A customer asked me how much it cost to make a minimal tattoo.
π π²: 1,,000php po π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Masyado namang mahal, tapos minimal lang?
π π²: How much do you think it would cost you?
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: 300php maximum... Madali lang naman yon diba?! mga 5-10 minutes tapos na yun sayo.
π π²: hmm puwede naman ikaw nalang gumawa
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Pero hindi ko alam kung paano...π
π π²: For 500php tuturuan kita, nakasave ka pa ng 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:
βTattoo Machine
Ink
Ink Cups
Surgical rubber Gloves
Wipes
Alcohol
Stencil Paper
Stencil primer
Etc.
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Hala.π£ But I don't have all these equipment. Bibili pa ba ko niyan, isang minimal lang naman gagawin ko. π
π π²: Well then for another 500php more I'll rent my stuff to you para makagawa ka. π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Sige Sige π
π π²: Okay! thursday I'm waiting for you to start doing this work ha.
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: But I can't on Thursday I only have time today.π’
π π²: I'm sorry, but I'm only available on Thursday to teach you and lend you my stuff. Other days are busy with other clients na kasi. π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Okay! That means I'm going to have to sacrifice my Thursday 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: Internet connection, power, etc.
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: 500php sa turo, 500 sa rent ng stuff, parang ikaw narin gumawa.π Halos parehas lang naman ng presyo, edi ikaw na pala gumawa.π
When you pay for a job, you pay not only for the equipment used, but also:

- Study
- Tools
- Services
- Time to go
- punctuality
- Accountability
- Accuracy
- Guaranteed
- Sacrifices
- Safety and security
No one can denigrate other people's work by judging prices.
Only by knowing all the elements necessary for the product
