These policies exist to ensure a positive working relationship. They are universal and apply to everyone.
By moving forward with your appointment, you agree to have read and understand the following information. If at any point, it seems clear that this is not understood, I reserve the right to cease our working relationship and all fees paid will be forfeit.
Deposits / 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 my time and 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.
Cancellation and Reschedule requests made within 48 hours will require a new booking fee in order to reserve another date/time.
In the event a client needs to cancel last minute due to an *emergency, deposits will be honored for up to 1 year from the date the original appointment is booked.
*an emergency is something that physically keeps you from coming to your appt ie, hospitalization, death in the family, natural disaster, etc… it is not because your husband’s friend’s son has a party you need to attend (yes someone used this and thought it was valid)
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 result in loss of booking/deposit fee.
A new booking fee will be required if a client wants to reschedule their appointment.
Reschedules/Cancellations for touch ups with less than 48 hours notice will result in cancellation fee of $75 (30%).
These fees will be charged to the card info submitted at the time of booking.
A courtesy of one reschedule with 48 hour notice is allowed.
There is no guarantee that I will be able to accommodate your reschedule request and may result in moving your appointment several weeks away.
If a ‘touch up’ is rescheduled after the 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’ and will be charged the associated rate. If a ‘refresh’ is rescheduled after 32 months of the initial appointment, it will be priced as a ‘new’ appointment.
Late Arrival
As a courtesy to myself and other clients, if you arrive more than 15 mins late to your appointment, we may need to reschedule and all booking fees paid up until this point will be lost. If you booked a 3 month touch up which does not require a deposit, your appointment will be considered ‘cancelled’ and a cancellation fee of $75 will be charged to your card on file.
I understand that things happen, but please plan accordingly. If you feel you will not be able to make your appointment on time, 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.
As a single person run business, I take no-shows very seriously. Clients who no-show appointments 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 deposit 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/deposit will be forfeit and you agree to pay 50% of your remaining balance using the card associated with your appointment for that session to compensate for loss of time and income by not reaching out beforehand.
To avoid any unnecessary charges, please reach out to be BEFORE booking for approval and/or advice on our best step forward.
COVER UPS
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 terms, conditions, aftercare and pre-care expectations and 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.
REFUNDS
Those who wish to book multiple services in 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 and my time will be properly compensated if not.
booking multiple services
Deposits 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. Please be courteous to the artist and other clients and arrive 10 mins early. Be mindful of traffic and parking.
