Deposit & Refund Policy

A legal disclaimer

The information provided on this page explains the official Deposit & Refund Policy for BlackInk Tattoo Studio.
These terms help ensure fairness, protect the time of our artists, and provide clarity for all clients.

The policy outlined here is legally binding once a booking or deposit is made.
If you have any questions about the policy or how it applies to your appointment, please contact us before booking.

Refund Policy - the basics

At BlackInk Tattoo Studio, deposits and payments secure your appointment time and cover the artist’s preparation, design work, and loss of working time in case of cancellations.
Because tattoo services are custom and time-based, refunds operate differently from product-based businesses.

Deposits

  • All bookings require a non-refundable deposit.

  • The deposit protects the artist’s time and covers preliminary design work.

  • Deposits are deducted from the final session price.

Rescheduling

  • You may reschedule your appointment with at least 48 hours’ notice.

  • An appointment can be rescheduled a maximum of 2 times.

  • After the second reschedule, a new deposit is required to book again.

  • Rescheduling with less than 48 hours’ notice also requires a new deposit.

Cancellations

  • Cancelling an appointment for any reason results in a full loss of the deposit.

Refunds for Services

Since tattoo work is a personal, custom, and time-based service:

  • No refunds are provided for completed tattoo sessions.

  • Refunds are not issued for design time, studio time, or dissatisfaction with personal design preferences.

If an issue arises, clients may contact the studio so we can assess the situation and offer an appropriate solution where possible.

What is Covered in Our Deposit & Refund Policy

Our Deposit & Refund Policy explains clearly:

  • When a deposit is required and how it is applied to your tattoo session

  • Non-refundable conditions for deposits

  • How many times an appointment can be rescheduled (maximum of 2 times)

  • The notice period required to reschedule without losing a deposit (minimum 48 hours)

    • Completed tattoo sessions

    • Artist time, design work, or preparation

This policy is designed to protect both you as the client and the artist’s time, ensuring a smooth and professional booking experience for everyone.
