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, I 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. HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO GET A TATTOO? You must be 18 years old and have proper identification. You must bring state or federal photo ID every time you come in for any tattoo. If you arrive for a tattoo appointment without proper ID, you will not get tattooed and you will unfortunately lose your deposit. Acceptable forms of ID include: driver’s license, state issued non-driver ID card, military ID or passport. DO YOU TAKE WALK-INS? I rarely have time for walk-in appointments. Sometimes I have cancellations though, and when that happens I will post on Instagram with a pre-drawn design I’m interested in doing for a same-day appointment. PRICE/BUDGET I know it’s hard for clients to guess how much something will cost. I do many smaller, one session tattoos at a flat rate starting at $45/hr and going up from there depending on placement and complexity of the design. For larger and/or multiple session projects, the studio rate is $150/hour with a 2 to 3 hour minimum depending on the size/detail. If you have a strict budget, please let me know. However, a strict budget will affect the overall size, and detail of your tattoo.
