Terms and conditions

Please be aware that all deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE however they are transferable in the event that you require to reschedule I will happily roll your deposit forwards to your new date if given at least 3 full days notice.

Deposits are NOT however transferrable to another client or art piece. Your deposit specifically only applies to you and your artwork that we have agreed upon.
I deal with a lot of inquiries every day, my manager and I hand select which tattoo ideas would best suit addition to my portfolio and every booking has a consultation process to some degree, after your consultation we will select which available date best suits both your schedule and mine and this date will be reserved just for you.

Once you have reserved a date it means that other prospective clients will not have it available to them, and may not be able to book in for their tattoo and potentially miss out.

This is a lot of work that has been done on your behalf prior to even starting to design the piece, so even if you change your mind with sufficient notice my my manager and I do unfortunately need to be compensated for the time spent.

This is never something I want to do, and I will make every effort to accommodate rescheduling where applicable.
I want to tattoo you! So I ensure that on the day of your tattoo appointment I arrive early, have my artwork prepared and my equipment ready. I have no prior commitments, I have dedicated my day to you and your new art.

Please ensure you do the same, as appointments that require to be cut short or are unable to be completed will still require full payment
On several occasions I have had clients arrive who are in a medical condition that is non conducive to receiving a tattoo, such as being sick with a cold, pregnant, breast feeding, drunk or hungover, recently sunburned, currently suffering from a communicable disease or on medication which will result in a poor tattoo application.

If you feel that you may be suffering from a condition that would be unsafe for tattooing please let me know in prior to your appointment. Under no circumstances will I ever knowingly endanger the health and safety of my client, future clients and myself by exposing unfit persons to the tattooing process and studio environment.

Should you arrive to your appointment unfit for receiving a tattoo I will be unable to work with you at that time and your deposit may be forfeited, you may be required to leave a new deposit to secure a new appointment.

Should you cancel even with late notice due to an unforseen medical emergency I will happily reschedule your appointment once a medical certificate is provided showing that you did not have prior ability to cancel or knowledge of your condition.
Please be sure to arrive on time to your appointment. If you are unable to arrive on time please be sure to notify me as soon as possible so that I am aware of the situation and can plan accordingly

Clients whom are over 15 minutes late will be billed my hourly rate from the beginning of their sheduled appointment time in addition to the agreed upon tattoo rate.

Clients whom are more than 30 minutes late without making an effort to notify me will be considered a late cancellation / no-show (see below)
Should you need to reschedule and you have provided more than 3 days notice I will be happy to honour your deposit and roll it forward to your new tattoo date.

Likewise if I require to reschedule you for any reason that is no fault on your part I will endeavour to give you at least 3 days notice, (its only fair) and if I cannot do so I will discount the price of your tattoo to the value of your deposit.

However, unfortunately should you fail to give an adequate amount of notice that you require to reschedule I will be sadly unable to rearrange another client to fill your space and the deposit will have to be forfeited.

If you require to reschedule for an unknown timeframe or cannot confirm a new appointment date at the time of your requesting to reschedule I will hold your deposit for a period of 90 days.

If you have not contacted me within 90 days to book an alternate date your deposit will be considered abandoned, and a new deposit will be required to hold your new appointment

If you require to reschedule more than once, an additional deposit will be required for each further re-schedule. All deposits will be honoured at the time of your tattoo provided no other terms and conditions are broken.
Should you require to cancel even with more than 3 days notice I will still have invested this time as described above, and potentially denied other clients on your behalf.
As such, unfortunately the deposit will have to be retained to cover the work time invested, and should you at a later date change your mind and re-book a new deposit will be required to hold your new appointment
Should you require to cancel with extremely short notice (under 12 hours) or fail to show up to your appointment on the day for whatever reason I will have zero ability to fill the space reserved for you.

In the event of a short notice cancellation or no-show the client will be unable to be re-booked until 50% of the wasted appointment is paid, and a new deposit is left to secure a new appointment.

 

Additional GENERAL  TERMS & CONDITIONS

 

 

General information:

Tattooing is an irreversible procedure & although I take extreme care in producing premium quality artwork, please be aware that due to the nature of tattooing a living canvas and that variances from the original design to the finished product on skin are to be expected.

I use only the highest grade single use disposable equipment for all tattoos I create, however due to the nature of a tattoo and the variability of clients own bodies and adherence to aftercare instructions, any infections or ink loss, ink fading, or allergic reactions are not the fault of myself and upon booking you agree that I will not be held liable.

I am more than happy to advise on any issues you may have with your tattoo, and offer a free touchup service if contacted and advised of the requirement within 90 days of your original tattoo appointment.

Touchups that booked are within this time frame are free of charge, and all touchups require an in person consultation prior to booking your touchup.

Touchups booked outside this timeframe incur regular shop rate.

 

Refusal of service

Please be aware I at all times reserve the right to refuse service for any reason such as poor attitude, being unprepared, unreasonably late for your appointment, being in a medical or physical condition unsuitable for tattooing, or simply changing your mind with an unacceptable amount of prior notice or an excessive amount of times.

A common reason for refusal of service is excessive alterations to size, small details or placement, this is a common indicator of being uncertain and could mean later on you regret rushing in.

I unfortunately will be unable to tattoo you if i feel that you are too uncertain about your design and are "settling" with it, please be aware this is for your own benefit as it is my professional opinion that clients whom "settle" with a design are ultimately less happy with the finished product.

My full portfolio is available online and I typically book several months in advance, if you have not conveyed your design requirements fully by the time of your appointment, or observed my style before booking and are then uncertain on your tattoo day in such a manner that I am no longer comfortable tattooing you, I will be unable to re-book you and your deposit will be forfeited to cover my loss of income.
