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. The tattoo artist has the right to have a one-time free reschedule due to an emergency situation or being sick. If being sick, the artist will reach out as soon as she recovers.

Drawings or drafts will be emailed or texted the day before their scheduled appointment time.

💰 Deposits & Cancellations

A non-refundable deposit is required to book. It goes toward your total tattoo cost and secures your appointment.

Your deposit will be forfeited if:

• You no-show or are more than 10 minutes late

• You cancel or reschedule due to a change of mind, plans, or finances

• You reschedule more than once, even if you're sick

• You don’t reschedule within 72 hours after canceling due to illness

• You arrive sick (COVID, flu, fever, etc.)

Sick once? You’re allowed one free reschedule due to illness, but you must:

• Notify me 48 hours before your appointment

• Rebook within 72 hours

• You come without a valid government-issued photo ID

Minimum Age

• You must be 18+ years old

• A valid government-issued photo ID is required

• No exceptions — even with parental consent

How to Prepare

• Eat before your session

• Stay hydrated

• No alcohol or blood thinners (like aspirin) 24 hours before

👥 Guest Policy

🖌️ Design Finalization

• Custom designs are finalized and sent to you 1 day before your appointment

• Minor edits are okay on the day before the session

• Major changes or redesigns are not accepted at the last minute

Tattoo Artist Reschedule Clause:

• In the event of an emergency or illness, the tattoo artist reserves the right to reschedule your appointment one time. In such cases, your deposit will not be refunded but will be fully applied to the rescheduled session. If the artist is sick, she will reach out as soon as she has recovered to arrange a new date.

  Please understand that your deposit not only secures your appointment—preventing other clients from booking that time—but also covers the time and effort spent creating your custom tattoo design. Your health and safety are a top priority, and the artist is deeply committed to providing focused, high-quality work. Because your tattoo is a lifelong piece of art on your body, she will only proceed when she’s able to give it the full attention and care it deserves.

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 3 months or more after the initial application of the tattoo.
