At Lakecity Tattooing you pay by size and style. Line work (script, symbols, outlines, fine line) is ₹1,700 for the first inch, then ₹700 per extra inch. Detailed work (colour, shading, blackwork fills) is ₹2,000 for the first inch, then ₹1,200 per extra inch. The studio minimum is ₹2,000. See the full tattoo price guide for Bhopal.
₹2,000 is our studio minimum for any tattoo, however small. Most small and first tattoos — a name, a date, a small symbol — land at this price.
A small name tattoo in clean script is usually ₹2,000 (our minimum). Longer names or larger lettering follow the line-work rate: ₹1,700 for the first inch, then ₹700 per extra inch.
Colour and shading are detailed work: ₹2,000 for the first inch, then ₹1,200 per extra inch. A 3-inch colour tattoo starts around ₹4,400.
Sleeves, back pieces and very detailed work are quoted after we see your idea, because they take several sessions. Send your idea and placement on WhatsApp 097521 95661 for an exact quote.
Cover-ups are quoted after we see a photo of the old tattoo, since size and darkness decide how big the new design has to be. Send a clear photo on WhatsApp for a free cover-up consultation.

No. Lakecity Tattooing does tattoos only.
Every tattoo uses sterile single-use needles and premium inks, in a clean studio setup.
Most people describe it as a scratch or sting that is easy to handle. Bonier and thinner-skinned spots — ribs, feet, spine, inner arm — usually hurt more than the outer arm, forearm or thigh.
Forearm, upper arm, ankle and the back of the neck are easy places to start.
The surface usually settles in about two to four weeks; the skin underneath keeps settling for longer. Follow the aftercare you are given.
You get clear aftercare instructions at the studio and an aftercare guide on WhatsApp. Keep it clean, follow the wrap instructions, and avoid swimming and direct sun while it heals.
Eat a proper meal, drink water, sleep well and skip alcohol the day before. Wear clothes that make the area easy to reach.
