How much does a tattoo cost?

Tattoo pricing varies by artist, size, complexity, and placement. Every TattMe artist publishes transparent pricing on their profile so you can see the price range and per-service costs before you book — no surprises at the shop.

Are the tattoo artists on TattMe verified?

Yes. Every artist who accepts bookings on TattMe completes Stripe identity verification. We confirm they are who they say they are before any client can book with them.

Do I need to pay a deposit to book a tattoo appointment?

Most artists require a deposit to lock in your appointment time. The deposit is set by the artist, goes straight to them, and counts toward your final tattoo cost. You'll see the exact deposit amount before confirming.

Can I see an artist's portfolio before booking?

Yes. Every TattMe artist profile shows their full portfolio with photos tagged by style, body placement, and size. Browse their work and read verified client reviews before reaching out.

Is it free to use TattMe as a client?

TattMe is 100% free for clients. We only charge a small platform fee that helps us maintain the platform and support the incredible artists on our platform.

How do I book a tattoo appointment online?

Find an artist on TattMe, pick the service that matches your idea, choose a time that works for both of you, and submit your request with a few reference photos. The artist confirms, you pay the deposit, and your appointment is locked in.

What if I need to reschedule or cancel?

Each artist sets their own rescheduling and cancellation policy, which appears on their profile and at booking. Message your artist directly through TattMe if your plans change — most are happy to work with you.

Satch turned a piece I wasn't sure about into a full sleeve and made it look like that was the intention from day one. A master of his craft, and one of the best experiences of my life.

My third piece from Randy, and definitely not my last. He helped me figure out the perfect placement when I was unsure, and it turned out even better than I imagined. The healing has been smooth.

The atmosphere was positive and so was Kevin. It felt like getting tattooed by a friend. He turned my scars into something beautiful, and I'm reminded of my strength every time I look at this tattoo.
