Payment Methods: Cash (preferred and discounted), Credit/Debit Cards, and Venmo.

Remaining Balance: Due at your appointment. Please plan your payment method in advance for a seamless experience.

Why We Require a Scheduling Fee

Every appointment is meticulously prepared in advance. The scheduling fee reserves your time exclusively and reflects a commitment to the premium service we provide.

Rescheduling & Cancellation Policy

We understand that life happens. While we aim to be flexible, please understand that our time is reserved just for you.

Rescheduling:

  • One-time courtesy reschedule allowed with at least 72 hours’ notice.

  • Any additional changes will require a new scheduling fee to rebook.

Cancellation:

  • All scheduling fees are non-refundable.

  • Cancellations made less than 72 hours in advance will forfeit the scheduling fee.

  • Future appointments will require a scheduling fee.

Multiple Services:

  • Each service is subject to the same cancellation and rescheduling policies.

No-Show & Late Arrival Policy

Punctuality ensures the best results and honors the time of every client.

You will be marked as a no-show if:

  • You miss your appointment

  • You arrive more than 10 minutes late without notice

In either case:

  • Your deposit is forfeited

  • You will be charged 50% of the service fee

  • Full prepayment will be required for future bookings

Emergency Exceptions:

We’re human too. If an emergency occurs, please contact us as soon as possible. If proper documentation is provided (e.g., a doctor’s note), the no-show fee may be waived at our discretion.

Tip: Always plan for weather, traffic, and personal commitments. Booking a cosmetic tattoo is an investment—protect your time as much as we protect your beauty.

  • We offer a 10-minute grace period. After that, the appointment is considered a no-show and must be rescheduled.

  • Arriving late can reduce procedure time and affect the final result—we want you to get the best outcome possible.

Refund Policy

Touch-Up Policy & Expectations

  • All scheduling fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. Services are non-refundable once performed.

  • If you are not fully satisfied, we are happy to discuss next steps under our touch-up policy.

A touch-up is a separate appointment and is not included in the initial session price. It is highly recommended for best results and should be scheduled 6–12 weeks after your first procedure.

Important Notes:

  • Everyone heals differently—some clients may need more pigment than others.

  • The touch-up is intended to refine shape, color, and retention—not to change your design or start over.

  • Additional touch-ups beyond the initial one will be subject to a fee.

  • If your touch-up is scheduled after 12 weeks, a higher fee will apply.

We want you to feel confident and radiant. If you have concerns after your appointment, please contact us—we’re happy to guide you through next steps.

Legal & Terms of Service

  • By booking an appointment, you agree to all studio policies, including our cancellation, no-show, rescheduling, and touch-up policies.

  • Scheduling fee(s) are non-refundable and non-transferable.

  • Final results vary depending on your skin type, health, and aftercare compliance.

  • Results are not guaranteed. Every face is unique, and while we strive for perfection, we cannot guarantee exact symmetry or retention.

Terminology You Should Know

These definitions are here to clarify expectations and protect us both:

• Scheduling Fee – A non-refundable $200 deposit to reserve your appointment (applied to your total).

• Touch-Up – A follow-up session 6–12 weeks after your initial appointment to perfect healed results.

    ________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Here are a few general tips:

    • Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood thinners 24 hours prior

    • Avoid sun exposure, chemical peels, and retinoids for at least 2 weeks prior

    • Arrive well-rested, hydrated, and with clean skin

    ________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Can I use my phone during the appointment?

    We ask that you silence or turn off your phone during the procedure. This helps you relax and ensures your technician can work with full focus and precision.

  • What should I expect during the healing process?

    You will receive detailed aftercare instructions after your service. Some common healing phases include:

    • Slight swelling or redness (first 24–48 hours)

    • Flaking or peeling (days 3–7)

    • Color softening and settling (up to 6 weeks)

    *Results vary per person and are not considered final until after your touch-up session.

    ________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Do I need a touch-up?

    Yes, all cosmetic tattoo procedures require a follow-up session 6–12 weeks after your first appointment to perfect the shape, color, and saturation.

  • Can I book if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

    For safety reasons, we do not perform cosmetic tattoo procedures on pregnant or breastfeeding clients. Your health comes first.

    ________________________________________________________________________________________________

    What if I have allergies or medical conditions?

    It’s your responsibility to disclose any health concerns or allergies in your client forms. If you have any conditions like diabetes, autoimmune disorders, or are on blood thinners, please consult your doctor and bring a note if needed.

    *If in doubt, always ask—your health is our priority.

  • What is cosmetic tattooing?

    Cosmetic tattooing (also known as PMU or permanent makeup) is a specialized form of tattooing that uses fine needles and pigments to enhance natural features like brows, lips, and eyes. Unlike traditional tattoos, cosmetic tattoos are meant to fade over time and require periodic touch-ups.

    ________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Is it painful?

    Everyone’s pain tolerance is different. Most clients report minimal discomfort, often describing the sensation as a light scratching or pressure. A high-quality topical numbing agent is used throughout to keep you comfortable.
