Yes, all bookings require a $100 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours to be confirmed. Full day bookings require a $200 deposit. This comes off the total cost of the tattoo on the day (or on the final session for multi-day bookings), and is transferable in case of reschedule* as long as there is a minimum of 48 hours notice.
The deposit is taken to cover the design time and space saved for the appointment. Once confirmed, that space is blocked off for others to book – it is therefore forfeited if cancelled and in the case of a last-minute reschedule, as with less than 48 hours notice, it is incredibly difficult to fill that space and lost income.
Tattooists are contractors – if we don’t tattoo, we don’t earn, so please get in touch ASAP if you need to reschedule, so your deposit can be transferred to your new date.
* Please note, more than 3 reschedules will require a new deposit, regardless of notice period.
