  • You understand that no guarantees can be made on the results of semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing and/or permanent tattooing as many factors such as skin type, lifestyle, aftercare and prior medical conditions can affect the outcome and are beyond the artists control

  • You understand that with any tattoo services comes the risk of infection, particularly when aftercare is not followed. If any infection occurs you are responsible for seeking advice from a medical professional. All services are performed with sterile instruments and are performed according to the Body Modification & Health and Safety Code in Manitoba therefore any infection occurring after a procedure is the responsibility of the client

  • Appointment times will only be booked during my scheduled hours of Monday - Thursday 10AM to 4PM

The procedure you are consenting to is a semi-permanent and/or permanent procedure that is individual to you. Every effort is made to ensure you are consenting to services that are in your best interest but there is a risk that you may be dissatisfied with the result. Your artist will take steps to minimize this risk but in the event that the result does not meet your expectations your artist assumes no liability.

By signing this document, you acknowledge that you have been given every opportunity to ask questions, and all questions have been answered to your satisfaction. You acknowledge that you have read the information above and agree to continuing with the procedure.

Harassment/Discrimination Policy

 Racism, discrimination, harassment and otherwise aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated. In the event that a client displays this type of behaviour the client will be charged the full cost of their appointment and will be asked to leave the studio. Clients that display this behaviour (online or in studio) will be permanently banned from booking services in the future.

Retainer Fee /Designs

Retainer fees are non refundable with no exceptions. 

Retainer fees are used to secure a spot in my schedule and to pay for the time and effort it takes to draw up your design. Please ensure that prior to sending a retainer fee you have read all of my Policies and Important Info.

It is the responsibility of you (the client) to make sure that all ideas and requirements for your tattoo are communicated prior to sending a retainer fee. This allows for the most accurate quote and ensures that we are on the same page for your overall design. 

Designs will be reviewed on the day of the appointment and adjustments can always be made, but complete redraws where an appointment must be rescheduled will require a new retainer fee, due to the reasons listed above. If you have new ideas or changes to your design after sending the retainer fee please communicate them in a timely manner (prior to the 48 hour cancellation policy).

Retainer fee will be deducted from the total cost of your appointment at time of payment. Your retainer fee will expire after 12 months if not applied to a service. 

Appointments can be rescheduled a maximum of two times before a new retainer fee will be required.
