1. Our tattoo rates are $150 an hour up to three hours, then $130 for anything over 3 hours. If you are recieving a larger piece aka: a sleeve then the rate is $120 an hour. Gst is applicable on all tattoo work.
2. Deposits: Deposits are required to book any tattoo appointment, if you do not leave a deposit you do not have an appointment. Deposit amounts vary on size and time but are generally half of the required time slot booked. Our minimum deposit is $80 and can be paid in person, by credit over the phone or by cheque or money order if you live out of town.
VERY IMPORTANT: Deposits are absolutely non-refundable ever!!! I think I could write a very intresting book on all the excuses and stories that I have heard over the years on why someone should get their deposit back and some are truly believable and I admit on occasion I have bent the rule a bit BUT you are forewarned and a grown up, we take this very seriously and do this for a living, we are not at fault if you chicken out, are late, forget your appointment, change your mind, not follow our policies, lie about your age, come in and book then tell your parents after the fact, what have you, I am sorry but this is a complete waste of the artists valuable time and they get paid by the hour and you taking up that time is time wasted so they keep the deposit.
3. Artwork: we are a custom shop, most of what we do here is custom but have done flash and other tattoo type designs with our touch to it. We do have to pre-approve all artwork that is to be drawn and tattooed and if we feel it will not make a very nice tattoo we will not do it, so please understand if we say no thank you. Money is not our driving factor we just want our work to be incredible.
4. You can not change your mind on your design, once you come in and book a tattoo for a certain design you can not change it to some other tattoo piece, there is several reasons for this including the number 3. above and the time booked since it could vary.
5. TOUCHUPS - very rarely do we ever have to do them but we ask that you come back within three months of your intial appointment and we will take a look to ensure that its nice and smooth. At that time we will book you in for your touchup, this is the only way we willbook a touchup, you can not call and just say you need a touchup you have to come in, our time is important and we have to ensure that yes you really do need one and how much time is needed. If you do not do this step you will not get a free touchup, so no excuses come and visit us.
6. Deposits are only good for 90 days if you cancel your appointment and do not rebook, please let us know if you are moving and we will make a note on your deposit for future use.
7. Kids are cute and we love them, but they can't come to your tattoo appointment, it is very dangerous for everyone and we can not risk cross contamination, so please find a caregiver.
8. Speaking of children, we don't tattoo them ever! A child needs to be a child until they are 16 years of age. Once they are 16 they are allowed to drive a car which to us is a pretty big responsibility so we allow the following: artwork must be preapproved by us no exceptions, we will not tattoo any area that is visable to the public eye at all times (arms, necks, hands, lower backs) you get the idea, and ID is required by both parent and child at the time of the tattoo.
9. Please do not get tattooed if you are ill, please call and we will rebook your appointment, we do require a 72 hour cancellation policy if you have any other reason you can not make it, but illness is illness please call us that morning and leave a message.
10. If you come in for your appointment smelling of alcohol or you have taken any kind of drug including smoking weed, you will lose your deposit and your appointment.
11. Make sure you eat before you come in for a piercing or tattoo otherwise you will faint!
12. We will not tattoo names of significant others ever, so don't bother but we do a good job of covering them up, and trust us we do alot of that.
13. If you do have to cancel your appointment you are only allowed to reschedule once, we get the chicken outters and they will keep doing this all year so we had to apply this rule.
14. If you live out of town and your highway is bad, DO NOT COME IN, not worth it, lets just reschedule your appointment.
15. deposits are non-transferable unless we give approval
16. gift cards are non-reversable
17. You must be 18 to sign for yourself for both piercing and tattooing (some piercings such as nose and belly button is 16 years of age)
18. Booking times, so many times I hear wow its to long of a wait to get in, well that should be telling you something - it means your tattoo will not suck
