## Policies

- Booking: Send me your idea, placement, and rough size. I confirm requests within a couple of days, and a deposit locks in your appointment.
- 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.

## Booking

Booking with Duke happens on TattMe. Describe the tattoo idea, add reference photos if you have them, choose the placement, size, timing, and budget, and send a request; no service or date is picked up front. Duke accepts with a price and deposit, then the client confirms a date and time and pays the deposit through the platform to hold the appointment. The deposit goes to the artist and counts toward the final cost of the tattoo.
