Every design is drawn for you; Gwen doesn't tattoo flash. That's why the price follows the time your piece needs, not a fixed menu. Send your idea on WhatsApp and you'll get a time and price estimate before you book.
Sessions vs Hourly
Booking a session is cheaper per hour than booking the same hours one by one:
Mid-size pieces usually fit a half-day session. Larger work such as sleeves, back pieces and big cover-ups is best planned in full-day sessions.
What Sets the Price
Because the price follows the time, four things decide what your tattoo costs:
To get an estimate, send Gwen your idea, a reference image, the size and the placement on WhatsApp (+66 91 396 1445). English is spoken.
Cover-Up Pricing
Cover-ups are quoted individually after a free photo assessment. No two cover-ups start from the same place. The quote depends on the same four things Gwen assesses for every cover-up: how dark the old tattoo is, where it sits on the body, the condition of the skin, and the design you want.
Send a clear photo of your current tattoo on WhatsApp. You'll get an honest answer about what's possible, how big the new piece needs to be and roughly how many sessions it will take, before any deposit.
If laser fading would genuinely help, Gwen will tell you. Laser is done and paid for separately at a laser clinic. Read laser fading before a cover-up, and see how dark and black tattoos are covered.
Large Pieces
A full sleeve or back piece is usually completed over several full-day sessions, with healing time in between. At ฿25,000 per full-day session, the total depends on how many sessions your design needs. Gwen estimates this from your reference before you commit, so you know the plan and the budget from the start.
If you're visiting Pattaya, say how long you're staying so the sessions can be planned around your trip.
