Studio Policy
Current Rate:
The current rate at Ink Joy Tattoo is $125 per hour (generally 3 hour sessions, but I can accommodate longer sessions during the weekend - please contact me to discuss).
Minimum shop rate is $80 (this rate if for smaller pieces that would take about a half hour or so to complete).
Flash tattoos are pre-designed, pre-sized, ready to roll tattoos, and are priced at $50 and $100 - see the Flash page for all available designs (please note that modifications to the designs are possible, but will be charged at the normal shop rate).
Touch up appointments - please note that I generally do not charge for touch ups depending on circumstances (for example, if the touch up is due to lack of saturation during the tattoo process, this is covered). If you have picked or scratched your tattoo (or damaged by other means), the touch up will be charged per my rate stated above. Please note that touch ups appointments are only available up to a year from the work being done. Should you require any touch ups after a year, this will be charged per my rate stated above.
Deposits & Cancellations:
A $50 deposit is required for all new clients. A deposit may be required for returning clients (you will be notified if this is required).
The deposit will be applied at the time of your appointment (if multiple sittings are required, the deposit will be applied to your first appointment).
If the tattoo design has been started, the deposit will be forfeit if you cancel your appointment or want a full change to the design.
If you need to reschedule - a call, text, email, or message is required 24 hours prior to your appointment. The deposit will be forfeit if the appointment is cancelled within 24 hours, or if you do not show up for your appointment. You will receive reminder notifications by email (48 hours before your appointment), and a text (2 hours before your appointment).
In case of inclement weather or illness and you need to cancel, you will not lose your deposit. Unfortunately, I may not be able to reschedule you until my next open appointment.
If Ink Joy Tattoo cancels your appointment within 24 hours, you will receive $50 off your next scheduled appointment.
Other Studio Policies:
