How much are commissions?
Personal commissions are currently paused so I can focus on larger projects (for everyone). BANDS and BRANDS - please e-mail regardless at jaredgainesva@gmail.com
If I'm open for commissions, I would be happy to make a custom painting for you! The price depends on the size, and the content can dictate the size needed. On average:
8x6 - one song/idea - Starting at 85
8x8 - more detailed, larger design with text - Starting at 100
8x10 - larger, more detailed design (or two), plenty of room for text and border- Starts at 125
Pet Portraits - 125-150 on average
Can I get a tattoo of your art?
I’m happy you like my art enough to want it tattooed! You’re certainly free to get it! The designs on www.jaredgaines.com are fair game since I’ve made prints of them available. You certainly don’t have to buy one to get permission, but it does help support what I do. There are some personal, commissioned designs on my social media that you can ask about specifically.
My thoughts: These were designed for the 2d page, so you’re free to change them up how you and your tattoo artist think is best for where it’s going. A great tattoo artist will likely only improve on the imagery, so please find a great, licensed tattoo artist that works in a professional and sanitary studio (not in your friend's kitchen)! Look at their portfolio and make sure they have done something similar. VIRGINIA FRIENDS: I recommend:

Please send a picture and/or tag me on social media and please ask your tattoo artist to do the same - it’s respectful and helps others discover my art! Best of luck on your tattoo journey!
