Tattoo Policy:
These policies about deposits, rescheduling, canceling, designs, etc are in place to protect myself as an artist and to honor both of our times. Below, I go into extensive detail in order to make my policies super transparent for each client! These policies are set in place to create healthy boundaries.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't be afraid to email me at sovostudios.co@gmail.com. Sorry, I do not communicate through DMs!
My policies are stated down below, please note that when you submit this form you are accepting/agreeing to my policies and terms if you choose to book an appointment with me after I reach out to your with your quote. If you do not agree to any of these terms, I kindly ask that you do not inquire as I may not be the right artist for you.
Pricing
My minimum is $100 for an appointment.
- Please note that pricing will increase and is subject to change based on design complexity, size, color, and placement.
- I typically charge per piece which accounts for designing, tattoo time, size, and materials. However, I recommend getting multiple tattoos for a bundle discount if you have a few in mind.
- One free touch up is included in the price and must be claimed within 1 year.
Reschedule, Cancelation, Late, and No Show Policy
Due to other scheduling commitments, it may be necessary to cancel your appointment if you are more than 10 mins late. If you are late resulting in a cancellation, you will lose your deposit and a new one will be required to book again. There may be a possibility for a reduced time instead but you will still be charged for the original service amount.
I understand things come up but if need be please try your best to cancel/reschedule your appointment 48 hours in advance. Your deposit can be transferred to a later date/time if you do so accordingly but please keep in mind that you must email me ahead of time in order to have your appointment officially canceled/rescheduled prior to the 48 hour deadline. Failure to do so will result in losing your deposit and a new one will be required to book again. Please keep in mind that reschedules will be based on current availability and you are allowed up to 1 reschedule with the same deposit before a new one is required.
Please keep in mind that reschedules may NOT be guaranteed because I don't live in California anymore so my availability is super limited.
If you no show me you are not allowed to book with me again and you lose your deposit.
Please note that there will not be any refunds on deposits or last minute rescheduling without a new one under ANY circumstances including but not limited to moving, travel, car issues, sickness, etc.
Please just communicate with me in a timely manner!
Touch Up Policy
Your free touch up must be claimed within 1 year from when you got them done. If you fail to follow my reschedule, cancelation, late, and no show policy stated above then your free touch up will be forfeited.
Deposit Policy
A non-refundable 50% deposit (sent through Venmo or Zelle) is required to secure your appointment. The deposit will go towards your total amount. No deposit = no appointment. The remaining balance can be paid with cash, Venmo, or Zelle.
Additional Deposit Info:
If you book multiple tattoos and decide not to do some of the tattoos you're scheduled for or you are late resulting in not being able to complete all the tattoos you were scheduled for, then you lose the deposit for the tattoos not done. You may not put it towards your total amount. Discounts will also be forfeited.
Please note that there will not be any refunds on deposits or last minute rescheduling without a new one under ANY circumstances including but not limited to moving, travel, car issues, sickness, etc.
Design
Designs will be discussed through email and will be sent 1 day (usually late afternoon/evening before) before your appointment for you to take a look at and make any minor revisions if necessary. If you are making changes to your original concept after your appointment has been booked, please let me know asap! I ask that you inform me of any changes at least 5 days before your appointment.
Designs must be finalized the day before, no changes can be made after that or at the appointment. I don't want you to have any surprises nor do I want to either going into the appointment which is why I do the designs beforehand. Plus the appointment is typically set to only accomodate tattooing and not for me to design your tattoo as well. If you know you won't be able to commit to responding to me the day before your appointment in order for us to discuss your design and finalize it, please take that into consideration and plan/schedule your appointment accordingly.
Please note that pricing is subject to change and will increase if major changes are made, sizing increases significantly, you add a lot more to the design, or you completely change the design from what we originally discussed. Unfortunately, if the changes being made are drastic enough from the original concept and if it results in me needing more time to tattoo than what you're originally scheduled for, you could potentially be considered a late reschedule if I need to move you to a different day to account for the extra time needed.
Please just be very descriptive and communicate clearly with me, I only want you to have the best design possible!
*I do not design tattoos unless a deposit has been sent and you are officially booked for an appointment with me. Designs will only be sent 1 day prior to the appointment no sooner than that.
