Retainers:

  • Retainers are required for all tattoo bookings. A retainer is an upfront payment to secure my availability to work with you on your tattoo project.

  • My standard retainer is $200.

  • A larger retainer and/or a drawing fee may be requested for very large, ongoing work such as full sleeve, full back etc.

  • Retainers and drawing fees are non refundable.

  • The retainer amount will be subtracted from your final tattoo session, unless forfeited due to multiple reschedules.

    Retainer info:

    • Retainers are taken to hold your tattoo spot in my calendar and as good faith that you are serious about receiving the tattoo you have requested.

    • Retainers are valid for one reschedule with adequate notice of at least four weeks.

    • Reschedules with less than four weeks notice will lose retainer and a new retainer will be required for rebooking; please view Rescheduling Policy for full details.

    • A second reschedule with adequate notice will require a new retainer + first retainer will be forfeit. The amount of the new retainer is $250.

    • I reserve the right to discontinue working with you in the event of a third (or more) reschedule with no refunds. If I continue working with you, the same rules as a second reschedule will apply.

    • Retainers are valid for one year after being placed unless I have communicated with you otherwise due to special circumstances. If you need to reschedule but are unavailable until after a year of placing your original retainer, your current retainer will be forfeit and a new one will need to placed in order to complete booking.

    • Tattoo design may not be used by another tattoo artist or for any other purpose (such as branding or advertising) by client unless pre-arrangement has been made in writing with the originating artist (Jessica Van Herring.)
