Booking Policy
Thank you for choosing Bloodline Tattoo! Every tattoo is custom designed specifically for you. Your deposit secures your appointment time and covers the time spent planning, communicating, and designing your tattoo. Please read the following carefully before booking.
Deposits
All appointments require a non-refundable deposit of $100–$200, depending on the size and complexity of the project.
Your deposit reserves your appointment date and time and is applied toward the final cost of your tattoo. If your tattoo requires multiple sessions, the deposit will be applied to the cost of your final session.
By paying your deposit, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to this Booking Policy.
Design Process
Designs are not normally shared before your appointment unless previously discussed with your artist. When designs are shared in advance, they are typically sent no earlier than the last couple of days leading up to your appointment.
This is standard practice and allows our artists to focus on each client’s project in chronological order while giving every design the time and attention it deserves.
Minor adjustments are welcome and can usually be made before or during your appointment.
Design Changes
Your deposit covers the design discussed and approved during the booking process.
If you decide to completely change your tattoo concept, subject, style, placement, or significantly alter the original idea after paying your deposit, additional design time will be required, and your appointment may need to be rescheduled.
Minor Adjustments
Minor adjustments are small changes that do not require the artist to redesign the tattoo from scratch and are typically included as part of the design process.
Examples include:
Slight size adjustments.
Small placement modifications.
Minor changes to lettering or spelling.
Adjusting line thickness.
Small changes to shading or contrast.
Removing or adding small details.
Minor repositioning of existing elements.
Major Adjustments
Major adjustments are changes that require significant redesign or additional drawing time beyond the original concept discussed during booking.
Examples include:
Changing the tattoo to an entirely different subject or concept.
Requesting a different style than originally discussed.
Significant changes to the composition or layout.
Adding multiple new elements that substantially change the design.
Changing the placement to an area that requires the design to be reworked.
Requesting a complete redesign after the design has already been approved.
Major adjustments may require additional design time, an additional deposit, and, if necessary, your appointment may be rescheduled to allow adequate time for the new design.
If a design has already been approved and you later request a complete redesign, an additional deposit will be required.
The determination of whether a requested change is considered a minor or major adjustment is at the discretion of the artist.
Appointment Changes
We require at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to reschedule your appointment.
Providing 48 hours or more of notice allows your deposit to be transferred to a new appointment.
Cancellations or reschedule requests made with less than 48 hours’ notice will result in the loss of the deposit.
No-shows also forfeit the deposit.
Choosing Your Artist
Every tattoo artist has their own artistic style, strengths, and approach.
We encourage all clients to carefully review each artist’s portfolio before booking to ensure their style matches your vision. Booking with an artist whose work aligns with your expectations helps produce the best possible result and reduces the need for major design revisions.
Questions
If you are unsure about your design, placement, size, or any part of the process, please contact us before approving your design or paying your deposit. We’re always happy to help make sure everyone is on the same page before your appointment.
