We believe in fairness, clear communication, and mutual respect. These policies exist to set expectations on both sides and help ensure a good experience for everyone — clients, artists, and estheticians alike. Whether you're coming in for a tattoo, piercing, or esthetic service, the same values apply across the board. By booking an appointment with Inkvictus Studios, you acknowledge and agree to the policies outlined below.
Deposits
A deposit is how we hold your spot and your provider's time. Here's what you need to know:
· A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to book and is applied toward your total on the day of your appointment.
· Deposits are valid for 6 months from the date of payment. After that, they expire.
· Your appointment is booked with the studio. If your provider becomes unavailable, we'll do our best to reassign or apply your deposit to another service.
· Quotes are valid for 60 days from the date they're issued. If you need a little extra time, just reach out and we'll work with you.
Scope Changes & Pricing
We do our best to give you an accurate quote based on the information you share with us at the time of booking — whether that's a tattoo description, piercing placement, or esthetic service. Here's how changes work:
· If your requests change significantly after your quote is issued, your price may need to be adjusted. Your provider will reach out as soon as they're aware of the change.
· We'll always communicate any adjustments before your appointment so there are no surprises when you arrive.
· If a scope change affects your budget and we can't find a solution that works for both sides, we'll do our best to find a fair path forward together.
We know life happens and ideas evolve — we just want everyone on the same page before you come in.
The Tattoo Design Process
Every piece we create is made with intention. To give you the best result, here's how our tattoo design process typically works:
· Most designs are created closer to your appointment date. This lets your artist design specifically for your body, placement, and the overall flow of the piece.
· Design collaboration and any adjustments typically happen in person at your appointment. We don't usually send designs for approval ahead of time.
· If you have strong preferences or specific elements that are important to you, please share them at booking so your artist has everything they need from the start.
Cancellations & No-Shows
We totally understand that things come up. All we ask is that you give us a heads up:
· Please let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule.
· Changes made with less than 24 hours' notice may result in a forfeited deposit.
· Missed appointments without notice may result in a 100% service fee, including the deposit.
· Missed complimentary services (like consultations or touch-ups) may incur a $50 no-show or rebooking fee.
Refunds
We stand behind our work and want you to love what you leave with. Here's our refund policy:
· Deposits are non-refundable.
· Completed services are not eligible for refunds.
· If the studio needs to cancel or reschedule your appointment, your deposit will be fully protected and applied to your new date.
· If you have any concerns about your service, please reach out within 48 hours so we can make it right.
· Initiating a chargeback after services are rendered or policies have been agreed to may result in loss of future booking access.
Aftercare & Follow-Ups
We want every service to heal and settle exactly as intended. Here's what to expect after your appointment:
Tattoos
· Complimentary touch-ups are available within 3 months of your appointment for work done at Inkvictus Studios.
· Touch-ups cover healing-related issues, not design changes. New additions or alterations are considered separate appointments.
· Touch-ups are not available for tattoos that weren't properly cared for during healing. We'll always walk you through aftercare so you're set up for success.
· Finger, hand, foot, and other high-wear placements may naturally require additional touch-up sessions as part of the healing process.
Piercings
· We're happy to check in on your healing piercing at no charge. Just reach out and we'll get you in.
· Jewelry changes and downsizing appointments are separate services and may be subject to a fee.
Esthetic Services
· If you have any concerns following an esthetic service, please reach out within 48 hours so we can address them promptly.
· Results vary based on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. We'll always give you personalized guidance to help you get the most out of your treatment.
Eligibility & Safety
Your safety is our priority. Please review the following before booking:
Age Requirements
· Tattoos are for clients 18 and older, no exceptions.
· Piercing eligibility is based on age, anatomy, and maturity.
· Some piercings are available for minors with a parent or legal guardian present and the required documentation.
For Minors (Piercings Only)
· A parent or legal guardian must be present for the entire appointment.
· Parent or guardian must provide a valid government-issued photo ID.
· Minor's birth certificate is required, and names must match exactly.
· If anything is missing or doesn't match, we cannot proceed.
Pregnancy & Nursing
· We do not perform tattoos or piercings on clients who are pregnant or nursing.
· Some esthetic services may not be appropriate during pregnancy or while nursing. Please let us know at booking and we'll help you figure out what's safe for you.
Medical Considerations
· Certain medical conditions, medications, or recent cosmetic treatments may affect your eligibility. Please let us know at booking if anything applies to you, and we may request clearance before proceeding.
Respectful Conduct
Inkvictus is a welcoming, safe space for everyone. We ask that all clients and guests treat our artists, piercers, estheticians, and staff with the same respect we extend to you. Harassment, aggression, or inappropriate behavior — online or in person — will result in removal from the studio and loss of future booking access. We take this seriously.
Studio Discretion
We reserve the right to make decisions on a case-by-case basis to ensure a fair and comfortable experience for everyone involved — clients and artists alike. We'll always aim to communicate openly and find solutions that feel right for both sides.
