Important Scheduling Policy Update
Effective June 1, 2026
To all of our valued clients,
First, we want to thank each and every one of you for your continued support. Many of you have become more than clients—you've become friends and part of our extended family. We truly appreciate the trust you place in us.
Unfortunately, due to an increasing number of last-minute cancellations and no-shows, we are implementing a new deposit policy effective June 1, 2026.
As artists, we are paid by the work we perform—not by the hour. When an appointment is missed, we don't just lose the time reserved for that client; we also lose the hours spent designing, preparing, and planning for that piece. No-shows directly impact our ability to support our families, maintain the shop, and continue providing the quality work our clients expect.
Effective June 1, 2026, no appointment will be added to the schedule without a deposit.
Deposit Policy
When you schedule an appointment, you will receive a text message with an invoice for your deposit.
The deposit will be 25% of the tattoo cost and is non-refundable.
For tattoos priced under $200, the full cost of the tattoo will be collected at the time of scheduling and will serve as the required deposit.
Deposits must be paid within 24 hours of scheduling. For next-day appointments, the deposit is due immediately.
If the deposit has not been received, we will reach out before removing the appointment from the schedule.
If the deposit is not paid, the appointment will be canceled, and you may reschedule once you are ready to submit the deposit.
For multi-session projects, a deposit is only required for the first session.
If you need to cancel or reschedule, we completely understand that life happens. We simply ask for as much notice as possible—preferably at least 24 hours. Clients who fail to provide notice or do not show up for their appointment will forfeit their deposit and will be required to submit a new deposit to reschedule. If an emergency prevents you from contacting us in advance, please reach out as soon as possible, and we will work with you.
Please note that all deposits and payments collected at the time of scheduling are applied toward the final cost of your tattoo and are not an additional fee.
We understand this change may be an inconvenience for some, but it has become necessary to protect the shop and the time, effort, and resources that go into every appointment.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Jeremy or Melissa, and we'll be happy to discuss the policy further.
