Preparation

•IF YOU CHANGE YOUR INSTAGRAM HANDLE, LET MY ASSISTANT OR MYSELF KNOW. I can’t search for you to discuss anything appointment related if you don’t show up when I search for the handle you booked with.

•Please make sure to take the day off and do not have any plans that coincide closely with the tattoo appointment.  The process takes a while and putting a time constraint on that is never a good idea.

• as a reminder, my hourly is $250/hour, and my minimum is $500, (If your rate was DIfferent when you booked, it will be honored at the old rate)

•time estimates given to your tattoo Session are loose estimates. If your tattoo was estimated to take 3 hours, but it takes 4 hours, your tattoo will be priced at 4 hours.

•moisturize the tattoo area several times a day in the week leading up to the appointment. It makes the session shorter and makes it hurt less, to put it simply.

•DO NOT GET Another TATTOO LESS THAN 2 weeks before your appointment with me. I may postpone your appointment if you have a fresh tattoo.

•do not shave the tattoo area prior to the appointment if it’s an area you don’t usually sHave. If there is a lot of hair in the area, please trim the area to make shaving easier.

•Hydrate properly before the appointment, and feel free to bring a water bottle to the appointment.

•Please avoid drinking alcohol the night before / right before your appointment, as it thins your blood, which leads to excess bleeding and several other negative issues with the tattooing process.

TERMS

  • Please be sure to park in the Cakelly plaza parking lot to the right of the building.

  • Please do not show up early, as i may be still setting up or with another client; please do not be late, as it interferes with my scheduling

  • NO PETS ALLOWED, absolutely no exceptions.

 

Late Arrival

You are expected to be on time to your appointment at the time and date discussed and verified with my assistant. If you are running late to your appointment, please let me know as soon as possible.  I understand that things happen, and sometimes you don’t make your ETA, therefore a grace period of 15 minutes will be granted to every appointment (special exceptions may allow for a longer grace period, however it is up to my discretion).

If later than 15 minutes, deposit will be forfeited, even if tattoo session is still honored. Tattoo session may be cancelled if client is late since it would make me late for my following appointment.

Rescheduling

Should you find yourself in a situation in which you cannot make your appointment, please inform me as soon as possible so I can plan accordingly.  Don’t worry too much about it, life happens.  I ask, however, that at least a 7 day notice be given, otherwise your deposit will be forfeited. I only allow one reschedule. If a new rate has taken effect, you will be moved to the new rate along with the reschedule.

Cancellation

If appointment is cancelled, your deposit will be forfeited and your design will be available for someone else to claim.  Should you want to schedule another appointment, another deposit will have to be made.  The same rules apply to no-shows.

If an appointment is cancelled a second time, I will no longer accept booking requests from you. If a no-show occurs, I will no longer accept booking requests from you.

Design Change

If you decide you want to change your design, I need at least a one week notice. Please keep in mind that it’s possible I won’t be comfortable with the design request and may deny it, at which point we can choose to either cancel the appointment or continue with the old design. I will only allow designs to be changed one time, since constant changing of designs is not conducive to a smooth booking process. Thank you.

Feel free to message me with any questions you may have.
