Tattoo Booking & Deposit Policy

Tattoo Booking & Deposit Policy

Health Considerations

Your medical history may affect your ability to get tattooed.
Please take this into consideration before booking your tattoo and paying your deposit.

We cannot tattoo sunburned skin. If you arrive at your appointment with sunburn, we will need to reschedule your appointment to the artist’s next available date. The request for a new deposit is at the artist’s discretion.

 

Deposit Policy

Deposit Requirement

All of our appointments require a deposit when you are booking your appointment.

The deposit amount is 30% of the total tattoo cost.

Deposits for full-day appointments may be 30% per day.

If you decide to pay more as your deposit, your deposit still falls under our policy.

If you do not have a deposit in place, your appointment is NOT secure and could be given away.

Deposits can be paid online via Bank Transfer, or cash/card in store.

Non-Refundable Policy

All deposits are non-refundable.

We do not provide refunds.

Our deposit policy is final and exceptions are not made.

Deposit Transfer Rules

All deposits are non-transferable.
This means your deposit cannot be given to someone else to use as a deposit or for a new design.

Appointment Rescheduling

Reschedule Notice

Adequate notice (72 hours notice) is required to move your appointment and keep your original deposit.

You may reschedule your tattoo once only before a new deposit is required.

Reschedule Time Limit

We will not indefinitely hold your deposit.

If you do not make a new booking within 7 days of rescheduling, we will assume you no longer want your tattoo and the deposit will be forfeited.

No-Show or Multiple Reschedules

If you:

  • Do not show up for your appointment
  • Cancel repeatedly
  • Reschedule multiple appointments

A larger deposit (50% or 100% payment) may be required before booking again.

In rare cases of repeated issues, we may decline future bookings.

Design Agreement

Upon paying a deposit, you (the client) acknowledge that:

  • You have clearly communicated your tattoo design idea to us.
  • You have reviewed or will review the artist’s portfolio.
  • You understand the artist will interpret the design concept based on their artistic style.

Creating a tattoo design based on a client’s concept is subjective, and variations may exist between the concept and the finished design.

Design Changes

If the finished design is not to your liking, minor changes will be made.

However, substantial changes or requests for an entirely new drawing or draft will require a new deposit, and the original deposit will be forfeited as payment for the artist’s drawing time.

Touch-Ups & Aftercare

Complimentary touch-ups will be provided if there is an error by the artist.

However, if:

  • Aftercare instructions are not followed
  • Proper aftercare cream is not used

A minimum fee or more will apply depending on the additional tattooing time required.

Appointment Timing

Our artists plan tattoo sessions within a specific time frame, especially for larger tattoos.

If you:

  • Request too many breaks
  • Arrive late

Full payment for the tattoo is still required. Additional time needed to finish the tattoo may incur extra charges.

Final Policy Statement

Please consider this policy carefully when booking your appointment.

This policy applies to ALL artists working within Mason’s Ink Tattoo Studio.
