Booking, deposits and cancellations

Appointments are secured with a non-refundable deposit that is applied toward the tattoo cost; cancellations result in forfeiture of that deposit and repeated last-minute changes or no-shows may require a new deposit to rebook.

Scheduled visits must fit inside the shop’s published weekday hours, Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 6 PM; the studio is closed on Saturday and Sunday so plan consultations and appointments within those times.

Payments, financing and pre-booking contact

Buy Now, Pay Later financing is available through the brand in person for bookings between $50 and $4,000; approval must be completed before your appointment, so confirm financing before your scheduled time.

If you need to ask design questions or confirm details before booking, send a message to Mercedes Wichman using the website email form to reach the artist directly ahead of a consultation.
