About your deposit

A tattoo deposit is required to schedule with an artist. This deposit reserves your spot and keeps other potential clients (some of which waited weeks or months for an opening) from reserving that spot. Artists are not paid by the hour, the are paid for the piece they are creating with you and the time they spent with you. Your deposit is used to encourage you to show up to your appointment and to cover our artists costs should you cancel or no-show. Your deposit is non-refundable, could vary in price, and will be redeemed at the final tattoo session.
