These policies exist to ensure a positive working relationship. They are universal and apply to everyone.
BOOKING FEE
All appointments (except 6-12 weeks touch ups) require a booking fee. This is the cost of reserving the allotted time for each appointment. It exists to ensure base costs are covered and protected in the event a client is not able to make their appointments.
Booking fee’s are non-refundable and non-transferrable.
In the event a client can not reschedule immediately, booking fees will be honored for up to 1 year from the date the original appointment is booked.
In some cases, such as an emergency or other event out of the control of the client, this fee is refundable and is at the discretion of myself.
Reschedule &
cancellation
If you wish to reschedule or cancel your appointment, I request a minimum of 48 hours notice.
Reschedules and Cancellations for first time appointments with less than 48 hours will forfeit the booking fee and a new booking fee will be required for a new appointment.
Reschedules/Cancellations for touch ups with less than 48 hours notice will result in fee of $75 (30%).
These fees will be charged to the card info submitted at the time of booking.
If a ‘touch up’ is rescheduled beyond 12 weeks of the initial appointment, there will be a price increase of $100 up to 6 months. Anything booked beyond 6 months of the initial appointment it will be considered a ‘Refresh’.
Late Arrival
As a courtesy to myself and other clients, there is a 15 min late policy.
If you can not make your appointment within 15 minutes of the scheduled time a $50 late fee may apply or we may need to reschedule if I can not accommodate you.
In the case of needing to reschedule, it will be considered a last minute reschedule/cancellation and will result in loss of booking fee and a new booking fee will be needed in order to move forward with a new appointment.
I understand that things happen, but please plan accordingly. If you feel you will not be able to make your appointment on time, please reach out via email to let me know.
Clients traveling from out of town/state or those unfamiliar with NYC - please leave yourself additional time for parking.
No Shows
If you do not show up to your appointment and did not give notice, your card on file will be charged 50% of your remaining balance.
If you are not able to make your appointment, even if it is within the 48hour window, reach out via email before your appointment time to avoid these charges.
Clients who no-show with no notice are not able to make future bookings with me.
Results
Each individual is different and healed results will vary. Lifestyle, skin and adherence to proper aftercare will greatly impact the outcome, and even then results can not be guaranteed. A minimum of two sessions is strongly recommended and is the standard amount in order to achieve desired results. In some cases additional touch ups may be required.
These procedures are not intended to replace the use of makeup products but to enhance individual features. All risks and uncertainty of the processes involved in cosmetic tattooing is agreed upon and understood by the client before booking an appointment.
As a general rule, the tattooed area will heal around roughly 40% lighter in color, tone and vibrancy compared to immediately after as we are ultimately seeing the pigment through a layer of skin.
At the time of your appointment, if it is clear that this concept is not understood by the client and there is hesitation, uncertainty, or a sense that this is an impulsive decision, I reserve the right to refuse this service and the booking fee will be forfeit.
If you have previous work done by a different artist, you MUST send me a photo via email for pre-approval before booking. Although the tattoo may appear light to you and easily workable, there are many other factors that are taken into consideration when deciding whether you are a good candidate. In some cases removal/lightening sessions may be the best course of action.
Should you move forward with booking without receiving consent from me, and it is deemed at the time of your appointment I am unable to work with your existing tattoo, your booking fee will be forfeit.
To avoid any unnecessary charges, or correction fees, please reach out to be BEFORE booking for approval and/or advice on our best step forward.
COVER UPS
There are no refunds under any circumstances.
Between this website and social media profiles, there is a wealth of information about the process as well as an extensive portfolio of both images and videos giving clear depiction of my style of work in addition to skill, behind the scenes of appointments, examples of pre-drawing, etc...
There are several prompts throughout the booking experience indicating that the client is fully aware of all the policies, terms, conditions, aftercare and pre-care expectations in addition to ample opportunity at the time of appointment to bring up any questions or concerns.
Final outcome of the tattoo is greatly impacted by strict adherence to aftercare as well as other factors outside my control as stated above under “Results”. These risks are understood by the client, therefore under no circumstances are there refunds upon completion of services for any reason.
Additionally, I take the relationship between myself, my clients and my studio seriously. Expressions and behavior such as hate speech, name calling, condescension, etc… will result in immediate termination of all working relationships and all fees paid up to that point will be forfeit.
REFUNDS +
General Conduct
Those who wish to book multiple services for the same day are required to pay a booking fee of 50% the total balance of combined services. The reschedule/cancellation window is 72 hours.
Because my schedule only allots for one new service a day, booking multiple first session appointments usually results in overtime and/or coming in on a day off. A higher booking fee conveys that the client is committed to their appointment.
booking multiple services
Booking Fees for appointments taken in other cities other than New York, are non-refundable and non-transferrable for any reason.
Due to limited availability, rescheduling is not permitted. If you can not make it to your appointment, you will forfeit your deposit.
If you no-show a guest spot and give no notice, your card will be charged 100% of the remaining balance for the appointment.
If you arrive more than 15 mins late to your appointment, you forfeit your deposit and will need to wait until the next trip to re-book with a new non-refundable deposit. Be mindful of traffic and parking.
