A customer asked me how much is the minimum for a tattoo.
π π²: 2500php
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Masyado namang mahal, tapos maliit lang naman?
π π²: How much do you think it would cost you?
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: 1,000 minimum... Madali lang naman yon diba?! Saka may iba naman na ganun lang ang singil.π
π π²: Ok, since magkakilala naman tayo pwede namang ikaw ang gumawa. π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Pero hindi ko alam kung paano...π
π π²: For 1,000php tuturuan kita, nakasave ka pa ng 1,500php. You'll get the knowledge na kailangan mo. π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Sige, pwede na din.π
π π²: But to get started: May mga kailangan tayong gamit:
(estimated ave. price of quality supplies)
mas mahal if known brand.
βTattoo machine (5,000)
Power supply (5,000)
Ink (if black and grey) (2,500)
Needles and Tips (500)
Other supplies (gloves, wipes, cups etc.) (1,500)
= 14.5k
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Hala.π£ But I don't have all these Tools. Bibili pa ba ko niyan, isang project lang naman gagawin ko. π
π π²: Well then for another 1000php more I'll rent my stuff to you para makagawa ka. π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Sige Sige π
π π²: Okay! Saturday I'm waiting for you to start doing this work ha.
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: But I can't on Saturday I only have time today.π’
π π²: I'm sorry, but I'm only available on Saturday to teach you and lend you my stuff. Other days are busy with other customers na kasi. π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Okay! That means I'm going to have to sacrifice my Saturday and give up my other tasks.π£
π π²: I forgot. To do your job yourself, you also have to pay for the non-productive factors.π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Totoo ba? Ano naman yun?π²
π π²: Vat, Internet connection, power, etc.
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Jusko! Ang dami ko namang babayaran at masasayang na oras bago ako makagawa!π²
Simpleng tattoo lang tapos andami pala kailangan bilhin?
π π²: Actually may sosobra pa naman dyan sa mga materials na bibilin mo, di ka naman makakabili ng tingi tingi lang. π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: 1,000 sa turo, 1,000 sa rent ng stuff, 500 na lang kulang para ikaw gumawa.π Konti nalang din naman ang idadagdag ikaw na pala gumawa.π
When you pay for a job, especially atrtists, you pay not only for the material used, but also:
- Knowledge
- Experience
- Study
- Tools
- Services
- Time
- Accountability
- Accuracy
- Guarantee
- Safety and security
No one can denigrate other people's work by judging prices.
Only by knowing all the elements necessary for the production of a certain work can you estimate the actual cost.
