- Deposit: Your deposit comes off the final price of the tattoo. It covers the drawing time before you ever sit down.
- Cancellation: Reschedule at least 48 hours ahead and your deposit moves with you. No-shows and late cancellations forfeit the deposit.
- Health and safety: I use single-use needles, fresh gloves, and sealed pigments for every client. My station is cleaned and sterilized between appointments.
