If you are thinking of booking please read through this page carefully before committing to an appointment.

Cancellation & Refund policy

A client may cancel without penalty if they do so 7 days or more BEFORE the scheduled appointment. Cancelling the week of an appointment for ANY reason is considered short notice and will result in either a partial refund or the loss of the deposit. :

  • Cancelling within 7 days of the appointment date will result in a $20 fee taken from refund.

  • Cancelling within 4 days of the appointment will result in only half of the deposit being refunded.

  • Cancelling 48 hours before the appointment will VOID the deposit. No refund will be given

What is the deposit paying for?

The deposit is a down payment on an agreed upon design. The money is applied to the total price of the tattoo and holds the appointment slot for customers. It also pays for the drawing and design portion of the tattoo process. The artist will send sketches to their client, (usually a few days before the appointment) to make sure they are happy with it. Any alterations may be made at this time as well.

How much does a deposit cost?

The price of a deposit can vary depending on the complexity of the design. Generally smaller pieces will be $60 and larger pieces $100.
