FAQs/Policies
DEPOSITS | CANCELLATION & Rescheduling POLICY
At Black Rabbit Tattoo, a deposit is required to secure all tattoo appointments. Your deposit will be applied toward the total cost of your tattoo, or toward the final session of larger multi-session projects.
Deposits are $125 for appointments lasting four hours or less and $250 for full-day sessions. All deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable.
If you need to reschedule your appointment, we ask that you notify the studio by phone, text, or email at least 48 hours in advance. Reschedules made with proper notice will have the deposit transferred to the new appointment date up to two times.
Appointments that are canceled, rescheduled with less than 48 hours’ notice, or missed without notice (no-shows) will result in forfeiture of the deposit. Deposits are intended to compensate the artist for reserved time that is often difficult to refill on short notice.
Please note that significant design changes requested after the consultation or booking process may require additional consultation time, pricing adjustments, or a new deposit depending on the scope of the changes.
Our artists are often booked several months in advance, and rescheduled appointments are subject to availability. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to creating something amazing with you.
Before your appointment
Please arrive well-rested, hydrated, and having eaten a substantial meal before your appointment. Tattooing can be physically demanding, and proper preparation helps ensure a more comfortable experience.
Wear clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed. Feel free to bring snacks, drinks, headphones, or other items that help you stay comfortable during longer sessions.
Please avoid excessive alcohol consumption the night before your appointment and refrain from using recreational drugs before your session.
If you are feeling ill, experiencing symptoms of a contagious illness, or have recently experienced a significant health change, please contact the studio as soon as possible to discuss rescheduling options.
ArrivAL & LATE POLICY
If you are running late, please call or text the studio as soon as possible.
Clients arriving more than 15 minutes late without prior communication may be considered a no-show and may forfeit their appointment and deposit. Depending on the artist’s schedule, late arrivals may require a shortened session, rescheduling, or cancellation.
We understand that emergencies happen and will always do our best to work with clients when reasonable communication is provided.
What to Bring
Please bring the following to your appointment:
• Government-issued photo ID (required for every appointment)
• Payment for your session (cash preferred, but other payment methods may be available depending on your artist)
• Snacks and beverages for longer sessions
• Comfortable clothing appropriate for the tattoo placement
Optional items that many clients find helpful:
• Headphones or earbuds
• A phone charger
• A small pillow or blanket for longer appointments
Due to limited space in the studio, we ask that guests be kept to a minimum. One support person is generally welcome but may be asked to wait in the lobby depending on space and the nature of the appointment.
TOUCH-UPS
All tattoos heal differently. While every effort is made to ensure a solid, long-lasting tattoo, occasional touch-ups may be necessary.
Touch-up requests should be submitted within 90 days of the original appointment. Touch-ups required due to normal healing may be provided at the artist’s discretion. Tattoos that have been neglected during the healing process, exposed to excessive sun, picked, scratched, or otherwise improperly cared for may incur additional charges.
FINGER TATTOOS & HIGH-WEAR AREAS
Please note that finger tattoos, hand tattoos, side-of-finger placements, palms, and other high-wear areas are particularly prone to fading, ink loss, and uneven healing due to constant movement, friction, washing, and exposure to the elements. Because of these factors, healing results can vary significantly from person to person.
While we will apply these tattoos to the best of our ability, we cannot guarantee how they will heal or retain ink. For this reason, complimentary touch-ups on finger tattoos and other high-wear areas are not guaranteed and may be subject to additional charges at the artist’s discretion.
Age Requirement
AGE REQUIREMENTS Black Rabbit Tattoo only tattoos clients who are 18 years of age or older. A valid government-issued photo ID is required for every appointment, regardless of age. We do not tattoo minors under any circumstances, even with parental consent. No exception.
Design Requests & ARTWORK APPROVAL
To ensure your artist has adequate time to prepare, all major design revisions, reference photos, and concept changes should be submitted at least 48 hours prior to your appointment.
Minor adjustments can typically be made on the day of your appointment. However, significant design changes may require additional drawing time, rescheduling, or a new deposit depending on the scope of the revisions.
For custom artwork, designs are generally not sent out prior to appointments. Your artist will review the design with you at your appointment and make any necessary adjustments before tattooing begins.
All custom artwork remains the intellectual property of the artist until the tattoo has been completed and paid for.
