How Much Does a Tattoo Website Cost? The Bills We Could Price

Tattoo website cost is a stack of bills, not one sticker. On November 8, 2026, this post read Squarespace’s pricing file, Wix’s plan page, help, and the website pages in this repo. Freelancer quotes and agency quotes were not opened. Where a marketing page and a help article disagree, help wins.

The numbers that have a source

Option	Price we can print	What the price is
Free portfolio ZIP	$0	One page you download. Hosting is separate.
Free HTML template	$0	11 pages, a contact form, no booking page
Artist template	$99 one-time	License to publish or download
Studio template	$199 one-time	Same editor, with a team page
Hosting, not subscribed	$10 a month or $100 a year	portfolio.ink, SSL, CDN
Done-for-you, artist	$799 one-time	Template plus first year of hosting
Done-for-you, studio	$999 one-time	Then $100 a year unless you subscribe
Squarespace Basic, US, annual	$228 a year	$19 a month on that file’s annual column
Squarespace Basic, US, monthly	$25 a month	Same plan, month to month
Wix Light, yearly card	$17 shown	Tax lines on the page conflict
Wix Core, yearly card	$29 shown	Card lists scheduling and services
Custom websites	From $3,000	Starting price. No ceiling printed.
Solo software plan	$29 a month or $239 a year	Includes a website and hosting

Squarespace’s file also lists Core at $29 a month on annual billing, $348 a year, or $39 a month month to month. Plus is $49 a month on the annual column, $588 a year, and Advanced is $99 a month annually, $1,188 a year. The file stamps itself October 5, 2026. This check never got the pricing page to load.

Wix’s Business card did not show a dollar amount. Business Elite showed $159. The page says the displayed prices are USD yearly subscriptions, paid in full, and that prices do not include applicable taxes. The cards that showed $17, $29, and $159 also say “Price includes GST.” This post does not multiply those cards into a year total while both tax lines sit on the page.

Our files, and which bill is which

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. Booking sits outside those seven. Switch on Enable Booking Page and paste an embed. That page does not take a deposit or store a consent form.

A license is required to publish or download the paid template. A Tattoo Studio Pro subscription lets you publish the included website without a separate license. Download as ZIP still needs a license. Only the studio owner can claim the included site. If the subscription ends, help says the site goes offline and comes back with the content intact when you resubscribe.

Hosting for everyone else is $10 a month or $100 a year. Help includes SSL, a CDN across 275+ cities, a portfolio.ink subdomain, custom domain connection, email forwarding, DDoS protection, and uptime monitoring. Nameserver changes can take up to 48 hours. SSL can take up to 30 minutes after the domain is active. Those are help’s lines. This post did not time them.

Some marketing pages say a template purchase includes 3 months of free hosting. Help does not say that. This post does not use the 3-month line.

The free portfolio ZIP is $0 and one page. Typed content is in the file. A connected Tattoo Studio Pro portfolio or booking form loads live and needs an internet connection. Help says the ZIP leaves out the admin panel, the download button, and cloud save. It does not say the ZIP strips booking. Putting that page on portfolio.ink is the $10 a month or $100 a year host, unless your subscription includes hosting.

The free tattoo website template is a different $0 download: 11 HTML pages and a contact form, no booking page.

Help names Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, and GitHub Pages as upload targets and labels them free. Their price cards were not opened. This post does not call them free, and it does not price a domain. You still buy the domain from a registrar.

Setup, custom, and the software plan

Done-for-you setup is $799 or $999 one-time on the template setup page. You send the words and the photos. The first year of hosting is included. After that, the setup contract is $100 a year unless your subscription includes hosting. That $100 is not the $10 a month card. One revision round is included. The page includes 30 days of post-launch support. The description says live in a week, and a later step says typically 2 to 3 business days. This post did not time a job. If you already bought the $99 or $199 template, the setup page says that purchase is credited.

The custom websites page starts at $3,000. It does not print a ceiling. Its monthly-fee answer names hosting, SSL, support, and minor updates, and it does not print a dollar amount. This post does not invent one.

Solo is $29 a month or $239 a year on the pricing page, for one active staff member. Help says that subscription includes a website and hosting. Product facts say the trial is 30 days, a card is required, and nothing is charged until day 30. The pricing page prints “30 days free” and does not print the card line. Reports in the software are not payroll, and this page is not a payroll price.

No freelancer quote and no agency quote were opened on November 8, 2026. A number in that range would be made up. Use the custom page’s $3,000 floor, or get a quote, and do not treat a blog range as a bid.

If you are already paying for a site, audit the site you are already paying for before you budget for a new one.

Year 1, only where the math is closed

Squarespace US Basic, annual, is $228 a year on the file. Three of those annual totals is $684. That is multiplication, not a promise the price holds.

Artist template plus the annual hosting card is $99 + $100 = $199 in year 1, then $100 a year. Artist template plus monthly hosting is $99 + $120 = $219 in year 1, then $10 a month. Subscribers do not add that hosting card. Their software bill starts at $29 a month, and the site is included.

Wix is left out of that year-1 sum on purpose. $17 on the Light card is not a settled tax-exclusive or tax-inclusive charge until the page’s two tax lines are read as one. The card-by-card read is on tattoo website builders. Owning the file, without a Squarespace total, is on own your tattoo website.

FAQs

How much does a tattoo website cost?

On this read, Squarespace US Basic is $228 a year, or $25 a month. A tattoo Artist template is $99 one-time. Hosting, if you are not subscribed, is $10 a month or $100 a year. Wix Light shows $17 on a yearly card, and the page’s tax lines conflict.

What is the cheapest file at $0?

Two of them. The free portfolio ZIP is one page. The free HTML template is 11 pages, a contact form, and no booking page. Hosting either one on portfolio.ink is $10 a month or $100 a year unless your subscription includes hosting.

Is Wix or Squarespace cheaper?

Squarespace US Basic is $19 a month on annual billing, $228 for the year, on the pricing file. Wix Light shows $17 on a yearly card. This post does not call Light cheaper, because Wix’s page says both that the price includes GST and that prices do not include applicable taxes.

Do I own the site on Wix or Squarespace?

Export screens were not opened. This post does not say what either company gives you if you cancel. A licensed template downloads as a ZIP. A subscription publishes without a separate license, and the download still needs a license.

Does Tattoo Studio Pro include a website?

Yes. Help says the subscription includes a website and hosting, and you claim it from the Hosting page. Solo is $29 a month or $239 a year. The trial in product facts is 30 days with a card required.

How long does a tattoo website take?

The setup page says live in a week, and also says typically 2 to 3 business days. This post did not time a job. A template you edit yourself has no clock on the help page.
