AllyssaStrainArt Tattoo Policies
You must 18 or older to get a tattoo and must be able to provide a valid government issued photo ID in order to get tattooed.
Only one guest other than the client is allowed in the room. No additional guests are allowed unless approved by Allyssa. Your guest must be at least 18 years of age. Any additional guest will be asked to wait in our lobby. If you are getting a matching tattoo with someone else, the other attending person counts as your one guest.
No food is allowed to be eaten in the studio. You may eat lunch in our guest lobby/break room. Small snacks that do not produce crumbs are permitted in the room. Please clean up after yourselves and please be mindful of not making excessive noises.
Studio tattoo minimum is $125, no exceptions.
All deposits must be paid within 24 hours of booking. If it is not paid within the 24 hours, you will no longer be booked for an appointment on your designated date.
You may pay using venmo, cash, apple pay, or card. If you decide to use card/tap to pay you will be subject to a 6% charge.
Design Policy:
To avoid art theft unfortunately I will not be able to show the tattoo design prior to your designated appointment time. If you would like minor changes upon seeing the design I am more than happy to make these changes for you. If the design changes are major and require 30+ minutes of drawing time, you will be asked to reschedule your appointment and your deposit may be forfeited. This is why it is crucial to explain your ideas thoroughly and show plenty of inspiration/reference photos prior to booking.
Cancellation Policy:
All appointments require a minimum of 48 hours notice for cancellation. If canceled with over 48 hours notice your deposit may be applied to a future appointment date. All deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE even with advance notice.
If you show up to your appointment with any type of skin damage (ex. sunburn, scrapes, broken skin) you will be unable to get tattooed and it will be considered as a cancellation. If you notice that your skin has any type of damage prior to the 48 hour mark, please notify me immediately.
Reschedule Policy:
All appointments require at least a 48 hours notice to reschedule. If at least 48 hour notice is given, your deposit may be applied to your new appointment. If your appointment is rescheduled more than once, your deposit will be forfeited and a new deposit will be required or the tattoo may be required to be paid in full depending on the scenario
Late Policy:
Please let me know if you are running late for an appointment. If you are more than 10 minutes late for an appointment, you will be forfeiting your deposit, lose your appointment and be required to reschedule for a new appointment date and leave a new deposit. Please do not show up more than 5 minutes before your appointment as I may be still setting up or working with another client as I do not have the space to accommodate another person.
No Show Policy:
If you do not show up for an appointment and have not communicated that with me then you will be forfeiting your deposit and if you would like to make another appointment the tattoo must be paid in full. If a no show happens more than once unfortunately you will no longer be able to book an appointment with this studio.
Touch Up Policy:
One necessary touch up related to the technical application and healing of a tattoo is complimentary if done within 3 months of the tattoo appointment (unless the tattoo is on a non-guaranteed body part, see below). Touch ups cannot be done until the tattoo is FULLY healed. Touch ups due to client failure or negligence to follow the aftercare instructions provided by AllyssaStrainArt are not free and will be charged at my discretion. Changes to the original agreed upon tattoo are not considered a touch up and will be charged at my discretion as well. Healing results of tattoos on the head, neck, ears, elbow, face, feet, or hands/fingers cannot be guaranteed and may not be eligible for free touch ups. If your tattoo is on a non-guaranteed body part it will probably need multiple touch ups and may be charged a fee each time at my discretion.
Refund Policy:
NO REFUNDS for any reason.
Guest Policy:
You may bring only one guest with you to accompany you while you get tattooed. Your guest must be over the age of 18. No kids or minors are permitted in the studio and can not wait unaccompanied without an adult in the lobby. Out of respect for the other surrounding studios in the building.
