Invoicing for your tattoo artist business

A tattoo session goes into the preview as time plus anything the client takes home. Put the hours in the chair on the first row at your hourly rate, describing the piece and its placement, such as a forearm botanical. An aftercare kit or other product sits on its own row underneath with the number sold and its unit price.

The tax box charges one percentage on the subtotal. Your state's department of revenue can confirm whether tattoo services or aftercare products are taxable before you fill it in.

Worked example, with sample figures: a single session takes 3 hours at $150.00, 3 × $150.00 = $450.00, and the client buys 1 aftercare kit at $15.00, 1 × $15.00 = $15.00. The subtotal is $450.00 + $15.00 = $465.00 before tax.

Deposits, tattoos done over several sessions, billing design time, and cash or card payments are covered in the tattoo artist invoicing guide.

Why Billed fits tattoo artist billing

  • Share the sketch before the appointment: Billed's estimating page says "Attach important files and images with your estimates."
  • Have the client sign off on the design quote: Billed's features page says "Yes your clients can approve or reject your estimates online."
  • Take the booking fee and the balance on one bill: Billed's help center says "Clients can pay several installments against a single invoice."
