You‘re partially right but mostly wrong. Those actors you named are A-list stars (with Ruby Rose being the exception). Producers will factor in the added costs to secure them for a role but Tyler wouldn’t be given the same latitude because he’s not a box office draw. The film can’t recoup the costs if he’s casted in a role requiring no tattoo. He would bust the budget on a small film project. You wanna know why? Let me tell you.
1. Tyler would have a call time 2hrs earlier every shooting day to cover the tattoos by two highly paid makeup artists. Those same makeup artist will be there at the end of the day to remove the makeup.
2. At wrap Tyler would need to sit in the chair again for at least 1:30 - 2hrs to remove the makeup. If the filming day is your average 10-12hr day you can add 3-4 more hours onto that for all of those people who can’t go home until Tyler is done. That includes the AD dept, makeup artists, the driver who takes Tyler back to his hotel, and another driver who preps the star trailers after they’re gone. Btw, All of these crew members are on double time pay at this point.
3. When you factor in those costs which spreads to other departments you’re talking several thousand dollars each shooting day in payroll.
Film and TV producers know the studios won’t stand for that shtt so they’ll never bother.
