Updated booking and cancellation policies

Hello wonderful people!

It’s the start of a fresh, new year, so we’re taking this opportunity to refresh some of Katie’s booking policies. The below changes are in an effort to make things more efficient for her clients, and a bit more steady for Katie herself. As always, Katie is so appreciative of the support and trust you consistently place in her.

Booking changes, effective January 1 2023:

1. Clients will have their choice of 2-3 hour sessions, or 4+ hour sessions when booking in for work-in-progress pieces.

2. Each session will now have a min. session amount as follows:
a. 2-3 hour sessions—min. of $500
b. 4+ hour sessions—min. of $1000
c. New piece sessions—min. of $1000

Please note: Katie’s hourly rate of $250 is not increasing. The minimum amounts are based on her hourly rate and the minimum hours booked per session. Any additional sit time over the minimum session time (2 or 4 hours) will be added to the minimum session amount as per her hourly rate.

3. Deposits are valid for one year and are non-refundable. If your piece hasn’t been worked on over the year, you’ll need to put down a new deposit to book another session.
a. Large, multi-session pieces, sessions need to be booked once every 6 months min. to maintain deposit validity. The best case (and preferred) scenario is to come in every 6-8 weeks until your piece is completed.

4. Katie appreciates each and every client that comes through the studio. While tipping and gifts are always so appreciated, they are not mandatory.

Cancellation Policy:

Sometimes life happens and things need to be rescheduled. Katie is happy to be as flexible and accommodating as possible, while maintaining her schedule as best she can for herself and for her other clients.

With that in mind, any cancellations need to be received a minimum of 5 days before your scheduled appointment.

Cancellations with less notice, will result in forfeiture of deposit and a new deposit will be required to book another appointment. This new session will not be able to be moved or rescheduled.

Please note: The cancellation notice minimum does not apply if you are sick. If you fall ill before your appointment, please email as soon as you can and we will re-book you. Please do not come to your appointment if you are ill.

Thank you all so much for your understanding.

We’re looking forward to seeing you all in the studio and bringing your pieces to life!

If you have any questions on the above, don’t hesitate to reach out. Here’s to an incredible 2023!

Studio Mask policy

Though BC has lifted its mask mandates as of March 11, 2022, Katie asks that all clients continue to wear masks to their sessions and in the studio. Tattooing is very intimate work by nature, and Katie feels this is the safest way to work while continuing to protect her clients and herself. With these ever-fluctuating circumstances, Katie will be revisiting her mask policy this spring. Should you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch. As always, thank you for your trust and support 💖
