DO YOU REQUIRE A DEPOSIT FOR TATTOOS?
Yes, in order to schedule an appointment we require all clients to leave anywhere from $50.00-250.00 deposit to secure their appointment time and/or to have custom art drawn up.
This deposit will be deducted from the final cost of your tattoo or comission. If your tattoo require multiple sessions, the deposit will be deducted at the last session. If you decide the design is not for you after your consultation or you decide you no longer want the tattoo, the deposit will be considered a drawing fee, and will cover the artist’s time for drawing your design.
If the appointment needs to be rescheduled, 48 hours notice must be given or the deposit will be forfeited.
All deposits are non-refundable, but we can move them over as long as you give us enough notice.
WHEN DO I GET TO SEE THE DESIGN FOR MY TATTOO?
You will see the design for your tattoo the day of your appointment. If there are any minor changes that need to be made to your design, they will be made that day. If you would like to see your design sooner than that, please communicate this to your artist, although we can only guarantee that you will see your drawing the day of.
