Nevertheless, the drama stemmed from when a Tik Tok user detailed her appointments with Joseph on her account.
Additionally, the user claimed that Joseph was charging around $200 only for consultation.
Meanwhile, a Twitter user said that Joseph is charging around $1500 for her cheapest design with only one minor change allowed for the customers.
Besides that, in the other option, the customer must pay an amount of $3500 for the design. However, they will be allowed to make two changes in the concept along with a couple more other changes.
The last option was to pay $6000 which enabled the customer to get multiple sketches as well as recreations.

A second user pointed out, ‘I don’t even hate the idea of paying for the drawing. It’s still their time. But $1700?! And it’s not even applied to the final cost?! Holy crap.’

Another user added, ‘That is bananas! Also I get that tattoo artists are artists, BUT also that art is going on someone else’s body and they are paying money for it.’

Someone else chimed in to say, ‘Yessss I’ve been watching so many videos on it. I cannot imagine wanting a specific artist so bad to agree to a $1500 consulting fee pretty much.’

A different user penned, ‘I have 2 sizable tattoos and each of them cost around $800 for 2-3 sessions. Anything outside of $150-200 an hour is absurd.’
