Policies

  • Deposits

    Deposits must be paid before any sketch or design work begins. An initial deposit of a minimum of $100 covers the consultation and conceptual design stages. Additional deposits to a maximum of $500 go towards the cost of the tattoo. Deposits are non-refundable. Deposits can be applied to future appointments and are transferrable, less the initial design fee.

    Once I start a concept design, additional changes are negotiable.

    Minimum charge tattoos include concept and design.

  • Cancellation

    Appointments can be rescheduled up to 48 hours in advance. Appointments changed less that 48 hours in advance are subject to a $180 missed appointment charge.

    1 -hr. minimum charge ($180)

    Billing for tattooing starts at setup and finishes at teardown.
