Budget estimate

$200,000 – $350,000

No contract value is disclosed. The cost sheet estimates 480 hours of program design/implementation and 2,080 hours of classroom instruction. Assuming typical rates of $100‑$150 per hour for qualified tattoo‑artist instructors and curriculum developers, total labor costs likely fall between $250,000 and $350,000, plus modest travel and equipment reimbursements. Thus a reasonable award range is roughly $200k‑$350k.
