What 9 tattoo waiver apps cost, read at each vendor's own page this month

September 27, 2026 · Chris, waivers.tattoo

Search for the best tattoo waiver app and the first page is listicles written by the companies in them, quoting plans that are not on the pricing page any more. This is the other kind of list. 9 products, each priced at its own page on the date beside it, for one shop: 3 chairs, about 300 signed waivers a month, tattoos and piercings. What each one counts, what a year costs, and where the counting stops.

The 300 is an assumption, not a measurement, and it is the number that decides the plan on most of these pages. A quieter shop lands a tier lower and a busier one a tier higher, so the table names the tier as well as the price. Every product name links to the page the price was read from.

The 3 things a waiver app counts

5 of the 9 count signed waivers. Smartwaiver, WaiverSign, WaiverFile and eWaiverPro sell a monthly allowance and charge for the ones past it, and WaiverForever sells a monthly fee and a usage charge past the first 50. On all 5 the meter is your client, and a good month costs more than a bad one.

2 count people. Wavrr's Artist plan is 1 artist and its Studio plan is more than 1; Tattoo Studio Pro's plans run from 1 active team member to 25, in 6 steps. On both, a guest artist for a week is a plan change or a seat you are already paying for.

1 counts iPads. Tattoo Release Forms sells the tablet count, up to 5 on Pro, and its own page says the web app is coming. And 2 count nothing: StabPad, which is free, and ours, which is 1 price for the shop.

What a busy month does to the bill

A shop that signs 300 a month sits on the line of most meters. Smartwaiver's Starter stops at exactly 300, and the next plan up is Business at $1,581 a year. WaiverSign's Professional stops at 250 and bills $0.15 for each one past it. WaiverFile's Business plan carries 400 and bills $0.50 past that, the steepest overage on the list. eWaiverPro's Growth stops at 225 and its next plan doubles that, which is why the table names Growth Plus+.

A convention weekend, a flash day or a second piercer moves a shop across those lines, and on a signed-waiver meter the bill moves with it. On an artist meter the same weekend is a seat. The only 2 products on the list where a busy month costs what a quiet one did are the 2 that count nothing.

The 3 that are free

StabPad is free and says so on every page: a web form a piercer in Australia gives away, with the signed form going out by email and nothing kept on its server, which is the whole trade. Tattoo Studio Pro's forms app is free as a standalone, with no usage limit, beside the paid studio plans. WaiverForever's free plan is 20 submissions a month, which is about 2 days of a 300-a-month shop, and the plans above it start at $19 a month.

Free is a real price and 2 of these 3 are real products. What it buys is a form; what it does not buy is any of the next section.

What no pricing page says

None of the 9 pages says what the form asks. That is the question after the price, and in a tattoo shop it is the one the health inspector asks. 30 of the 51 states and DC add something to a standard consent form: a health question the rule names, a copy of the ID in the record, an emergency contact, the artist's own signature, which 10 states require in their own words. A form builder lets you build that. A form that ships knowing it is the thing the price is for.

Ours is 50 a year for the shop, unlimited waivers and unlimited artists, and the form opens with your state's questions on it. That is the whole pricing page, and it fits in a sentence on purpose.

Every number above was read at the vendor's own page on the date beside it, and the dates are there so you can check them against the page today. When a page changes, the date on this post changes with it.
