Make Your Tattoo Possible with Monthly Payment Plans

Large-scale tattoos are an investment of both time and money , and for many clients, the price can feel like the biggest obstacle. Too often, people put off the tattoo they’ve always wanted because the upfront cost feels overwhelming.

At Zen Tattoo Studio, we believe no one should have to wait. That’s why we’re one of the few studios in Toronto and the GTA to offer flexible monthly payment plans.

Our financing options allow you to:

  • Start Now, Pay Later – begin your sleeve, back, or body suit without saving for months or years.

  • Monthly Payments – tailored towards a low monthly payment structure, with clear terms

  • Invest in What Matters – your tattoo is a lifelong work of art, and financing ensures you can get it when what by who you want.

 FAQs

  • No — you don’t need to come in with a finished design. Bring any ideas, references, or inspiration you have, and our team will help refine them into a custom piece. And if you don’t have anything in mind yet, that’s okay too. We’ll sit down with you, get to know you on a personal level, and learn the story, meaning, or message you want to capture. From there, we’ll help bring a visual idea to life that’s uniquely yours.

  • All tattoos naturally fade about 30% during the healing process — this is completely normal. On our page, you’ll often see fresh tattoos that may look darker because they haven’t healed yet.

Our goal is for your tattoo to heal beautifully the first time, so you don’t need a second pass to bring it back to life.
