CANCELATIONS AND RESCHEDUALING

If you’re not able to make it to your appointment please let me know at least 72 hours in advance. We can transfer your deposit to a new date and get everything switched to a better time.

Failure to notify me of a need to cancel or reschedule or a no-show will result in forfeited deposit. Anything over 20 minutes late without notice will be considered a no show. Multiple no shows will result in no longer being able to book. A third reschedule will require a new deposit to maintain the date.

I always want to be as accommodating as possible, please chat with me if you need to make a change.

Deposits are not refundable

DESIGN CHANGES

If you’re having second thoughts on the design or placement, I ask for at least a week’s notice of any changes you’d like to make. Small changes are acceptable but if you are changing your whole idea your may be asked for a new deposit.

Some designs also take longer to draw and plan; proper notice of changes allows me time to give the drawing the attention it deserves. Without such notice we may need to reschedule to allow time for the drawing.

Please note that I mostly accept design inquiry's based on projects that align with the vision I have for my work and the direction that I’m passionate about; although I have a wide range of subject matter I truly enjoy working with, it is possible that a new idea with very different subject matter/placement/sizing limitations will not be something that aligns with my work. With this said I would love to hear your ideas!

DEPOSITS

I currently charge $180 per hour for custom work. My flash designs are priced at slightly lower flat rate relative to the design and placement.

Deposit amounts:

Standard Piece (anything that can be finished in 1-2 sessions): $100

Minimal tattoos: $80

Large scale work (sleeves/full front/back pieces): $150-$300

The amount will come off of the total at the final session once the tattoo is fully finished.

Deposits are not refundable, please be sure before booking.

Will I see my drawing before hand?

Artwork will be available on the day of your tattoo. I generally finish everything up the night before our scheduled appointment to keep it fresh in my mind - we can go over everything the day of together! If there are specific details or stylistic elements you do or do not want included in the design, or a specific coverage or size, just let me know in you inquiry.

Can I bring a guest to my appointment?

I understand needing a pal when your getting a tattoo, though a crowd when I am focusing is a bit distracting. If you choose to bring a guest please limit it to one person, and give me a heads up before hand. We have a couple waiting areas and I am more then happy to pull up a chair so they can keep you company.

Please make sure all guests in the studio are 18+

Can I use numbing cream?

I know getting a tattoo is tough and numbing cream can be tempting... and I want you to be as comfortable as possible during your appointment... But, I do prefer to tattoo without the use of topical numbing creams, so your tattoo heals with the best results! I will always offer a Bactine spray after the linework is completed which has 2.5% lidocaine in its ingredients. This often takes the edge off and makes it more bearable. I am happy to offer breaks, snacks and good conversation to get through the hard times.

If you absolutely cant go without numbing cream, Please chat with me when booking and we can discuss it :)

Where are you located?

I own and tattoo out of Heartache Tattoo Located at 607 Columbia St. New Westminster, BC. We are a block away from New Westminster or Columbia Skytrain stations.
