Appointment and Deposit Policies

1. Deposits

  • The deposit rate is $200.

  • All deposits are non-refundable (no exceptions).

  • Deposits will be applied to the price of the tattoo. In the case of multiple session pieces, the deposit will be deducted from the last session.

  • Deposits are non-transferable to any other person, project, or artist.

2. Rescheduling

  • Please notify your artist as soon as possible if you need to reschedule.

  • If an appointment is cancelled or rescheduled within 72 hours of the appointment time, the deposit is forfeit. Rescheduling from this point will require a new deposit.

  • If due to unforeseen circumstances the artist must reschedule the appointment, all deposits remain valid.

  • Rescheduling the same appointment 3 times or more will result in forfeit of deposit.


3. Running Late/No Shows

  • If you are running late to an appointment, please call the shop ahead of time to notify the artist. An excessive delay may result in rescheduling and loss of deposit.

  • Failure to show up for an appointment with no notice will forfeit the deposit. Scheduling a new appointment will require a new deposit, which may be larger at the discretion of the artist.

4. Drawing Requirements

  • If the project requires any specific imagery or information for drawing purposes, this must be provided to the artist more than 48 hours from your appointment time, or you will be charged for drawing time at the artist's current hourly rate.

  • A rough sketch of your tattoo design will be sent to you via email at least 48 hours from your appointment time. Please let the artist know as soon as possible of any requested changes to the artwork. A final draft will be ready to review at your appointment, and any further minor changes can be made then.

5. Health and Readiness

  • Clients that arrive visibly ill, intoxicated, sunburnt, or otherwise unfit to be tattooed will not be tattooed. Standing deposit will be forfeit and a new deposit will be required to reschedule.
