Scheduling an Appointment

Once we've received your deposit we will confirm a time with you that works with your schedule, if we haven't already done so. After we have completed your booking, you'll receive a confirmation text and email from Square Appointments detailing the time and date of your appointment. Please allow up to 2 business days for us to complete your booking. We will expedite the booking process for anything that requires a time slot coming up within 48 hours or less.

Please read important details below.

Thank you!

Deposit Policy

Our deposits are a non-refundable fee required to secure your appointment. They are generally either $50 or $100 determined by the size of your design. They are not an additional fee and are deducted from the price of your tattoo on completion. If you have a larger piece that will require multiple sessions, we will deduct your deposit at your last visit. For custom designs we will do up to three minor revisions if you are not satisfied with the design presented to you. Major revisions and complete design changes need to be made 48 hours prior to your appointment subject to artist approval. We retain ownership of the design until we begin your tattoo. If you reschedule your appointment, we will honor your deposit up to 90 days from the original appointment date. If you cancel the original appointment and don’t reschedule within 90 days, we may dispose of your design as we see fit and retain your drawing deposit. Please see the details below in our Appointment Cancellation Policy that may also affect your deposit.

Appointment Cancellation Policy

If you can't make your appointment, please call us with 48 hours’ notice prior to your appointment time. We can apply your deposit to another time slot. If you fail to show up for your appointment or reschedule with less than 48 hours’ notice, we reserve the right to retain your deposit. If you’re running late, please contact us as soon as possible. If you're running more than 15 minutes late and we can no longer accommodate you, we may choose to reschedule your appointment and your deposit may be forfeited at our discretion. An additional deposit may be required for a new appointment time. We understand your scheduling needs may change and are happy to accommodate scheduling changes with sufficient notice!

Payment Info Details

We are using Lightspeed Commerce Inc. to process charges for deposits. Your card information and personal details are securely captured through them. We do not have access to your card information nor do we store it for future use. The remaining cost of your tattoo is due in full when services are rendered and is billed separately. You will need to have either your card or cash handy once your appointment has been completed.

We look forward to seeing you in the shop!

If you have any questions about the above policies or anything else regarding the tattoo process, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
