
- Oh, I was close.
- Yeah, I guess they kinda got a deal.
I mean, it's pretty big.
It seems like it'd be a lot of work.
- Like a watery woman.
- It's like a half sleeve.
- A lotta black and gray, some negative space
from the shoulder maybe to the elbow.
- I would probably say $1000, again.
- I'm thinking this one's probably around for 500.
No, no, you know what, actually, 300.
Let's do 300.
Because it looks pretty old.
- I think it's like 500.
- Hm, okay.
I'm not really good at guessing the cost of a tattoos, okay.
- Ah yes, the age old favorite.
- Dandelion kinda blowing into birds.
- I've done this tattoo before, many times.
- I think its like 100 bucks.
- Would probably say, like, 180 for somethin' like this.
- My quick guess will be 250.
You know what, let's go with 300.
- [Director] 200.
- 200, all right, cool, all right.
- 200 bucks.
- That's like one of my best guesses all day.
- This one is a script.
It's hard to read but this is pretty cool, man.
I like it.
- Script is definitely a very specific skill.
There's artists that make a living just off of it.
So my final guess would probably be $300.
- I think this will go around 250.
- I would guess this one costs 250.
Okay, 200 bucks.
- Oh, I'm only $50 off, huh?
- Little off.
I guess they saved 100 bucks.
- Very small, small tattoos.
- We have an exclamation point, just in black.
Maybe, like, an inch?
- I would probably say 80 bucks for somethin' like this.
- I'm sure every tattoo shop has their minimum,
so I will go with the $80.
- I'm gonna say 100 bucks.
100 bucks.
- Ah, damn, depends where you go, though, you know?
- I think I'm goin' pretty good so far.
- So this is an astronaut with ribbon around him,
floating through the galaxy.
- What would you call this guy?
A mariner?
- 1000 again, just like the one before,
'cause it seems like it's pretty huge.
- I'm gonna guess, like, 1500.
- On the rib, that's gonna take a while,
I would say that it had three sessions.
1800, no, 2400.
- That makes sense.
That's almost $1200, so yeah, I can see that.
- Whoa, I'm way off.
Dude, this is very cool.
1200 huh?
- We've got like a kitsune nine tailed fox
with a chick.
- This is huge.
It's like a full sleeve.
- Goin' from shoulder to wrist.
- The fantasy, like the Japanese type of work.
I like it, man, that's cool.
- 1500 for somethin' like this, since it's like so huge.
Maybe even more.
- Because of the size, I wanna say $4000.
- I'm gonna go on a limb here and guess 1200.
- 700?
That's a good deal.
- I'm surprised, actually, 'cause it's massive.
- Oh, that's a great deal.
They must've been pretty good homies.
- 700 will get you something
like a little bit bigger than your hand,
like a hand size, honestly.
- It's huge.
It's looks like it's maybe his whole thigh.
- Dying phonograph.
- Old school Americana style.
I wanna say this is probably $500.
- I'd probably say 500 bucks for somethin' like this.
- I wanna say, this was probably like 500 bucks.
- Double, huh, I guess it was $1000, so, I was really off.
- 1000 bucks.
- 1000, wow, good for you.
Good for you.
- This person is super light, so it looks pretty.
It doesn't seem like they get a lot of sun.
- Probably gonna for 400.
- $350.
- 250?
- Oh, sure.
- Oh, there's a lot of color work,
so I guess that makes sense.
- Oh, I was close, all right.
Fine, whatever.
- I don't think I did that well.
- It's kinda cool seeing what other people charge.
- I did horrible.
I didn't do as good as I thought I would do.
- It's difficult, I have troubling pricing my own tattoos,
so that was really stressful.
- You know, it's hard to price the tattoos
because you are selling your piece of yourself in a way.
Like, how do you even, like, you know,
put the price on it, you know?
