A NOTE ABOUT DEPOSITS:
APPOINTMENTS GRANT YOU DISCOUNT ELIGIBILITY. DEPOSITS ARE REQUIRED TO FORMALLY SECURE AN APPOINTMENT. APPOINTMENTS ARE NOT CURRENTLY REQUIRED BUT ALLOW YOU TO SAVE MONEY, AS THEY REPRESENT A COMMITMENT TO GETTING WORK PERFORMED. A DEPOSIT IS A TWO-WAY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CLIENT AND THE ARTIST/SHOP.
ALL DEPOSITS ARE 100% NON-REFUNDABLE. THIS MONEY WILL NEVER BE RETURNED REGARDLESS OF THE SERVICE. NO EXCEPTIONS! ONCE SUBMITTED, IT IS GONE FOREVER, ONLY TO BE APPLIED FOR THE SERVICE(S) YOU REQUEST. (No changes can be made within 1 hour of your appointment, if you cancel or reschedule within that timeframe or after, you will forfeit your deposit no matter the amount.)
PLEASE DO NOT BOOK UNLESS YOU ARE CERTAIN YOU WISH TO HAVE SERVICES PERFORMED AND THAT WE ARE ABLE TO PERFORM THEM. (IE. TATTOOS: BE SURE YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THE STYLE,LOCATION, PRICING, SUBJECT MATTER, AND THE ARTIST YOU HAVE BOOKED WITH. PIERCINGS: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE APPLICABLE OR COMPATIBLE ANATOMY.)
FREE CONSULTATIONS ARE AVAILABLE 7 DAYS A WEEK BY APPOINTMENT. (PLEASE BOOK IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THAT ARE UNANSWERED OR UNADDRESSED THROUGH THIS WEBSITE.) IF YOU NEED MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS ABOUT PRICING, THE PROCESS OR WHAT TO EXPECT, YOU CAN BOOK A FREE CONSULTATION BEFORE SUBMITTING MONEY FOR A DEPOSIT. YOU ALSO CAN BOOK FREE CONSULTATIONS FOR US TO INSPECT AREAS TO BE TATTOOED, INSERT AND REMOVE JEWELRY, VERIFY YOUR ANATOMY, OR ANALYZE ISSUES YOU MIGHT BE HAVING WITH A TATTOO OR PIERCING WHETHER PERFORMED BY US OR NOT.
DEPOSITS ARE SAFE FOR 12 MONTHS UNLESS YOU FORFEIT OR LOSE YOUR DEPOSIT. (WE DO NOT WISH TO HOLD ONTO YOUR MONEY LONGER THAN 1 YEAR. WE ARE NOT A BANK! PLEASE DO NOT BOOK UNTIL YOU HAVE A GOOD IDEA OF WHEN YOU WISH TO COME IN.)
DEPOSITS CAN BE USED TOWARDS ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE OFFERED THROUGH OUR STUDIO. YOU CAN CONVERT IT TO PIERCINGS, GIFT CARDS, MERCHANDISE, OR AFTERCARE.
DEPOSITS ARE TAKEN OUT AFTER THE FIRST PENETRATIVE SERVICE PERFORMED ON YOU. THE MOMENT A TATTOO OR PIERCING NEEDLE BREAKS YOUR SKIN, YOU ARE CHARGED AND YOUR DEPOSIT IS APPLIED.(WE DO NOT ROLL OVER DEPOSITS, STACK DEPOSITS, OR ALLOW YOU TO CHOOSE HOW AND WHEN IT IS APPLIED.)
WE PRIORITIZE APPOINTMENTS, WALK-INS ARE SEEN AS ARTISTS BECOME AVAILABLE.
MEMBERSHIPS DO NOT REQUIRE A DEPOSIT. (Not available to minors; Booking with Ryan ONLY)
GUESTS ARE ALLOWED, BUT GUESTS ARE GENERALLY DISCOURAGED FOR ALL APPOINTMENT TYPES AS THEY ARE UNNECESSARY AND MANY TIMES DISTRACTING FOR BOTH ARTISTS AND THE CLIENT. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE GUESTS ARE ADMITTED TO THE WORKING AREA. WE PREFER YOU COME TO YOUR APPOINTMENT ALONE.
