Non-Refundable Policy / Terms & Conditions

1. Deposit Requirement:

A non-refundable deposit of $100 + tax is required to reserve your appointment. This deposit will be deducted from the total cost of your tattoo. For multiple sittings, the deposit will be applied to the final session. All payments, including deposits and design fees, are non-refundable.

2. Changes and Cancellations:

To make changes to your appointment or cancel without losing your deposit, please provide us with at least 72 hours' notice. Failure to do so, or if you fail to show up for your appointment, will result in the deposit being forfeited. In such cases, a new deposit will be required to reschedule.

3. Design Fees:

For custom tattoos, a design fee ranging from $20 to $60 applies. This fee covers the artist's time spent creating the original design. If you request changes to the subject matter of the tattoo after the design has been drawn, the design fee will compensate for the artist's work on the original design.

4. Additional Design Changes:

If more than three changes or adjustments are requested, a new design fee may be required to compensate the artist for additional drawing time. Your artist will inform you of any additional charges based on the situation.

5. Late Arrivals:

If you arrive late and need to reschedule, the deposit will be forfeited. A new deposit will be required to set up another appointment.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

PREPARING FOR YOUR TATTOO

To ensure the best experience and outcome for your tattoo, please follow these important guidelines:

1. Avoid Alcohol:

Please refrain from drinking alcohol within 24 hours before your appointment. Alcohol can cause excessive bleeding, swelling, and increased pain during the tattooing process.

2. Stay Hydrated and Rested:

Drink plenty of water leading up to your appointment. Ensure you get a good night’s sleep and eat a nutritious meal within 5 hours of your appointment. Proper hydration and rest will help your skin and body handle the tattooing process better.

3. Long Sittings:

If your tattoo session is expected to be lengthy, consider bringing a pillow and a light blanket for added comfort during your appointment.

4. Avoid Certain Medications:

Do not take acetaminophen or ibuprofen before your appointment. These medications can lead to excessive bleeding and increase the risk of fainting during the tattoo process.

5. Guest Policy:

If you wish to bring additional guests or children under the age of 16 to your appointment, please consult with your tattoo artist beforehand to ensure we can accommodate them appropriately.

Thank you for your cooperation! We look forward to creating your tattoo with you.

PREPARATION

AFTERCARE

1. Bandage Care:

Leave the bandage on for the duration recommended by your artist, which is a minimum of 2 hours.

2. Cleaning the Tattoo:

Once the recommended time has passed, wash your hands thoroughly before removing the bandage. Shower and gently clean the tattooed area with mild soap until the water runs clear.

3. Drying the Tattoo:

Gently pat the tattoo and surrounding area dry with a clean towel. Avoid rubbing the area to prevent irritation.

4. Moisturizing:

Wait until the tattooed area is completely dry before applying a water-based, unscented lotion. Consult with your artist for their specific recommendations on aftercare products. Reapply the lotion as needed to keep the tattoo moisturized.

5. Avoiding Irritation:

For the first 2 weeks, avoid exposing your new tattoo to direct sunlight and do not submerge it in water, such as swimming pools, hot tubs, or baths.

By following these steps, you’ll help ensure your tattoo heals properly and maintains its quality. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact your tattoo artist.
