Tattoo consultation form template
The questions an artist asks at the start of every consult, answered before it begins. Anyone under 18 is stopped kindly at the start, and cover-ups get their own step asking for a photo of the existing tattoo. Reference images, a flexibility scale and a note on skin or health round it off.

Questions to consider
- What's the minimum age in your area, and do you ask for ID at the appointment?
- Which styles do your artists actually work in, so the options match your portfolio?
- Do you take cover-ups, and does every artist do them?
- Do you take a deposit, and how will you explain it when you reply?
How to use the responses
Pass each response to the artist the client asked for, or to whoever's style matches, with the references and any cover-up photos attached. The size, placement and colour answers let them estimate sessions and time before the consult, and the flexibility score tells them how much to push their own design. Read the health notes before booking and follow up on anything that needs a doctor's go-ahead. Clients who are just exploring can wait; those who want to start soon should hear back first.
How to customize and share it
- 1Edit the styles to match your artists, and add or remove placements you don't tattoo.
- 2Change the age check if your local minimum differs, and rewrite the ending in your studio's voice.
- 3Put the link in your social profile and on your website's booking page.
Frequently asked questions
What should I bring to a tattoo consultation?
Reference images, a clear idea of placement and size, and photos of any tattoo you want covered. This form collects all of that in advance.
What does a tattoo consultation form ask?
The design idea, style, placement, size, colour, reference images, timing and any health information the artist needs to know.
How do I handle clients who are under 18?
Ask first. This form ends politely for anyone under 18, so they never fill in the rest and you never have to turn them down later.
Can clients upload reference images?
Yes. They can attach up to five images, plus separate photos when it's a cover-up, and you'll see them with the response.
