The full range

Every session, sorted.

From a quick flash piece to a multi-session custom sleeve, TradieNotes keeps up with the range of jobs US tattoo artists actually run.

🧼Local authority registration

Tattoo licensing in the US is handled at the state or county level, usually through the local health department, and requirements vary significantly by state — there's no federal scheme. Most states prohibit tattooing anyone under 18 without parental consent, and several states ban it outright regardless of consent, so check your state's specific rules.

💳Deposits & balances

Most studios take a deposit at booking to secure the appointment. Note it separately and it's tracked against the balance due, with both itemised clearly on the invoice.

🎨Multi-session pieces

Large custom work often spans several sessions. Note each session by hour rate or flat rate and it's itemised as its own line or invoice, whichever suits your billing style.

Tattoo Artist FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does it handle deposit and balance payments?+
Yes. Note the deposit taken at booking and it's tracked separately from the balance due on the day, with both itemised clearly.
Can it price multi-session pieces?+
Yes. Note each session separately — by hour rate or flat piece rate — and it's itemised as its own line or invoice.
Does it know about hygiene registration requirements?+
TradieNotes doesn't check licensing for you, but it's worth noting: tattoo licensing in the US is handled at the state or county level, usually through the local health department, and requirements vary significantly — there's no federal scheme. Most states prohibit tattooing anyone under 18 without parental consent, and several states ban it outright regardless of consent, so check your state's specific rules.
Can it invoice for touch-ups separately from the original piece?+
Yes. Note it as a touch-up session and it's itemised separately, whether charged as a small fee or included free within a set period.
Does it handle flash pieces vs custom design work?+
Yes. Note the job type — flash piece, custom design, or cover-up — and it's captured accurately on your invoice.
What does tattoo work typically cost in the US?+
Pricing depends on size, detail, and hours involved — your invoice reflects whatever you actually charged for that session.
Can I invoice for a design consultation separately?+
Yes. Note it as a design consultation fee and it's captured as its own invoice line, distinct from the tattooing session.
Are the invoices sales-tax ready?+
Yes — every invoice itemises sessions and deposits and includes a Sales Tax line you fill in before exporting. Sales tax rules vary by state, so TradieNotes doesn\'t auto-calculate a rate for you.
Do I need an account?+
No account needed. Create one free to save your invoice history, or just snap and pay $2.
