How To Apply

A $200 deposit is required to secure your booking.

Your deposit is deducted from the cost of your tattoo at your booked appointment. For projects requiring multiple sessions, your deposit will continue to roll over to future appointments until your final session.

Your deposit covers:

• Securing your appointment so it cannot be booked by another client.

• Time spent designing, planning, and preparing your custom tattoo.

• Compensation for late cancellations, reschedules, or missed appointments.

Terms

• Deposits are non-refundable.

• Deposits remain valid for 6 months from the date of payment.

• Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 4 days' notice will result in the deposit being forfeited.

Back-to-Back Sessions

For consecutive multi-day bookings, if you're unable to attend a scheduled day after the first session, a $400 fee per missed day will apply. This helps cover the time that was reserved exclusively for your project and cannot be filled at short notice.

I understand that life happens and sometimes appointments need to be changed.

If you need to reschedule your appointment, please provide at least 4 days' notice. With sufficient notice, your deposit will be transferred to your new appointment date.

Rescheduling requests made with less than 4 days' notice will result in your deposit being forfeited, and a new deposit will be required to secure another booking. This is because it is often difficult to fill a tattoo appointment at short notice, particularly for larger sessions.

If you are feeling unwell, have experienced a recent injury, or have any concerns that may affect your appointment, please get in touch as soon as possible so we can discuss the best course of action.

Repeated rescheduling may result in your booking being cancelled or future appointments requiring a new deposit.

If you decide to cancel your appointment, please let me know as soon as possible.

As your appointment time has been reserved exclusively for you, all deposits are non-refundable and cannot be transferred once an appointment has been cancelled.

Cancellations made with less than 4 days' notice, or failure to attend your appointment without notice, will result in the loss of your deposit. Any future bookings will require a new deposit to be secured.

For larger projects involving multiple booked sessions, cancelling the project may result in the remaining reserved appointments being released to other clients.

I appreciate as much notice as possible, as it gives me the best opportunity to offer the appointment to another client..

All sessions are standard without numbing cream, however:

You're welcome to use numbing cream for your appointment if you feel it will make the experience more comfortable.

Please be aware that numbing creams can affect the skin differently from person to person. In some cases, they may alter the skin's texture, increase sensitivity, or make the tattooing process more challenging, which can occasionally affect ink retention or healing.

If you plan to use your own numbing cream, please let me know before your appointment so we can discuss the best application method and ensure it is suitable for your session.

Alternatively, I can supply Tattoo Numbing Co. numbing cream for an additional fee. If you choose this option, please allow 90 minutes before your appointment for the cream to be applied and take full effect. This additional preparation time will be factored into your appointment schedule.

If any areas require additional touch-ups due to the effects of numbing cream, these may incur an additional fee.

If you're unsure whether numbing cream is right for your tattoo, feel free to ask before your appointment and I'll be happy to discuss your options.

While every effort is made to ensure your tattoo heals beautifully, healing results can vary from person to person. Factors such as skin type, aftercare, lifestyle, placement, and your body's natural healing process can all influence the final result.

A complimentary touch-up is available within 6 months of your tattoo being completed, provided:

• The tattoo has been cared for according to the aftercare instructions provided.

• The tattoo has healed normally.

• No significant changes have been made to the tattoo after your appointment (including work by another artist).

• The touch-up is to address minor areas of ink loss or uneven healing.

Touch-ups requested after 6 months, or those required due to factors outside of normal healing, may be charged at my standard hourly rate or minimum booking fee.

Please note that tattoos on areas such as the hands, fingers, feet, elbows, knees, and other high-friction or high-movement areas are more prone to fading and may require additional touch-ups over time.

If you believe your tattoo would benefit from a free touch-up, simply contact me and I'll be happy to accept it.

In accordance with Australian law, all clients must be 18 years of age or older to receive a tattoo.

A valid government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's licence or passport) may be requested prior to your appointment to verify your age.

For the safety and comfort of everyone in the studio, children should not attend tattoo appointments unless prior arrangements have been made. If you must bring in your minor, please let me know before your appointment.
