Studio policies

Terms & Conditions

Please review these policies before booking with Aching Hands Tattoo.

01

Conditions

  • 19+ y.o. only
  • Payment in cash
  • Please eat and drink water before your appointment. Do not come if you are not in shape to receive a tattoo.
  • No alcohol, or weed consumption 24 hours before appointment. This will impact the quality of your tattoo as it thins the blood and impacts the ink going into the skin.
  • Bathe before your appointment.
02

  • Deposits are non-refundable if there is a total cancellation of the appointment, regardless of the reason.
  • Please contact me at least 72 hours in advance if you need to reschedule your appointment. The deposit will be transferable only once (for a second change of date, you will need to make another deposit of $50).
03

Designs

  • The price range shown for flash is only an approximate price. I charge $180/hr. The price will therefore depend on the placement, the size, as well as several other variables!
  • Hourly rates start when the machine is running. The Information session, placement of stencil, and bandage are not charged time.
  • $180 minimum (if the appointment is under 1 hour the minimum will be charged.)
  • I do not tattoo the stomach, head, the inside of the hands and the face. Thank you for respecting my limits!
  • At the moment my work is strictly done in black ink.
