My books are currently always open, though I prefer to not schedule more than two months in advance. Once I have confirmed a set date/time for the tattoo, a deposit will de taken to secure the spot on the calendar. The deposit is non refundable and is taken off of the final cost of the tattoo. If multiple sessions are required, the deposit will be taken off of the last session. The invoice for the deposit will be sent via email to the address put on the form unless you plan to stop by in person to schedule. There is a small fee for all card transactions both online and in person, so plan accordingly if you do not wish to pay this fee! The cost of the deposit varies on the size of the tattoo ($50 for shop min, $80/1 hr, $150/1.5+ hours) The deposit is refundable until the artwork is sent. I typically design the artwork for the appointment the Monday or Tuesday beforehand, so any photos/references must be sent no later than the weekend prior. A line drawing of the stencil will be sent to your email to review and make small adjustments if necessary. If for some reason you cannot make it to your appointment, please reschedule no later than 48 hours before your scheduled time. If you no call/no show, the deposit is forfeited and you will not be asked to reschedule. I understand emergencies can happen, but please try to give a heads up. If you have to cancel within 48 hours of your tattoo, there is a $50 rebooking fee.
