    What is a tattoo artist receipt?

    An tattoo artist receipt is proof of payment you give the customer AFTER they pay. It confirms the amount paid, the date, and the work performed — useful for warranty claims and tax records.

    What every tattoo artist receipt should include

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

    Tattoo artist receipt 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.
