Nix’s Shop Policy + Process

Written By Nix .

What you should expect after booking a session with me.

My top priority is creating a comfortable environment where you can express yourself authentically. To make sure everything runs smoothly on tattoo day, here is a short guide to my studio policies, scheduling, design process, and my guest policy.

Key Takeaways

  • The deposit is non-refundable

  • Yes, you can bring a guest (they must be respectful and supportive)

  • All designs are shown day-of (accommodations listed below)

  • Don’t be late, there are penalties (and I hate charging you extra)

  • Avoid losing your deposit by giving adequate notice before rescheduling (I beg)

Deposits & Booking

To secure your appointment slot, I require a non-refundable deposit:

  • Tattoos under $400: $50 deposit.

  • Tattoos $400 and above: $100 deposit.

I keep deposit fees as affordable as possible because I understand that life happens. Your deposit goes directly toward reserving dedicated studio time for your project and will count toward the final price of the tattoo.

The Design Process & Seeing Your Artwork

To protect original custom artwork from online theft, all tattoo designs are shown on the day of the appointment.

If waiting until the day of your appointment makes you feel anxious, don't worry! Let me know, and we can either:

  • Early Arrival Option: We can schedule you to arrive 30 minutes to an hour early to review and adjust the artwork together.

  • Pre-Appointment Consultation: We can set up a virtual or in-person consultation beforehand to talk through your ideas, preferences, and concerns in detail.

Punctuality & Late Policy

Permanent body modifications should never be rushed, and I need time to prepare for my next client after our session ends.

  • 0–20 Minutes Late: Grace period.

  • 20–30 Minutes Late: A $10 late fee is added to your total.

  • 30–45 Minutes Late: A $25 late fee is added to your total.

  • 45+ Minutes Late: Your appointment will be cancelled, your deposit is forfeited, and a new appointment must be booked.

Please reach out as soon as possible if you know you are running behind or won't be able to make it so we can reschedule!

Rescheduling & Cancellations

If you need to reschedule or cancel, please provide at least 48 hours' notice.

  • With 48+ Hours' Notice: We can move your deposit to a new date.

  • With Less Than 48 Hours' Notice: Your deposit becomes non-refundable, as there isn't enough time to offer that appointment slot to another client.

Guest Policy

Getting tattooed is a special experience, and you deserve to feel comfortable.

  • You are welcome to bring up to two supportive guests with you to your session.

  • Please choose guests who are respectful of the space, the craft, and your big day!

Thank you for trusting me with your art! Stay blessed, and I can't wait to work with you!
