InkCraft

Here’s another example of how the tattoo tiers in the Kickstarter campaign correlate to real tattoo work.

This color portrait of Iron Man took roughly 4–6 hours to complete.

The $600 Kickstarter tier is designed for tattoos in this range — medium to larger pieces that require several hours of work.

Backing at that level helps support the new InkCraft studio while also giving you additional tattoo credit toward work like this when the shop opens.

Here’s a real example of how the Kickstarter tattoo credit tiers line up with actual tattoo time.

This butterfly is roughly softball sized, and a tattoo like this usually takes about 1.5–2 hours, depending on detail and how the skin takes ink.

At my normal rate of $150/hour, that means something like this is typically $225–$300 worth of tattoo time.

Here’s how that lines up with the Kickstarter tiers:

• $150 tier → $225 tattoo credit
• $300 tier → $450 tattoo credit

So if you were already thinking about getting a tattoo around this size when the shop reopens, backing the campaign is essentially a way to lock in that future tattoo time at a bonus value.

That’s the whole idea behind the tiers — giving clients who were already planning work a chance to get extra value while helping bring the new shop to life.

If you have a tattoo idea in mind but aren’t sure which tier would cover it best, feel free to message me and I can give you a rough estimate.
