Cancellation / Reschedules
Currently, I am asking for 72 hours notice to cancel your appointment if you want a deposit refund and 48 hours notice if you want to reschedule your appointment. If you get sick with covid, or something more severe happens, of course I can be flexible with this timeframe, but please communicate with me asap. I do not offer refunds on deposits for cancellations that are past the 72 hour notice period, so please be sure you want to get a tattoo by me and can afford to do so before booking a slot that could be someone else’s! If you reschedule more than twice, I will ask for a second deposit.
Deposits and Pricing
Because I am still a learning apprentice, my rate is currently lower than it will be in the months to come when I become more skilled and practiced. My rate is $80-100 for a palm-sized piece and smaller (refer to FAQ about sliding scale). I do require a deposit of $50 to book with me and this amount will go toward paying for your tattoo. PLEASE BRING CASH TO PAY FOR YOUR TATTOO. I only accept cash at this time.
Once I raise my rate, I will be offering different sliding scales and payment plans for low income folks. I want to be able to sustain my practice, and I also recognize we are doing the best we can and money is hard! I do ask that you honor my work though and choose a rate that you can afford and not try to take advantage of it. I am also someone trying to get by with a lot of people (family and friends) I support through this work.
Covid
I, along with the shop I apprentice at, require masks in the shop at all times. There is an outside space to eat and chill unmasked if you need. I wear masks in order to make the space safer for clients who are immunocompromised and more at-risk.
Touch-Ups
Touch ups are free and welcomed (especially since I’m a beginner)! Please email me at tobefreetattoos@gmail.com with a photo of your healed tattoo to schedule a touch up.
