    What is a tattoo artist invoice?

    An tattoo artist invoice is the bill you send a customer AFTER the work is done. It lists every part, labor charge, and tax, and tells the customer what they owe and how to pay.

    What every tattoo artist invoice should include

    • Artist name + license
    • Consent form + ID copy
    • Aftercare card
    • Deposit applied to balance
    • Tip line

    Tattoo artist invoice FAQ

    Do I charge sales tax on tattoo work?

    Most US states tax parts/materials but exempt labor. Use Glo Invoice's per-line tax toggle so each tattoo line item is taxed correctly. Check your state — a few (HI, NM, SD, WV) tax services too.

    Cash only?

    Most shops accept cards now — Glo Invoice payment links work for deposits.

    Under 18?

    Most states require 18+. Some allow with parent. Check your state law.
