+ WHAT IS YOUR LATE / CANCELLATION POLICY?

I encourage clients to be transparent about changes in their COVID-19, flu, and other illness exposure or symptoms leading up to their appointment. If you or someone close to you may have been exposed, please contact me ASAP and I will work with you. Clients will not be penalized for taking precautions to protect others. However, if I feel this courtesy is being abused repeatedly by an individual, I may change my policy as a result.

Per shop policy, booking fees and all payments for services rendered are non-refundable. By booking with Pink Suede, you are agreeing to this policy. Our late and cancellation policy will be strongly enforced:

• If you are 15 min late to your appointment, your booking fee will be forfeited and you will be rescheduled.

• If you are a no-call no-show, cancel your appointment within the 7 day window, or miss your appointment due to lateness, your booking fee will be forfeited. If you choose to make a new appointment at this time, you will be required to pay the full cost of the service at the time of booking. This cost of service is non-refundable.

• Clients may reschedule an appointment one time. As long as that rescheduling is arranged more than 7 days prior to your initial start time, your booking fee will roll over. Any additional reschedule, or appointments rescheduled less than 7 days before the start time will result in booking fee forfeiture.

All of my clients’ time is important to me, and when days are full, one late client can throw off everyone else for the day! If you have any questions about booking, pre-care, after care, booking fees, or anything else, send me a quick email. I'm happy to answer!

+ WHAT SHOULD I KNOW BEFORE MY TATTOO?

Read carefully and plan accordingly!

• Please eat before your appointment to avoid feeling light headed/passing out.

• I cannot tattoo skin that is comprised -- ie: injury, rash, or sunburn. Please contact me ASAP if you need to reschedule your appointment for any of these reasons!

• If you are on antibiotics, I cannot tattoo you, even if you’re on your last few days and no longer showing signs of illness. No exceptions. You must be off antibiotics for 2 weeks prior to your tattoo.

• If you have been on Accutane any time in the past year, you can not get tattooed. No exceptions.

• If you are sick, I will not tattoo you. Please contact me first so we can discuss our options! If you come into the studio and you are sick, you will be denied service and your booking fee will be forfeited.

• If you are pregnant or nursing, I cannot tattoo you. No exceptions.

+ AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS (SECOND SKIN BANDAGE)

This is an open wound and should be treated with care. Follow these instructions closely to insure the best possible end results. If you have any questions, please reach out to me at info@pinksuedetattoo.com.

Tegaderm/Saniderm is a clear medical bandage that will make healing a breeze! This method is best used on tattoos that are not on joints or areas of the body that have a lot of movement. When used properly, the bandage will protect your tattoo from water, bacteria, and prevent you from sticking to clothes/bedding as you heal.

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

• Your tattoo will take approximately 1-2 weeks to heal.

• You will be bandaged with a clear bandages when you leave the shop. During the first 24 hours, you will notice a build up of lymph, blood, and ink inside the bandage. This looks gross but don't worry - it is normal!

• After 2-4 days, remove the bandage and wash with warm water and gentle soap (Liquid Dial gold, Cetaphil or Cerave are great!). I recommend doing this in a warm or hot shower to make the bandage remove a bit easier. When you wash, you may see some color appear to wash away with it. This is normal! After washing, pat completely dry with a clean towel.

• At this point you can start using a simple lotion like Lubriderm on the area.

• Do not use any bar soaps, oils, serums, or harsh cleansers on your tattoo during this time.

• Avoid sweating in the area for 5-10 days.

• Avoid sun exposure on the area while healing. Once healed, always use sunscreen to protect your tattoo.

• Avoid pools, oceans, saunas, and hot tubs until fully healed. Avoid submerging or soaking your tattoo.
