How Much Do Tattoo Kits Cost?
So you’re interested in becoming a tattoo artist and you’ve heard about this little thing known as a tattoo kit, eh? Well, you’re off to a great start. Tattoo kits simplify getting your foot in the door, taking everything a beginner needs, putting it all in one box, and selling it for a good price to aspiring and curious tattoo artists to be.
Of course, one of the first reasonable questions anyone has about it is the price. How much do these tattoo kits cost? Can I get one for a couple hundred dollars? What about less than that – is it even possible for someone to buy a tattoo kit under $100?
If these are the types of questions you’ve got on your mind, then I’ve got good news for you. The verdict is in: cheap tattoo kits abound. In fact, that entire point of a tattoo kit is that it’s inexpensive and yet offers a buffet of tattoo supplies for an aspiring or beginner tattoo artist.
Yes, there are tattoo kits available for under $100. These are often even the best selling kits offered and many companies offer their version of the tattoo kit for less than $100 in an effort to get your business.

That being said, there are many other tattoo kits, with different combination’s of supplies. For instance, other kits are coupled with multiple tattoo machines, many additional needles, and an entire array of tattoo inking supplies instead of just a few bottles of black ink. Certainly these kits are going to run a bit more than the cheap tattoo kits.
Once you move beyond the cheapest starter kits, you’ll see tattoo kits in the price range of about $135-$250. As in everything, you get what you pay for, and for those who think they may be in this for the long haul, it makes sense to purchase something of higher quality, improved durability, and that’s just going to last you longer i.e. more needles, more ink, etc.
Tattoo kits rarely cost more than a couple hundred dollars. If they do, they cease to become less of a kit and more of a professional supply bundle for someone already knee deep in the tattoo business.
For someone wanted to start out, spending anywhere $85-150 is most common, and you get everything you could want for that price to get your started with a basic tattoo kit.
