DEPOSIT POLICY

Consultation & Design Deposits

A $50 non-refundable consultation deposit is required to reserve time for a consultation call. This deposit honors the time and care held during the consultation and will be applied toward the final cost of the tattoo if you choose to move forward.

If we proceed with a custom design, a $100 non-refundable design deposit is required before any drawing begins. This deposit secures dedicated time for concept development, research, sketching, and revisions. Custom tattoo design is skilled, creative labor that requires focused time, creative energy, and emotional presence. These deposits help protect the integrity of this process and support a sustainable, respectful working practice.

The design deposit compensates for:

Custom concept development
Drawing and refinement time
Creative labor completed prior to the appointment
This design work exists independently of whether the tattoo is ultimately applied.

Application of Deposits

If you move forward with the tattoo, both the consultation and design deposits will be applied toward the final cost of your session. If you choose not to proceed after the design is completed, the design deposit is retained as payment for the completed design labor. 

SAME-DAY CANCELLATION & NO-SHOW POLICY 
Tattoo appointments reserve dedicated time, preparation, and custom design labor that cannot be recovered or rebooked on short notice. If you cancel, decline to proceed, or do not show up on the day of your scheduled appointment, the following applies:

 Same-Day Cancellations or Declining to Tattoo Day-Of

If you cancel or choose not to move forward with the tattoo on the day of your appointment — including after reviewing the custom design — a $100 cancellation/design fee applies. This covers time held, preparation, and custom design work already completed.
No-Shows

Failure to arrive without notice will result in the same $100 fee and may impact your ability to book future appointments.
