MajorInk901✓ VERIFIED ARTIST

A non-refundable deposit, also referred to as a "booking fee", is required to book an appointment at MAJORINK901 The amount of the booking fee/deposit is set by the individual artist and is based upon the size of your tattoo project. • Appointment deposit/booking fees are non-refundable, and non-transferable between artists in the studio or between clients. • The booking fee is valid for 12 months. • If you need to reschedule/cancel your appointment, you must provide 48 hours' notice to avoid paying another booking fee. • The booking fee will be held as payment towards the last session of the tattoo. • Upon paying a booking fee you acknowledge that you have communicated your tattoo design idea to the artist to your satisfaction, and you have reviewed the artist's prior works to determine that the artist can implement your idea to your satisfaction. However, please understand that if you request substantial changes to the design, or request an entirely new drawing or draft, it will require a new booking fee, and the original booking fee will be forfeited as payment for the artist's drawing time and/or lost tattoo appointment time. Please understand that creating a tattoo design based on a client's concept is subjective, and that variations may exist between the concept and the finished design. If the finished design is not to your liking, minor changes may be made at the artist's discretion. In most cases drawings, drafts, or concepts will not be emailed or otherwise previewed to clients before their scheduled appointment time. Drawings, drafts, concepts, and finished tattoos are the legal intellectual property of the artist. A BOOKING FEE/DEPOSIT WILL BE FORFEITED UPON THESE CIRCUMSTANCES: • You cancel or reschedule a scheduled appointment without giving at least 48 hours’ notice. • NO CALL/NO SHOW. You may not be allowed to reschedule without reasonable explanation. If you're allowed to reschedule, your deposit may be significantly larger. • You arrived 30 minutes late to a scheduled tattoo appointment. • You reschedule 3 times for any sessions of the same tattoo, regardless of notice. • You arrive under the influence of drugs or alcohol. • You arrive without government-issued identification. • You made a major change to the design that was discussed at the consultation. Modifications and simple changes are usually no problem and can be done rather quickly. Adding new elements to your design last minute or changing to a new idea is a major change. • You arrive with any skin condition in the area that may affect the tattoo process. This includes but is not limited to: contact dermatitis, rash, acne, jaundice, sunburned or peeling skin, lacerations, scratches, burns, blisters, etc... • You arrive with any numbing agent applied to the area to be tattooed without consulting your artist first. Use of pre-numbing agents can negatively affect the quality of your tattoo. Pre-numbing agents are manufactured with little to no restrictions from the government. Many products on the market are not trustworthy and contain illegal amounts of lidocaine. Lidocaine overdose is real. You may purchase Bactine Max at your local drug or grocery store and bring it with you. • You arrive with any symptoms of illness. *Staying in communication with your artist when problems arise can be very helpful to avoid forfeiture of your deposit. We are also human, we make mistakes, we get sick, and life throws the same problems at us. APPOINTMENT & DEPOSIT POLICY To secure the appointment time and date offered to you, a deposit is required. Deposits cover lost wages, drawing time and time that may have gone to another client in the event of a cancellation or no show. In essence, we share the loss if you are unable to attend your scheduled appointment. Your deposit will be applied the day that your tattoo is completed. All deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable. The remaining cost of your tattoo or fee per session for multiple session projects must be paid the day of your appointment. If you choose to go with a different design than what was agreed upon at the time of booking, your deposit will serve as a drawing fee for the work involved in preparing the original design and you will be required to leave a new deposit for your new design request.  If you need to reschedule your appointment, your deposit will be transferred unless you give less than 72 hours notice.  In that case, your deposit will be forfeit and you will need to leave a new deposit to get back on the calendar. This policy includes, but is not limited to, cancellations or requests to reschedule for any reason, any kind of illness or family emergency, car/transportation issues, weather/driving conditions, childcare issues, pet illness or financial crisis. Rescheduled appointments must be within 60 days of the original appointment time.  If you request to reschedule a second time for the same tattoo regardless notice given, you will be required to pay a deposit equal to the total remaining balance of your tattoo, so you are paid in full upon scheduling, or I may decide at my discretion, to discontinue working on your project altogether. 
In the event you need to to cancel your appointment due to pregnancy, you will need to make a new deposit when you are ready to get tattooed again. In the event that you need to cancel your appointment entirely,  your deposit will be forfeited. No call/no shows will not be rescheduled. Touch ups are free of charge if scheduled within 90 days of the completion of tattoo. Touch ups scheduled after that time will be charged studio minimum. If you cancel, request to reschedule or no show a complimentary touch up or follow up appointment in which there is no deposit, you will be required to leave a deposit to rebook and will be charged a one hour minimum studio rate for your time in the chair. 
By scheduling an appointment and/or making a deposit you are agreeing to these terms which are legally binding and enforceable.   ARRIVING LATE Please be sure to arrive for your appointment on time. Since appointments are booked back to back, arriving late disrupts the schedule, cuts into the next clients time and/or does not allow me enough time to finish your tattoo. Clients who are more than 15 minutes late will be considered a late cancellation and a new deposit will be required to reschedule. Remember to plan ahead for traffic, bad driving conditions etc. MULTIPLE SESSIONS Large scale, multiple session tattoos take commitment by both the artist and the client. Appointments are scheduled every 4 to 6 weeks until the project is completed. Please be sure you are prepared to follow through before making this commitment. While rescheduling is discouraged, we understand that sometimes things come up that are out of your control. Rescheduled appointments must be within 60 days of the original appointment time or your deposit will be forfeit and you will be required to leave another deposit to continue. Projects that are not continued after a 60 day period will be considered abandoned. WEATHER CANCELLATIONS We recognize that appointments may need to be rescheduled due to weather conditions. However, due to time constraints in scheduling, weather cancellations will be avoided if at all possible. In the case of a travel ban,  we will reschedule and your deposit will go to the rescheduled date. If a client chooses to cancel and there are no issued travel bans,  the deposit will be forfeit and a new deposit will be required to reschedule. Basically, if other businesses are open, so are we and you are expected to show up.
