Non-refundable deposit policy

A tattoo deposit is paid after a consultation with an artist to begin work on a tattoo design, and to hold a tattoo appointment thereafter. The amount of the deposit vary based on size of tattoo. Hourly rates by this artist vary and currently range $200/hour. In completely the below form, I acknowledge and agree as follows:

  1. All tattoo deposits are non-refundable.

  2. For multi-session tattoos, the deposit will be held as payment towards the last session of the tattoo.

  3. Upon paying a deposit I acknowledge that I have communicated my tattoo design idea to my artist to my satisfaction. I understand that creating a tattoo design based on a client concept is subjective, and that variations may exist between my concept and the final design. If the finished design is not to be my liking, minor changes will be made at the artist's discretion. However, I understand that substantial changes to the design or the request of an entirely new drawing or draft will require a new deposit, and the original deposit will be forfeited as payment for the artist's drawing time.

  4. I have discussed the desired placement and size of the tattoo with my artist. I understand that the artist will design the tattoo to fit the intended area that was agreed upon, and any change of placement will result in a loss of deposit.

  5. No drawings or drafts are e-mailed or otherwise previewed to client before their scheduled tattoo time.

  6. A deposit will be forfeited in the event:

a. I do not appear for a tattoo appointment;

b. I cancel or reschedule an appointment without giving at least 7 days notice;

c. I continuously reschedule appointments;

d. I arrive more than 20 minutes late to a tattoo appointment;

e. I fail to reschedule a new appointment within 30 days of a cancelled appointment;

f. I arrive to a tattoo appointment without government-issued identification;

g. I arrive to a tattoo appointment with sunburn.

By signing this, I agree to all the above terms and conditions and acknowledge receipt of the Non-Refundable Deposit Policy.
