Free Tattoo policy
"Deposit Policy for Free Projects: I require a deposit for my tattoo projects to secure your commitment and ensure the smooth progression of your sessions.
The deposit amount varies based on the overall cost of the project. This deposit serves multiple purposes: to confirm your attendance for each session and to secure your dedication to completing the project with me. Additionally, it safeguards against the possibility of initiating a project with me and finishing it elsewhere.
For instance, if the total cost of the project is $1000 CAD (plus tax) and is scheduled across 5 sessions, a deposit of $1000 CAD will be required. This deposit will then be divided equally among the sessions, resulting in a $200 CAD cash back for each completed session.
Upon attending and completing each session, you will receive a refund of $200 CAD in cash, effectively returning the deposit amount paid for that specific session.
