Policies

The law prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from getting a tattoo.  

We cannot accept parent or guardian consent.  

You must be at least 18 years old prove this with a valid government-issued photo ID (driving licence, passport, NEC/Young Scot card) in order to get tattooed. 

Minimum Charge Policy 

We apply a minimum tattoo charge, which covers the time and expense of a sanitary set up and clean up of the equipment and procedure area, plus the single-use supplies necessary to provide a clean and safe tattoo applied by an experienced professional. 

  • Our minimum is the absolute lowest amount we will charge for any tattoo.  

  • This applies per person getting tattooed, per session.  

  • If you are getting a tattoo of one tiny dot, the cost will be the minimum. 

  • If you and a friend are getting matching tiny dot tattoos, the cost for each of you will be the minimum each. 

  • If you want multiple tiny tattoos on your body at the same tattoo session, you will be charged a flat rate or hourly (so if you want multiple tiny tattoos, it is more cost effective for you to get more than one at a time). 
     

Any tattoo that takes more than 60 minutes will automatically cost more than the minimum. 

Cancellation Policy 

All appointments require a minimum of 48 hours’ notice for cancellation. 

If you cancel with over 48 hours’ notice, your deposit may be applied to a future appointment. 

If an appointment is cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice, your deposit will be forfeited.

 

Reschedule Policy 

All appointments require at least 48 hours’ notice to reschedule. 

If at least 48 hours’ notice is given, your deposit may be applied to your new appointment. 

If an appointment is rescheduled more than twice, your deposit will be forfeited. 

Late Policy 

Please let us know if you are running late for an appointment. 

If you are 30 minutes or more late for an appointment without advance notice, you may forfeit your deposit, lose your appointment and will be required to reschedule and leave a new deposit. 

Deposit Policy  

DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.  

Deposits will be applied towards the final cost of your tattoo at your final session unless your deposit is forfeited.  

Deposits are forfeited for any of the following: 

  • no-shows for an appointment,  

  • cancellations with less than 48 hours advance notice,  

  • rescheduling more than twice,  

  • arriving for an appointment more than 30 minutes late,  

  • failing to provide proper ID at your appointment 

  • arriving intoxicated or otherwise unable to be tattooed,  

  • requesting excessive or last-minute changes to the design or concept,  

  • if you do not complete your tattoo within two years,  

  • deciding not to get tattooed at all.  

If you forfeit a deposit, you may be required to leave a new deposit before booking any new appointment(s).  

Deposits may not be transferred to another person. 

Artwork Policy 

We will not email, text, or preview a custom design for your review until your deposit has been paid.  

If you change your idea, placement, concept, etc and major or excessive revisions are required, your deposit will be forfeited and your appointment will need to be rescheduled and a new deposit may be required. 

Touch Up Policy 

Necessary touch ups related to the technical application and healing of a tattoo are free if done within 6 months of the tattoo and by the original artist who did the tattoo, unless the tattoo is on a non-guaranteed body part, see below. 

Touch ups cannot be done until the tattoo is fully healed. 

Touch ups due to client failure or negligence to follow our aftercare procedures are not free and will be charged the same rate as a new tattoo. 

Changes to the original, agreed upon, tattoo are not considered a touch up and will be charged as a new tattoo. 

Healing results of tattoos on the head, face, feet, or hands (including fingers) cannot be guaranteed and may not be eligible for free touch ups. 

If your tattoo is on a non-guaranteed body part it will probably need multiple touch ups and may be charged as a new tattoo each time. 

Refund Policy

No refunds for any reason. 

In the unlikely event of a mistake, it is the duty of the artist to fix it for free.  

There is always something we can do. Please contact the studio as soon as possible to allow us to find the best and quickest solution. 

Guest Policy 

You may bring only one guest (over the age of 18) with you to accompany you while you get tattooed. 

Children or minors are not permitted in the tattooing area at any time.
