policies, terms & conditions
pricing
I charge a flat fee for each design which is determined by the intricacy of the design, its size, and placement on the body. The time required to complete the tattoo is also considered while determining the price. Payment is expected at the end of each session or at the end of the final session for larger projects. Please note that the final cost of your tattoo is subject to change depending on various factors.
deposits
A booking fee (commonly referred to as a deposit) is required to schedule an appointment with me. ALL appointments require a booking fee to be scheduled. Booking fees are ABSOLUTELY NON-REFUNDABLE. Booking fees are subtracted from the final price of your tattoo. Booking fees do not roll over or transfer.
cancellations
Any cancellations, as well as no-shows, forfeit the booking fee. When an appointment is canceled for any reason you forfeit your deposit. If you do not show up for your appointment, you forfeit your deposit. All no-shows are recorded and your name will be flagged for missing appointments. If you are flagged and do not show up a second time, you will be banned from making appointments online.
rescheduling
One reschedule is permitted per deposit before 48 hours of the scheduled appointment. Additional rescheduling, or rescheduling less than 48 hours of the scheduled appointment time will forfeit the booking fee and require you to make a new appointment. *Accommodations may be made for certain circumstances such as medical or family emergencies.
Please allocate a MINIMUM of 2 hours for “Small Pieces” sessions, 4 hours for “Half Day” sessions, and 6 hours for “Full Day” sessions. This time includes the creation and possible alterations of the design/stencil, the setup of the station, the tattoo application itself, taking photos of the finished work, wrapping up your tattoo, and the payment process. My booking options when scheduling online reflect this timing standard.
timing
If I am able, I will create your design before your appointment, but this is not always possible, so your design may be drawn at the time of your appointment. With some designs, I prefer to draw directly into the skin rather than making a stencil. No drawings or drafts will be emailed or otherwise previewed to clients before their scheduled appointment time. The design is the intellectual property of the artist until it is applied to your body, regardless of the booking fee. Upon paying the booking fee, it is assumed that you have reviewed my prior works to decide that I will be able to implement your ideas to your liking, and all design ideas should be fully communicated to your satisfaction. While minor alterations to the design are expected, substantial changes to your design ideas or requesting a completely different tattoo after the design has been created will require a new booking fee, and the original booking fee will be forfeited as payment for the time spent drawing the original design.
