Policies
Deposits:
A $100 Non-refundable deposit is due at the time of booking unless otherwise discussed. The deposit is applied towards the cost of the tattoo when completed. Deposits cannot be transferred from one individual to another (ie from one spouse/sibling/friend to another). The deposit can be transferred to a new appointment ONE time with 48 hours notice.
Tardiness/No Show:
I budget 15 minutes of extra time into tattoo appointments for tardiness, and ask that you notify me if you are running late. If you are more than 15 minutes late, we may need to reschedule. By notifying me in advance, you give me extra time to adjust my day so that my later clients’ time is respected.
-Virtual meetings: I will wait up to 10 minutes on a video call before ending the meeting.
NO CALL NO SHOW: NO RESCHEDULE.
Cancellations and reschedules:
WINTER POLICY (Nov-Jan): All cancellations will require a new deposit. Hear me out- Winter is a busy time for everyone. Your schedule can turn on a dime due to outside demands. Last minute cancellations and reschedules this time of year are incredibly difficult (Honestly, near- impossible). I ask that you do not schedule in these months unless you are completely committed, or are willing to leave a new deposit if you need to reschedule/cancel.
February-October:
Reschedules with 48 hour notice can transfer their deposit to one additional appointment. Further reschedules will require an additional deposit. Cancellations with 48 hour notice can potentially move their deposit to a “hold” status depending on reason for cancelling. Acceptable reasons are- loss of employment, family emergency, pregnancy, serious illness. Cancellation of a project outright with no intent to continue will result in a loss of deposit.
Artwork Creation:
Artwork is provided for review on the day of your appointment. Extra time is allocated into every appointment to discuss the artwork and make minor changes. If changes requested require a total redraw of the artwork, the scheduled appointment will pivot to a more in depth consultation and a new appointment will be selected for a future date to start the tattoo. To ensure that this is not the case, please include as much information about your idea as you can in your initial contact form. This helps to streamline the process and get you tattooed sooner than later.
