DO NOT PURCHASE A DEPOSIT IF YOU HAVE NOT FILLED OUT AN ONLINE CONSULT FORM AND SPOKEN TO AN ARTIST please and thank you :)

The “item” you are purchasing is a Non-refundable deposit for a custom tattoo by either James, Stina, Josh or Steph. Purchasing this deposit means that you agree to the terms below. Please make sure that you read this carefully, as it is NONrefundable. Please read the FAQ located on the appointment page, and the Tattoo page. DO NOT PURCHASE A DEPOSIT IF YOU HAVE NOT FILLED OUT AN ONLINE Appointment FORM, located on our website.

All deposits/ booking fees are non-refundable and holds your appointment.

• It will be deducted from the cost of your last appointment.

• If you have to cancel your appointment and can not rebook- the Deposit/ Booking fee goes toward administrative fees, drawing time, and consultation time for the artist. It will not be refunded for any reason at all. Please make sure you are able to be tattooed before leaving a deposit.

• It is not to purchase the artwork itself, but as a payment for the time spent discussing your ideas and planning your tattoo, booking, and administrative fees.

• If you must cancel, please give us at least 48 hours of notice.  (more would be preferable)

• If you cancel 48 hours (or more) ahead of time, you will not lose your deposit the first time. The second cancelation will result in a forfeit of the deposit.

• If you cancel within 48 hours, your deposit is forfeit and you’ll need to pay for your next appointment in advance to reschedule.

• If you no show/no call, you lose your deposit and you will have to leave a deposit in the amount of the entire tattoo, (or in the case of a large multiple session tattoo, $400) before we will reschedule you. 

• If you show up more than 15 minutes late, you lose your deposit.

• Please make sure that you are prepared to be tattooed, for the time that you have scheduled. (i.e.. on time, do not leave early, have the appropriate amount of money as agreed upon or the hourly rate for the hours that you are scheduled.)

• If you have a budget for the appointment, make sure to let us know while scheduling you so that there aren’t any miscommunications.

• If you don’t show up/call, disappear for 6 months etc… you’ll lose your deposit.

• If I feel like you don’t respect my time, or value my services, I will probably discontinue our work relationship.

•  If you cancel, consider if you think it would be a legitimate excuse for us to use on you. (i.e.. you get offered double time to work instead.  Would you think it’s acceptable to cancel our appointment because another client offered me more money than you did, despite our scheduled appointment?)

Please understand that these rules might seem harsh, but we are a very small business and your tattooer and you work one on one.  Please consider that your cancelation may cause someone a day of work.  We all understand that there are occasionally emergencies and legitimate reasons, but we will do our absolute best to be there and ready to work, and we ask that you will too.

You must be 18 to get a tattoo, no exceptions, thanks! 
DO NOT SHOW UP WITH A SUNBURN!
