General Policies

---

Every person, regardless of whether or not they have been tattooed before, will need an in person consultation before each piece or project. During the consultation we will go over your idea, present reference photos, talk about budget, take measurements/pictures of the area, and I will give you an estimate of the timeblock needed to complete your idea. From this consult we can then book you for your piece!  This will be required for every new tattoo you book, regardless of how many times you’ve been tattooed by me!

Short answer, no.

This prevents theft but mainly because my stencil is my road map to the tattoo. Looking at a map you don’t know how to read is confusing! You will be able to see your design day of the appointment and I will explain my process and what you can expect. If there are any tweaks needed we will do them together. Although rare, if I need to completely redraw the design, you may be rescheduled. Completely changing your design/idea will forfeit your deposit and you will have to place a new one to reschedule. Before you book, please ensure you have solidified your concept to prevent the loss of a deposit.

Yes. Instead of charging by the minute until I’m done, you’re paying for the block of time you reserved. Charging in this fashion is necessary for me as a quick and efficient tattooer. Because I tattoo quick I cannot charge an hourly rate. I would be massively undercharging for the quality and amount of work I can do in a short period of time. 

If we do have extra time, you’re free to get something small or do a few touch ups on existing pieces granted it can be done within that time block. If not, everyone loves to get done their pain appointment early! 

No. All deposits must be paid in store. (cash or card)

We have a deposit policy you must sign. You will receive a copy of the deposit policy for your records.

All cancelations require a minimum of 24 hours before the appointment time in order to reschedule and move your deposit to a new appointment. There is a maximum of two reschedules before the deposit is forfeited. If you are going to be arriving late to your appointment, please contact the shop immediately. I treat lateness more than 15 minutes without a phone call a no call no show. 

Please note: I do not hold deposits indefinitely. I understand if you cannot reschedule immediately. I do not hold onto deposits longer than 3 months without a date to move it to. 

All of my work is completely custom. Reference photos are great for helping me understand your vision but I do not copy another artist’s tattoo. Every tattoo I do will be in my style of either American traditional or Neo-Traditional. By booking with me, you agree to this.

I follow all guidelines in place by the state of Florida and Citrus County Health Department. As it states, all minors 16 and 17 must obtain a notary form and have that form signed and sealed by a notary with their legal guardian present. This must be done PRIOR to the appointment. Come appointment time, all minors must bring a valid ID along with their guardian that is on the notary form with their valid ID (ex. If mom’s name is on the form, mom must show in person to the appointment, bring her ID and stay the duration. Dad cannot sub out as his name is not on the form) There are absolutely no exceptions. I do not tattoo minors necks, hands, or intimate areas.
