Tattoo artist invoice template and a free website

A tattoo starts with a message and a reference picture, then a deposit, a drawing, and hours in the chair. Piercings are quicker but still need a record. goud.work gives you quotes and invoices that follow how a studio works, and a free page that shows your portfolio before your prices.

What goes on a tattoo artist invoice

Easy Invoice offers Deposit, Tattoo session counted by the hour, Small tattoo, Custom design, Piercing and Touch-up. Send the deposit first as its own invoice, paid by bank transfer, so the date is held. On the day, the session line counts the hours you worked. A big piece over several sittings can have a quote up front, then an invoice after each session. Your logo, colour and bank details sit on every one, and you can see when the client opened it.

Questions tattoo artists ask

How should tattoo artists take deposits?

Send the deposit as its own invoice the moment you agree a date, with your bank details on it. The client pays by transfer and you mark it paid. Say up front whether it comes off the final price and what happens if they cancel or miss the appointment. Put those rules on your page too.

Should I charge by the hour or by the piece?

Both are common. Small pieces and flash often have a set price, while big custom work is easier by the hour or by the sitting. Easy Invoice handles either: a Small tattoo line at one price, or a Tattoo session line that counts hours. Put design time on its own line if you charge for it.

Do tattoo artists need a licence in the UK?

Most need to register with their local council, and London has its own licensing. The rules differ between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so ask your council's environmental health team before you start. It's also against the law to tattoo anyone under 18.
