Studio Policies

To ensure a safe, respectful, and smooth experience for everyone, please take a moment to read through the following policies before booking. These are non-negotiable and reflect both personal boundaries and professional standards.

Deposits

• A non-refundable retainer is required to secure all appointments.

• $50 retainer for all flash tattoos.

• Custom designs require a variable deposit, depending on complexity—this will be discussed during booking.

• Deposits go toward the final cost of your tattoo.

Rescheduling & Cancellations

• 48+ hours’ notice required to reschedule

• Only 1 reschedule allowed per booking

• After that, full payment upfront is required to reschedule — nonrefundable if canceled again

• Appointment retainers are never refundable, but may be applied to a future appointment once per client if 48+ hours’ notice is given

• Less than 48 hours’ notice = retainer forfeited

Arrival

• 15-minute grace period for lateness

• After 15 minutes, appointment is canceled and retainer forfeited

• If I can still fit your appointment with a late start, $10 per 15 minutes late will be added to your total. You will not receive a discount for a late start on your end if the time is cut short. 

No-Shows

• No-shows forfeit their retainer and cannot book again

Consent + Age

• All clients must sign a consent form before being tattooed.

• Government-issued photo ID is required at the time of your appointment.

• You must be 18 years or older—no exceptions.

Walk-Ins

• No walk-ins. All appointments must be scheduled in advance.

Content Boundaries

I reserve the right to decline any tattoo that does not align with my personal ethics or comfort level. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Any tattoo that is racist, homophobic, xenophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, or otherwise derogatory.

• Imagery or wording that promotes hate, violence, or harmful ideologies.

Placement Boundaries

• I will not tattoo genitals, hands, or feet, due to healing issues and long-term viability.

• I may decline placements that I believe will not hold up over time or compromise the quality of the work.

Style + Medium

• I do not offer color tattoos. My work is exclusively blackwork and fine line.

Health + Safety

For your safety and mine, I cannot tattoo anyone who:

• Is pregnant

• Is currently taking blood thinners

• Has taken antibiotics in the past two weeks

• Has consumed alcohol within 24 hours of the appointment

If you’re unsure whether you’re in the clear, just reach out—I’m happy to answer questions.
