Free Tattoo Artist Quote Template
Tattoo artists quote because a large custom piece involves multiple sessions, and clients need to understand the total time before committing. A written quote sets the design deposit, the hourly rate, and the expected number of sessions so there are no surprises after the first sitting.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a tattoo artist charge per hour?
Experienced tattoo artists charge €80 to €200 per hour. A small simple tattoo under an hour costs €80 to €180. A half-sleeve (10 to 15 hours over multiple sessions) costs €800 to €3,000. Custom large-scale work by sought-after artists costs €200 to €400 per hour and involves long waiting lists.
What should a tattoo quote include?
Specify: the design fee (if separate from the tattoo), the deposit required to secure the appointment, the hourly rate, an estimated number of sessions, the shop minimum (minimum charge regardless of size), and the touch-up policy. Deposits are non-refundable for missed or late-cancelled appointments.
How do tattoo artists price custom designs?
Custom design work (drawing or digital artwork unique to the client) is a separate creative service. Many artists charge €50 to €200 for a custom design, which is then deducted from the final tattoo cost. Others include design in the session fee but don't share the design files if the client doesn't proceed.
