POLICY

FIRST SESSION

Every first session includes stencil time and a mandatory one hour charge for prep. This is built into the process — it’s what ensures the design is properly placed and ready before we start.

DEPOSITS

Deposits range from $250–$500 depending on project size. They are non-refundable and remain on file until the final session of your project. Deposits cover design time and hold your appointment.

Cancellations with less than 5 days notice, no-shows, or same-day cancellations forfeit the deposit.

If you change your concept after leaving a deposit, a new deposit is required. Have your details decided before you commit.

Appointments may be rescheduled up to two times. After that, a new deposit is required to rebook.

PAYMENT

Cash preferred. We do not show designs prior to your appointment.

Quotes are estimates based on size, placement, and detail — final cost may vary. Rates may increase over time. Contact us to confirm pricing before your appointment.

TOUCH-UPS & COVER-UPS

One complimentary touch-up within 6 months of your healed tattoo. Touch-ups beyond that are charged at the full hourly rate. Cover-up touch-ups are charged in full regardless of timing.

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

Don’t tan or sunburn the area being tattooed. Avoid skincare products (retinol, acids, exfoliants) on the area for at least 2 weeks prior. Wear clothing that allows easy access to the area. Eat a full meal before your appointment.

NUMBING

Please ask about numbing cream in advance. Numbing is not available for first sessions and may not be suitable for all placements.

LATE ARRIVALS

Arriving more than 20 minutes late may result in a rescheduled appointment and forfeiture of your deposit.
