how much should i charge for airbrushed tattoos?

Question

i'm doing shamrocks and "kiss me i'm irish" at an irish pub from 2-7 on st pattys. it's alcohol based paint so it lasts longer, but its $100 worth of paint. a % of the money (no idea how much... the bar asked me whats fair??) goes to the bar. so... how much should i charge if i intend to even profit from this??

oh, i guess i should mention i'm Canadian (in Vancouver)

Answer 1

I would charge between 5 and 10 dollars, you might even get tips if they are drunk enough!!!

Answer 2

I say figure out how many people you can paint with that amount of paint, to see what you need to charge per use to generally cover the cost of it. So if $100 of paint will paint 200 people, then it costs 50 cents per person. Then just charge whatever else you want for your skill and time and what the market will bear.

Chances are people will go for it if it's $5, they'll have that on them usually, more and they may not go for it. Plus you only have to do 20 people in order to break even. The rest is profit.

Best of luck.

Answer 3

I would say charge probably $5-$7. Any more than that, I don't think people will pay. As for the %, that's a tough call. How many tattoos do you think you can get out of the paint? Maybe 30%?

Answer 4

How many airbrush tattoos can you get out of that $100.

Figure out how much you want to earn for you time, add what you need to pay the bar and the cost of paint, then divide by the number of tattoos you get out of that amount of paint.

Answer 5

5 to 7 dollars

Answer 6

you should charge like about $10 to $15. I think thats a resonable price for airbrush tattoos.

Answer 7

8$ because it isnt over priced afterall the tat isnt perminent but at the same time it will be enough to cover expences

Answer 8

charge at least 300 bucks

Answer 9

Answer 10
