Frequently Asked Questions — The Goat Tattoo Shop
​
How much does a custom tattoo cost?
Every tattoo at The Goat Tattoo Shop is custom-designed, so pricing depends on the concept, size, placement, level of detail, and execution time. We focus on quality, longevity, and artistic value rather than fixed prices. During the consultation, we define the scope of the project and provide clear expectations.
​
Why are your tattoos priced higher than average?
Our pricing reflects the level of artistic guidance, technical execution, and long-term planning involved in each tattoo. We design tattoos to age better, use high-quality materials, limit the number of projects we take on, and dedicate significant time to design and execution. A well-made tattoo avoids costly touch-ups and regret over time.
​
Do color tattoos fade over time?
All tattoos change with time, but well-designed color tattoos fade slower and more evenly. Our artists use balanced palettes, strong contrast, and high pigment saturation to ensure color tattoos remain vibrant and readable for years when properly cared for.
​
How long will my tattoo look good?
A tattoo designed with proper contrast, composition, and technique can look strong for many years. Our approach prioritizes longevity from the design stage, considering skin behavior, placement, and aging factors to maximize long-term quality.
​
How does the custom design process work?
The process starts with a consultation where we discuss your idea, story, and goals. The artist then develops a design tailored to your anatomy, style, and concept. Adjustments are made as needed to ensure the final tattoo is cohesive, intentional, and unique.
​
How do I know which artist is right for me?
Each artist at The Goat Tattoo Shop has a defined specialty. Leo focuses on color, fantasy, and surrealistic tattoos, while Javi specializes in black & grey tattoos with high contrast and dark narrative styles. During the consultation, we guide you to the artist best suited for your project.
​
Do you accept walk-ins?
No. The Goat Tattoo Shop works by consultation only. This allows us to maintain high standards, dedicate proper time to each project, and ensure every tattoo is fully custom and well planned.
​
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least two weeks in advance. High-demand projects or larger custom pieces may require additional lead time to ensure proper design and scheduling.
​
What makes a tattoo age well?
Tattoos that age well are built on strong contrast, balanced composition, proper spacing, and solid execution. Design decisions made at the beginning play a bigger role in longevity than trends or short-term aesthetics.
​
Is it worth investing in a high-end tattoo?
A tattoo is permanent. Investing in a high-end tattoo means investing in thoughtful design, expert execution, and long-term satisfaction. Clients who choose quality from the start avoid future cover-ups, excessive touch-ups, and regret.
