Love Designboom. They cover such neat stuff.
Indeed!
“I wanted a tattoo by this artist who I love,” Monteith began the first TikTok video. She booked a consultation with Joseph, for which she had to pay a non-refundable fee of $180. During their consultation, the tattoo artist informed Monteith about her tiered tattoo pricing.
The first option, which cost $1,500 plus tax, consisted of a concept sketch of the tattoo with one minor change and a final design review. Her second tattoo option included two concept sketches, a few changes, and a final design review for $3,500 plus tax. The final option was over $6,000 for multiple sketches, reviews, and a canvas of the concept sketch.

Yeah, no.
This is how I got hip to them:
Love those cute little feet!
Seems like a perfectly reasonable price chart by a professional graphic artist. If she’s that good, why wouldn’t an avowed aficionado of her work agree to her fees?
"What time is it?
“Slightly past Anthropocene.”
“Oh, it’s later than I thought!”
Honestly, from a biological perspective I think the entire Holocene is just ever accelerating human influence, given that what makes it different from any other interglacial is that most of the megafauna go extinct.
I’ve got to start wearing my glasses more often.
I read yam-based.
I had a bit of a moment.
They emptied 50 bullets into it first right?
From the same article:
“I’m trying to make her understand that I wasn’t aware when I booked the consultation that I was going to have to pay this design fee,” Monteith said. “I urged her to put it on her website that she was going to charge people this before they booked with her.”
The tattoo artist replied that the design fee was optional, but Monteith maintained that it was never made clear to her that the fee was optional.
Because I don’t understand TikTok here’s some stuff collected from there like where the fox was traced from:
Thanks for that clarification! It definitely makes me understand the situation completely differently.
I do still maintain that an artist charging for their time and expertise is appropriate, but it sounds like in this instance that’s not what was going on at all.
Based on the claim by the buyer that she “loved this artist’s work”, I was expecting actual artistry, not…that.