IF YOU HAVE AN OUTSTANDING CREDIT OR WISH TO USE A GIFT CARD, YOU MUST MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. YOU CAN NOT SIMPLY WALK-IN TO USE IT. IN ORDER FOR US TO VERIFY WE HAVE THE TIME TO COMPLETE YOUR REQUEST, WE ASK THAT YOU USE THE BOOKING APP AT ALL TIMES!
PROPER COMPLIANCE AND PAPERWORK IS REQUIRED FOR ALL MINORS. BE SURE YOU DON’T FORGET THINGS. NO EXCEPTIONS! (IT IS ILLEGAL IN THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA TO PERFORM A TATTOO ON A MINOR WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THEIR PARENT (MUST BE ON BIRTH CERTIFICATE) OR LEGALLY VERIFIED GUARDIAN. YOU MUST BRING IN THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT OR YOU WILL BE TURNED AWAY.)
(*If you attempt a chargeback, proper legal action will be taken, including possible criminal complaint charges.)
YOU WILL LOSE YOUR DEPOSIT IF:
YOU ARE 15 MINUTES LATE AND DO NOT CALL, DIRECT MESSAGE, EMAIL, OR NOTIFY THE SHOP/ AND OR ARTIST YOU ARE SCHEDULED WITH. IT IS COMMON COURTESY.
YOU ARE 30 MINUTES OUTSIDE OF YOUR APPOINTMENT WINDOW AND YOU DON’T RESCHEDULE, YOU WILL BE ASKED TO RESCHEDULE IF YOU NOTIFIED US OF A LATE ARRIVAL PRIOR TO 15 MINUTE GRACE PERIOD ELAPSING AND STILL ARE 1/2 HOUR LATE. THE BOOKING APP ALLOWS YOU TO RESCHEDULE UP TO 1 HOUR BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT, AFTER THAT IT IS TOO CLOSE TO YOUR APPOINTMENT TIME TO MAKE CHANGES.
WE DO NOT TOLERATE LATENESS OF MORE THAN 10 MINUTES FOR FREE CONSULTATIONS. IF YOU MISS YOUR WINDOW FOR A FREE CONSULATION, YOUR APPOINTMENT WILL BE REJECTED IN THE FUTURE.
YOU MAY ONLY RESCHEDULE 2 TIMES, AFTER THAT, YOUR DEPOSIT WILL BE FORFEIT. GIVE YOURSELF ENOUGH TIME WHEN BOOKING. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THINGS COME UP, BUT WE ASK YOU TO ONLY BOOK WHEN YOU ARE SURE AND AVAILABLE.
YOU ARE FOUND TO HAVE PROVIDED MISLEADING, INCOMPLETE, OR OTHERWISE DECEPTIVE INFORMATION. ADDITIONALLY, YOU WILL BE BANNED FROM THE STUDIO AND YOUR DEPOSIT KEPT/FORFEIT. ERRORS AND TYPOS ARE FORGIVEN, BUT DELIBERATE LIES OR MISINFORMATION IS NOT ONLY ILLEGAL BUT WILL GET YOU BLACKLISTED FROM EVER RETURNING IN THE FUTURE.
(Note: if you try to book and you are banned, your deposit will STILL not be returned to you, NO EXCEPTIONS!)
YOU OR ANY MEMBER OF YOUR PARTY IS RUDE, IMPOLITE, IMPATIENT, DISRESPECTFUL TO ANY MEMBER OF STAFF OR ANOTHER CUSTOMER, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATING ANY OF OUR INTERNAL RULES. (IE: NO PUBLIC INTOXICATION, NO VAPING, NO DRUG USE, NO UNWANTED PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH ANOTHER VISITOR OR EMPLOYEE, THEFT, DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, HASSLING ABOUT PRICES OR RULES). YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE AND YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR MONEY BACK.
