DEPOSITS

Deposits vary from $25 - $100 depending on the artist.  All deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE.  In case you need to reschedule your appointment it is required to give the artist a minimum of 72 hours. notice.  If you fail to give the artist sufficient notice you will be required to place an additional deposit in order to schedule the appointment.  You may reschedule once before an additional deposit will be required. 

​

If the artist is unable to keep your scheduled appointment time/ day, a refund will be issued if you are not able to reschedule. 

​

If you are not feeling well on the day of your appointment, please reach out to your artist to reschedule. We would like to keep our artists happy and healthy. 

 

All deposits will be put towards the final cost of your tattoo. In the case of a multi-session piece, your deposit will go towards your last session. There will be tax on the total amount of your tattoo including the deposit, on the day you start working on your piece.

 

Your deposit is in place to hold your appointment date and time. It is insurance for our artists in the case that the client does not show up for the scheduled appointment date.  When a client does not show up to their appointment, the artist is at a financial loss for the day. This is also the case, although rare when the client shows up for their scheduled appointment and does not go through with the tattoo. For any reason.

 

We value your time so please be considerate and value ours. We have a 72-hour rescheduling policy.  If you give your artist notice 72hrs or more notice when you are unable to make your appointment you may reschedule once without losing your deposit once.  If you reschedule with less than 72 hours' notice, the artist may not be able to fill that spot and therefore be at a financial loss for the designated appointment time.  If you reschedule a second time you will lose your deposit even if adequate time of notice is given. If you show up for your appointment and decide you need more time with the design or to think about your commitment you will lose your deposit for the day so that the artist can be compensated for their time. 

​

DESIGN

Each artist has their own design process. Please ask your artist what their design process 

​

If your appointment is with Carter you will not receive a drawing/sketch before your scheduled appointment date.  Carter does not pre-draw tattoos.  He will work with you on the design the day of your tattoo appointment. If your appointment is with Aaron he may offer the design for you to review before the day of the tattoo.

​

PRICING

Pricing will depend on size, location, and the amount of detail.  Many times the artist will give a rough estimate or range for the cost of the tattoo.  Hourly or daily rates may apply to multi-session pieces depending on the artist. Please reach out to your specific artist for more details on their pricing. 

​

PRIOR TO YOUR APPOINTMENT

You may begin to moisturize the area to be tattooed twice a day leading up the the appointment date.  The day before your tattoo we recommend you get a good night's rest and refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages or consuming ibuprofen or any other blood thinning agents. If you are on any prescribed blood thinners, please let your artist know before your appointment.

​

DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT

We recommend you have a good-sized breakfast or lunch an hour or two before your appointment.  You may also bring snacks with you though they must be consumed in the lobby outside of the tattoo area.  You may also bring a book or phone to keep your attention.  If your appointment is longer and will take you through lunchtime we recommend packing a lunch or we can also recommend one of the fine dining locations located within driving distance of the shop.  Please wear appropriate attire in regard to the location of your tattoo.

​

FRIEND POLICY

It is preferred that you attend your session alone. If approved by your artist, you may bring one adult with you.

​

MINORS/CHILDREN

We do not tattoo minors under ANY circumstances.  We also have a NO-CHILDREN policy for safety reasons as well as for our own mental health!  Please leave your children with a qualified childcare professional.

​

REMINDERS

Your artist is not responsible for reminding you of your appointment. Please do not expect a reminder of your appointment date and time. Your artist may or may not provide a draft of the design before your appointment date.  Many of our artists prefer to work with the client on the day of the tattoo.
