Tattoo Prices in Tenerife: What to Expect in 2025

Planning to get inked while on holiday in Tenerife? Smart move. The Canary Islands offer quality work at prices that would make London or Berlin tattoo shops blush. Here's what you need to know.

What affects the final price?

Forget per-square-centimetre pricing — that's not how it works. We consider the full picture: size (obviously), complexity (a simple infinity symbol vs. a realistic portrait), placement (ribs and neck take longer), and style (colour work needs more sessions than blackwork).

Ballpark figures for 2025

Small pieces (2-5cm): €50-120. Perfect for first-timers or subtle designs.

Medium pieces (5-15cm): €120-350. Room for more detail here.

Large projects: €100/hour for session work. A full sleeve might take multiple sessions over several months.

Shop minimum: €50. Even tiny tattoos require sterile setup and quality materials.

Why we don't quote over WhatsApp

Every person is different. Your skin, your placement, your design — we need to see it all in person. That's why we offer free in-studio consultations. Pop by our shop in Playa de Las Américas, show us your idea, and we'll give you a fixed price with no surprises.

The practical stuff

Been here since 1989. Same location, same standards. We ask for a 30% deposit to book (deducted from your final price). Walk-ins welcome, but booking ahead guarantees your slot — especially during peak tourist season.
