A non-refundable Tattoo Design & Deposit fee are required to secure your appointment and cover the time dedicated to custom design work. I begin the design process two weeks prior to your scheduled appointment date. 
To ensure your design can be completed on time, all design ideas, references, and final concepts must be submitted before this two week cut off period begins. 
 
Changes requested during the two-week window before your appointment may result in cancellation, loss of the Tattoo Deposit & Design Fee, the need to rebook with a new Tattoo Deposit & Design Fee. 
 
Design review - Designs are typically prepared in the two weeks leading up two your appointment. If you would like to see your design before the day of your tattoo, please request it as early as possible within that two-week window. 
Last minute requests (such as asking to see the design the night before your appointment) do not allow enough time for revisions and may impact your session. I want you to feel confident and excited about your design, so timely communication is essential. 
  

If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please request this prior to the two-week cut off period before your appointment. Cancelling or rescheduling within two weeks of your appointment will result in the forfeit of your Tattoo Deposit + Design fee, and a new deposit will be required to secure a future date. This is because the Tattoo Deposit & Design Fee covers my time researching, designing and planning your tattoo. 
 
Exceptions: 
If I am unable to attend your appointment due to illness or other unforeseen circumstances, and i cancel or reschedule within the two-week period, you will be offered either a new appointment date or a full refund of your Tattoo Deposit & Design Fee. 

Please be aware that any additional changes to the tattoo design, placement or size requested within two weeks of the appointment date or on the day of the tattoo may incur extra charges. 
I aim to be as transparent as possible regarding any additional costs. These will be clearly discussed with you in advance. 
No further work will be carried out until both parties understand and agree to the revised price. 

The Tattoo Application Fee is a flat rate to be paid at the appointment. This flat rate covers the tattooing session itself, covering all materials and equipment used, application of the tattoo, and aftercare advice, and any other work required to complete the tattoo application. This is based on the complexity, size and time required to complete the tattoo. I do not charge hourly rates (with the exception of large scale ongoing work.)

All clients are required to complete a consent form before their tattoo appointment. This includes disclosing any relevant medical conditions or health concerns that may affect the tattoo process. This information is confidential and ensures your safety and wellbeing. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact me. 
Clients must also provide valid photo ID to verify their age. You must be at least 18 years old to receive a tattoo - no exceptions will be made. 

For health and safety reasons, you cannot be tattooed if you are pregnant or breast feeding, immunocompromised, or have any other serious medical condition that may affect healing and increase risk of complications. If you currently have a infectious illness such as flu, respiratory infection, Covid 19 etc, please contact me to rearrange your appointment. You will not be able to get tattooed if you turn up unwell. You cannot be tattooed on an area of skin which currently has an open wound, eczema or psoriasis, rashes, or sunburn. You cannot be tattooed if you have an active infection of any kind. If any of the above applies to you or you have concerns, please contact me. 
It is illegal to tattoo anybody under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If you turn up under the influence of either of these, you will be turned away and banned from booking in future.
