Deposit and Billing Policy
At the end of your consultation, I take a non-refundable $150 deposit to secure your appointment spots and start working on your design to the remaining balance to one hour of the my rate, or more at my discretion for large-scale designs. Thank you for your cooperation in this as short notice changes to my schedule cause me to lose tattooing and drawing time, when other clients are waiting for availabilities as well. I truly appreciate your understanding.
Deposit Policy
A tattoo deposit is paid after a consultation with an artist to begin work on a tattoo design, and to hold a tattoo appointment thereafter. The amount of the deposit plus the remaining balance to one hour of the artist's hourly rate.
In reading this agreement I acknowledge and agree as follows: All tattoo deposits are non-refundable.
Upon paying a deposit I acknowledge that I have communicated my tattoo design idea to the artist to my satisfaction, and have reviewed the artist's prior works to decide that the artist can implement my idea to my satisfaction. I understand that creating a tattoo design based on a client's concept is subjective, and that variations may exist between my concept and the finished design. If the finished design is not to my liking, a minor changes will be made at the artist's discretion. However, I understand that substantial changes to the design or the request of an entirely new drawing or draft will require a new deposit, and the original deposit will be forfeited as payment for the artist's drawing time.
I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to promptly provide the artist with my availability and to follow through with a phone call appointment immediately after changing my mind on the tattoo design following our original agreement made during our initial video call meeting. If I continue to change my availability and fail to reach out to the artist promptly to revise the design, the artist may not be able to hold the date/time slot available, as another client may have paid for their tattoo appointment with a finalized design.
Drawings or drafts will be emailed the day before their scheduled appointment time.
A deposit will also be forfeited in full in the case of:
I do not appear for a tattoo appointment;
I cancel or reschedule an appointment without giving at least 72 hours notice;
I arrive more than 10 minutes late to a tattoo appointment;
I reschedule 2nd time after the free 1st for any sessions of the same tattoo or new tattoo.
I fail to reschedule a new appointment within 72 hours of a cancelled appointment;
I arrive to a tattoo appointment without government-issued identification.
I show up sick (COVID, Flu, fever, etc).
Billing Policy
I understand that I will be billed at the artist’s current hourly rate, starting at my scheduled appointment time, for all tattooing and tattooing related services, including, but not limited to:
Time used to edit or resize the tattoo design if needed;
Time used to apply tattoo stencils to the body;
Time used to assemble tattoo equipment and open sanitary supplies in front of me, or to replenish necessary supplies during the tattoo session;
All breaks during the tattoo appointment requested by me;
Lateness on my part of 1-10 minutes for any reason.
Any touch-up work needed as a result of negligent aftercare of the tattoo, or any touch-up work requested 6 months or more after the initial application of the tattoo.
“Your tattoo is the mirror of your soul.”
