Booking a Tattoo in Seattle — FAQ

How do I book a tattoo artist in Seattle?+

Pick an artist below, choose your tattoo style and placement, upload reference images, and submit your request. Once the artist quotes a price and date, you pay the deposit directly to their Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal to lock the calendar slot.

How much is a tattoo deposit in Seattle?+

Most independent tattoo artists in Seattle require a $50–$150 flat deposit or 20–30% of the quoted session price. The deposit is applied toward the final cost of your tattoo and protects both sides with a public refund record on Deposink.

Are deposits protected if a Seattle artist cancels?+

Yes. Unlike informal Instagram DMs, Deposink tracks artist-initiated cancellations publicly. Artists who promptly honor refunds earn a "100% refunds honored" badge on their booking page, while unresolved disputes automatically pause their booking link.
