How to Build a Tattoo Artist Website Without Coding
A tattoo artist website can be a free portfolio ZIP, a $99 or $199 one-time template, or a setup at $799 or $999. The monthly bill, when there is one, is hosting.
A tattoo artist website without coding is a real offer on this site. “No monthly fee” is only true for the file. Hosting, if you publish with us and you do not subscribe, is $10 a month or $100 a year.
Prices below were read from the website pages in this repo on November 8, 2026. Help wins where a marketing table still says 6 pages.
The $0 files
The Portfolio Template is free, single-page, and edited in an admin panel. Help gives it six sections, a gallery, and a ZIP download. That ZIP carries no hosting bill from us.
Publishing it to portfolio.ink uses Tattoo Studio Pro hosting. A subscriber claims hosting with the subscription. Everyone else pays $10 a month or $100 a year. The product page names Netlify and GitHub Pages as places you can upload a ZIP. This post did not open those price cards, so it does not call them free.
The free HTML template is a different download: $0, 11 pages, a contact form, and no booking page. You edit the files. It is not the portfolio ZIP, and it is not the paid template license.
Have photos, a short bio, your styles, and a way for clients to reach you before you open the editor. Help does not set an image cap on the portfolio. The product page says there is no limit, and this pass did not time the build. The walkthrough is on the free tattoo portfolio page.
The template is $99 or $199, one time
The Artist template is $99 one-time. The Studio template is $199 one-time. Help lists 7 pages: Home, About, Portfolio, Services, Aftercare, Policies, and Contact. Older tables on the websites index say 6 or 6+. Those counts are not the ones used here.
Booking is a separate page. Switch it on and paste an embed. It is not an eighth base page, and the template file does not store a consent form.
You can build before you pay. A subscriber publishes without a separate license: claim the included website on the Site tab. Hosting comes with the subscription. A ZIP of the Artist or Studio template still needs a license. Without a subscription, that license is what lets you publish, and publish still needs a hosting plan at $10 a month or $100 a year.
The pages and the editor are on the Artist template and the Studio template.
If someone else should build it
Artist setup is $799 one-time, and studio setup is $999 one-time. You send the words and the photos. The first year of hosting is included, then $100 a year unless your subscription includes hosting. That renewal is the setup contract. It is not the $10 a month card above.
The setup page’s description says the site is live in a week. This post did not time a job. One revision round is included, and a template you already bought is credited. The page is template setup. The choice between doing it yourself and paying for setup is on DIY or done-for-you.
Custom work starts at $3,000 on the custom page. No ceiling is printed there. The comparison is on custom tattoo shop websites.
Which bill matches the site
| Path | Price | Pages, from help | Hosting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portfolio ZIP | $0 | 1 page, six sections | None from us, until you publish on portfolio.ink |
| Portfolio on portfolio.ink | $0 for the template | Same single page | $10 a month or $100 a year, unless your subscription includes hosting |
| Artist template | $99 one-time | 7 pages | $10 a month or $100 a year, unless your subscription includes hosting |
| Studio template | $199 one-time | 7 pages, with a team page | Same hosting card as the Artist template |
| Done-for-you | $799 or $999 one-time | The same 7-page template | First year included, then $100 a year unless your subscription includes hosting |
| Custom | From $3,000 | Scoped on a call | The custom page’s monthly plan does not print a number |
Solo on the subscription help article is $29 a month or $239 a year for 1 team member. That subscription includes the website and hosting. Larger plan caps stay in the help article, off this page. Software prices sit on the pricing page.
If you already have a site and are not starting from a blank template, run a free check first.
FAQs
Is a tattoo artist website free of monthly fees?
The portfolio ZIP is $0, and the Artist and Studio templates are one-time prices. A monthly bill shows up when you publish on our hosting without a subscription: $10 a month, or $100 a year. A subscriber claims hosting and does not pay that card.
How many pages do I get?
The free portfolio is one page. The paid templates, in help, are 7: Home, About, Portfolio, Services, Aftercare, Policies, and Contact. Booking is a separate switch and an embed.
Can I put the ZIP on another host?
Yes for the files you downloaded. Ask that host what they charge. This post did not audit Netlify, GitHub Pages, or any other builder’s export screen.
What does done-for-you cost after the first year?
$100 a year, unless your subscription includes hosting. The first year is included in the $799 or $999 one-time setup.
Does the free HTML download include booking?
No. It has a contact form. It is 11 pages at $0. Booking pages are on the Artist and Studio templates, as an embed you paste in.
Can I update the site after I download it?
Yes. Help gives you the editor again, and a subscriber or a license holder can publish the change. The ZIP is a copy of the files. It does not keep editing itself on the other host.
