Yeah but I felt like being a bastard and having to make her pay for it. XD
Can't control what you choose to do if you are the GM. Though I do disagree with the ruling you made, and wouldn't because it is detracting from 1 character's wealth due to their class levels, and seems unfair. Still, rule as you wish I suppose.

I'm not sure to what you're referring: the Familiar that is able to turn into a tattoo at will, or the Bonus Feat Varisian Tattoo?
The first isn't any different than calling as a Familiar one of the Kami that can turn into masks,
and isn't any different than taking a level in Wizard that also grants a Familiar, or Carnivalist Rogue,
or one can gain a Familiar via Eldritch Heritage Feat or other similar options.
The second isn't different than taking the feat normally,
except that it is a bonus feat, like Wizards get Scribe Scroll or Fighters get a Combat Feat.
None of those things normally present a problem or demand to be 'paid for'. What is the difference here?
Varisian Tattoo (Feat, which this grants for free) is not a magical tattoo that has any fixed cost, you can't buy it, so why should they pay for it?
It's reasonable enough to treat it as a MUNDANE tattoo (1gp?) that merely requires a Feat to magically activate.
The famliar part is just like gaining a familiar any other way,
except this has a special power, just like other familiars/companions may have special powers.
