CANCELATION, RUNNING LATE & RESCHEDULING
TO CANCEL or if your are RUNNING LATE:
PLEASE REACH OUT TO TEXT ME directly (203)654-9412!
**CANCELLATIONS MADE AT ANYTIME WILL FORFEIT YOUR NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT**
**IF YOU ARE MORE THAN 15 MINS LATE AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM YOU, YOUR APPT WILL BE CANCELED AND IT WILL BE CONSIDERED A NO CALL/NO SHOW!!**
All no call/no show clients will be fired and will no longer be able to book any future appointments.
Of course things happen, you may be running behind or hit traffic on the way into the shop. But out of respect and consideration of my time, schedule, other clients I may have booked for that day....all I ask that you do the right thing and call the shop to let me know.
TO RESCHEDULE your appointment:
PLEASE REACH OUT TO TEXT ME directly (203)654-9412!
**RESCHEDULING LESS THAN 24 HOURS BEFORE AN APPT WILL REQUIRE A NEW DEPOSIT TO BE PAID** Just like at a doctor's office this acts as a cancellation fee.
Appts that are rescheduled more than 24 hours before an appt will have their deposits carried over AS A ONE-TIME COURTESY. If you need to reschedule for a 2nd time you will need to pay a new deposit in order to rebook.
CHANGES TO MY TATTOO DESIGN/ WHEN WILL I SEE MY TATTOO DESIGN
If you want to CHANGE YOUR DESIGN IN ANY WAY prior to your appointment:
PLEASE REACH OUT TO TEXT ME directly (203)654-9412!
Large changes to your design may alter the length/time of your appintment and may require your appointment to be rescheduled to a later date. **Switching to a completely new design, specifically less than 24 hours on larger scale piece (6 inches or more) will not only your appointment to be rescheduled to a later date but an additoinal depsoit to be paid!** This acts as a drawing fee for the time that I spent drawing the pervious design
**ALL TATTOO DESIGNS WILL BE SHOW TO YOU ON THE DAY OF YOUR APPT**
This is an industry standard, so please don’t request to see the design in advance. It's also why we ask all of the required information above in order to provide us with all the neccessary details to draw up a tattoo as close as possible to your vision. Most of us artist do not draw our designs weeks in advcance. I rough out up my designs a few days prior to your appointment and finalize my drawing the night before your appointment.
When you come in for your appointment:
The first thing we will is we review the design I have drawn up for you. If you would like to make any small changes to the drawing we will do so on the spot. Only once you have approved the final design will we move forward and start tattooing you.
BRINGING A FREIND/CHILDREN
**AS A SHOP POLICY: BLUE BIRD TATTOO DOES NOT ALLOW ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 IN THE SHOP!**
Please do not bring your baby/child to your tattoo appointment.
This is for their safety and to help you keep your focus on the sitting still for the tattoo. As much we love seeing adorable children they can be very disruptive and are a safety concern. So please make sure to arrange a babysitter for any children you may or may not have.
**AS A SHOP POLICY: BLUE BIRD TATTOO ALLOWS ONE ADDITIONAL PERSON TO ACCOMPANY YOU WHEN IN THE SHOP! **
Please do not bring more than one person or a group to your tattoo appointment.
Blue Bird tattoos is a small tattoo shop with limited space for anyone who is not being tattooed. Also having a large group of people accompany you to can be distracting to you as the client. Which can draw your focus away from sitting still for the tattoo, make you more anxious and can be confusing having “too many cooks in the kitchen”.
CONCERNED ABOUT SITTING FOR A FULL DAY
No worries, Im the 1st person to say I hate getting tattooed too and sitting for it is getting worse as I get older :/
If you feel you can’t sit for a full day piece please don’t hesitate to let me know. I am more than happy to break your tattoo into 2 sessions. (Outline and then a color/shadding session) Or I can also provide you suggestions for numbing cream.
