POLICIES

To provide you with the best possible experience, I maintain clear and transparent guidelines for all appointments. Read through my complete studio policies, including details on non-refundable deposits, 18+ photo ID verification, and rescheduling windows. These policies protect my time as an artist and your investment in custom body art.

AGE REQIUREMENT

You must be 18 years of age or older at the time of your appointment. A valid, government-issued photo ID (driver's license, passport, etc.) is strictly required before the tattoo process begins. No minors are permitted, even with parental consent.

MANDATORY CONSENT FORM

Every client is strictly required to read, fill out, and sign a digital or physical Tattoo Intake & Consent Form prior to their session. This form acts as a legal waiver covering health disclosures, procedural risks, and the permanent nature of the service. Tattooing will not commence until this document is fully completed.

HOURLY RATE

My current rate is $175 per hour. This rate applies to active tattooing time and necessary stencil placement. An accurate price estimate will be provided via email after reviewing your booking form.

DEPOSITS + PREFERRED PAYMENT METHODS

To secure your booking date and time, a non-refundable deposit is required. This deposit holds your spot on my calendar and goes directly toward the final cost of your tattoo on the day of your session. Under no circumstances will the deposit be refunded. I accept multiple payment methods for deposits, but Venmo is highly preferred.

STRICT NO REFUNDS POLICY

All sales and services are final. No refunds will be issued under any circumstances for completed tattoo work. Payment covers my specialized labor, single-use sterile supplies, time, and custom design artistry. If you have any concerns about how your tattoo has healed, please refer to my touch-up policy.

RESCHEDULING POLICY

If you need to reschedule your appointment, I require a minimum of 72 hours notice. Your deposit can be transferred to a new date one time only, provided the notice is given within this timeframe. Rescheduling multiple times will require a new deposit.

CANCELLATIONS + LATE POLICY

If you cancel your appointment completely, your deposit is automatically forfeited. Please arrive on time. If you are running late, please send an email or message. Arriving more than 15 minutes late without notice may result in a canceled session and a forfeited deposit.

24-HOUR FORFEIT RULE

Canceling, rescheduling, or changing your appointment date within 24 hours of your scheduled time will result in an immediate forfeit of your deposit. A brand-new deposit will be required to get back on my calendar.

GUEST + STUDIO SPACE LIMITS

Because my studio is a small, intimate workspace, space is strictly limited. A maximum of two guests are allowed to accompany you to your appointment. Additionally, no children are allowed under any circumstances to ensure a safe and distraction-free environment.

TOUCH-UP POLICY

I offer one hour of free touch-up work within six months of your original appointment. After six months, or if the touch-up takes longer than one hour, my rate is $30 per hour. All touch-ups are performed at my discretion, and clear pictures of the healed tattoo are required before scheduling.

Please note that my one-hour free touch-up policy is strictly contingent upon following this official aftercare guide. If a tattoo requires touching up due to negligence—such as premature bandage removal, heavy sweating, picking, scratching, sun damage, or submersion in water—the free touch-up is void. In these cases, my standard $30 per hour touch-up rate will apply immediately.
