• All tattoos require an upfront deposit to secure the booking.
  

• Deposits will vary according to how many sessions are required.
  Starting from £150.

• The deposit paid upfront will come off the total amount of your tattoo.
  (In case of multiple sessions booked, the deposit comes off on the last appointment).

• You will receive an email with payment link for the deposit or if you’re coming for a consultation in person, it can be paid by cash or card at the studio.
  
  

Deposits are non-refundable. 

If I’m unable to make your appointment, you will be offered an alternative date where the deposit is transferred.

In case of no possibility of rescheduling from your part, the alternative I could offer would be a voucher (valid for 1 year) equivalent to the deposit paid. 

Please read the Lateness, Rescheduling and Cancellation policy next.

• If you’re over 30 min late without any communication, I won’t be able to go forward with your appointment.
  You will lose your initial deposit and you will have to pay a new one.
  Of course life happens, I do understand – if it’s reasonable I can make exceptions. 

• If you need to reschedule your appointment, I need 3 working days notice – with that you won’t lose your deposit.
  In case of less than 3 working days notice you will have to pay a new deposit (the first one is forfeit).
  
  

• I can only accommodate rescheduling appointments 2 times.
  (Even if you’re inside the 3 working days notice period). 
  I will evaluate each case – HOWEVER, if there’s lack of communication on those 2 times, you will loose your deposit and your appointment(s) will be cancelled altogether. 
  
  
• If you’d like to keep your appointment after the 2nd time of rescheduling, you’ll need to pay a new deposit.
  The first deposit is forfeited.
  
  

• If you need to CANCEL your appointment, even with 3 working days notice, the deposit will NOT be refunded.
  
  

• SAVE THE DATE ON YOUR CALENDAR!

  You will receive an email confirmation of your booking (check your spam in case you can’t find it).

  You will also receive a text message as a courtesy, 72 hours before your appointment!
  However, I recommend having the date saved and secure on your calendar to avoid any discontent.

• I choose to only show the final design on the day of the tattoo appointment.
  This ensures the artwork remains original and fully costumised for you, as the design process is completely tailored to each client.
  I’ve had problems with copies in the past, so this helps me keep control and avoid any issues.
  
  A consultation will take place before booking in – either by video call or in person.
  It’s an important step where we go over your ideas, preferences, and any key details. This allows me to properly understand your vision and make sure the final design is accurate, personal, and fully aligned with what you want.
  
  

• On the day of your tattoo appointment, when we’re together at the studio, I will for sure accommodate any changes you might want and work on it until you’re completely satisfied with the design. I won’t start the tattoo until you’re fully happy with the composition, size, placement of stencil and anything else regarding the tattoo.
  
  
• Changes are fairly easy to make before the tattoo starts.
  I create the designs on my iPad or freehand when necessary. I take in consideration all your needs – please, don’t be shy!
  Let me know absolutely anything you need before we start the tattoo procedure.
  
  
• Any changes you might want during the tattoo procedure will be taken in consideration for sure.
  However, some designs are not as easy to change once the tattoo has begun.
  We will work together always to accommodate what is possible in each separate case.
  
  

• Any changes you might want AFTER the tattoo has been finished and/or healed must be communicated as soon as possible.
  Keep in mind that, depending on the intricacy or placement of the design, I might not be able to make the changes you wish
  at this point. We will work together always to accommodate what is possible in each separate case.
  
  Please, read the Tattoo Touch-up Policy next.

I expect each client to follow my Tattoo Aftercare advice so the tattoo can heal nicely.
Please read the Tattoo Care page carefully before and after your appointment!

• Minor touch-ups might be necessary after your tattoo is healed. It’s a normal part of the procedure and should be expected.
  Some placements, such as hands, fingers, and bending areas, are more prone to requiring touch-ups.
  This is communicated during the initial consultation.
  
  
• Touch-up appointments are mostly 1 hour slots.
  Before booking you in for a touch-up appointment, I will request feedback – either through healed pictures or videos – and analyze whether it’s needed, and to what extent. Sometimes it could be necessary a bit longer than 1 hour, depending on each case.
  
  → If you’d like any intricate changes or multiple additions to the previous design, you will need to communicate them to me
  BEFORE booking in for a touch-up appointment. This won’t be considered a touch-up, but rather a new appointment altogether, which I can’t accommodate within a 1 hour slot.
  
  I might be able to accommodate some changes during touch-up appointments if they have been communicated beforehand
  and if they are simple, fitting within the 1 hour slot.
  
  

• Touch-up appointments are free if they are done within 6 months after the tattoo was completed (or within 6 months after
  the last session for bigger pieces).
  
  
• For areas prone to fading such as hands, fingers and bending areas, a plan will be discussed during the initial consultation for subsequent touch-ups needed according to each separate case.
