Design Policy

for accurate quotes and timing

Consultations

• Optional for small pieces
• Large / detailed tattoos can include a
15–30 min consult (in-person or online) on request

Tattoo Warranty & Touch-Ups
• 3-month warranty for workmanship issues (e.g. light patches).
• Touch-ups:
– Up to 15 mins → $50
– 30 mins + → $100
• A complimentary touch-up may be offered if you’re returning for a new tattoo (time permitting).
• To request a complimentary touch-up, please send a new, clear, square-on photo of the healed tattoo.
• Touch-ups must be booked within 3 months of the original appointment.
• Design changes = new booking.
• Complimentary touch-ups apply only if aftercare was properly followed.
• Complimentary touch-ups do not include:
– Adding shading
– Adding or changing colour/white
– Altering colour (e.g. red → black)

 

Greywash / Light-Wash Tattoo Policy
• Greywash and intentionally light tattoos are more prone to soft healing, fading, and light patches, even with perfect technique.
• Clients choosing a lighter look are advised that it will likely require a touch-up to maintain visibility.
• Because this is an expected outcome of choosing a light wash, greywash/light tattoos do not qualify for a complimentary touch-up.
• Touch-ups for light-wash pieces follow standard touch-up pricing:
– Up to 15 mins → $50
– 30 mins + → $100
• Choosing to go darker at the first appointment generally results in more solid, long-lasting healing.

 

Finger, Hand, Feet & Ear Touch-Up Policy
• I’m happy to tattoo these areas, but they do not include a complimentary touch-up.
• Touch-up costs: typically $50–$100+ depending on size and amount of fading (larger rework may be charged at my hourly rate).
• I discuss these placements in detail beforehand. Even with perfect technique, factors beyond my control (skin texture, movement, friction, frequent washing, exposure) affect healing.
• Because of this, fading, patchiness, and ink loss are common and not covered under the standard warranty.

QUOTE VALIDITY
All tattoon and touch up quotes are valid for 2 weeks from the date they are given.
Prices may change if your appointment is rescheduled or cancelled outside that timeframe. Any quotes older than 2 weeks will be re-quoted at current rates.

Other notes

• I don’t tattoo inside fingers, palms, or soles
• Clients must not attend intoxicated
• Be honest about any medical conditions or medications

Payment on the Day

• Cash preferred
• Tap & bank transfer available (1.6 % surcharge for tap)
