BOOKING POLICIES
Thank you so much for choosing to get tattooed at Lunar Studios Art and Tattoo! Tattooing has been a dream of mine, and to create this space is very special to me.
While getting tattooed should be a great and fun experience for you, please respect that this is my place of work and rules are set to keep my business running smoothly. Please read below for my policies, questions asked that are already answered on this page will be ignored.
You must be 18 YEARS OR OLDER with a valid ID (state ID, permit/drivers license or passport) to get tattooed at Lunar Studios.
APPOINTMENT ONLY.
•HOW TO BOOK•
On the 1st of every month at 10am for roughly 48 hours I open booking for the following month (ex. On May 1st I will open scheduling for June.) This sometimes changes, please look for any updates on my Instagram.
You will fill out a detailed form under my “appointment request form tab” and if I want to take on your request I will then email back asking for further information and send booking information. Deposits are required at the time of booking.
Please refrain from messaging me outside of this time unless it’s a serious scheduling question. You can send messages through the “CONTACT US” tab.
•SERVICES•
I specialize in fine line black and grey tattooing, with stipple/dot shading techniques. I only accept color designs if I feel it fits my style. I do both large and small pieces.
I offer up to 2 free touch ups on tattoos done by me, anything more will cost a small fee.
I offer touch ups on existing tattoos not done by me for a fee as well.
•LATE/ CANCELLATION POLICY•
Arriving more than 10 minutes late without notice to your appointment will result in a no call/no show, and a forfeit of your deposit. I am very understanding, please let me know BEFORE the 10 minute grace period is up if you will be late so I can see if I’ll still have time for you.
I value my time just as I’m sure you value yours.
You may reschedule your appointment up to 3 TIMES (doesn’t count if I’m the one rescheduling you, or for legitimate reasons like death in the family) after the 3rd reschedule if you still do not make it to your appointment, your appointment will be canceled and you will need to make a new deposit and schedule as new.
•DEPOSITS•
Deposits are NON REFUNDABLE and will come off of the total cost of your tattoo. You may reschedule in advance up to 3 times (preferably 24 hours as a common courtesy) and your deposit will carry over to your rescheduled appointment.
-Canceling your appointment without rescheduling is a forfeit of your deposit.
-Rescheduling 24 hours or less before your appointment is a forfeit of your deposit.
-No call/no showing (ex. not contacting me before your 10 minute grace period) will be a forfeit of your deposit. If you then make another appointment, you will have to make a new deposit. Please plan ahead for your appointment.
•PRICES AND DESIGNS•
I charge per tattoo, not hourly. This is dependent on the design you choose, the amount of detail, the time it takes to draw and tattoo it, etc. My minimum price is $110. (Note, If you want one tiny tattoo it is preferable to get 2 tiny tattoos instead and a better use of time/materials.)
I do not offer any kind of in person consultations, and a drawing will not be made before a deposit is paid.
An approximate price will be given to you at the time of booking but that is subject to change depending on the actual size your tattoo ends up being/details/supplies used/time, etc. A 6% sales tax will be added on to every amount the day of. Aside from deposit which is online, appointment remainder prices and tips are CASH, VENMO OR CASH APP ONLY. I no longer accept cards as a form of in person payment.
I don’t draw your design until the day of or night before your appointment usually. If you want to see your design before your appointment please let me know beforehand, but note it will only be 2 days max before your appointment with the amount of designs I usually have.
If you want to change your design completely, please let me know at least 2 days before your appointment. I schedule your appointment length based on what you’re getting so that may change if you change your design.
Areas I will not tattoo include front of stomach lower than sternums, throats, feet (sides and tops), armpits, palms, insides of fingers, inside of lips, faces (aside from behind the ear), or private areas.
*Finger tattoos and behind the ear tattoos will only be accepted if they are small and simple tattoos as those areas cannot fit large amounts of detail, and fingers are more prone to fading.
I do not tattoo portraits of people, photo realism, watercolors, color designs outside of a dainty fine line style, large black work designs such as Celtic or tribal, significant others’ names, hateful words or offensive imagery, etc. Whether I agree to a cover up or not will vary from person to person.
•GUESTS AT YOUR APPOINTMENT•
I have a small limited seating, while only one guest is preferred, you may bring up to TWO guests maximum. I do not allow children unless they are of infant age and can be secured in a car seat carrier. I use sharp objects, and need to be distraction-free, so I do not allow children for their safety and for the best interest of your tattoo experience.
•HOW TO PREPARE•
Please arrive prepared to your appointment with a valid photo ID (name/birthday and photo must be present and updated on the ID) I can not tattoo you if you do not bring this. Please arrive wearing the proper clothing for the area you are being tattooed at. I am not able to have curtains where I am at. If you need help knowing what to wear please message me.
I do allow the use of numbing cream but you will have to purchase it, I do not sell or offer any at appointments. Please reference my Instagram highlight “book info” for numbing cream link. You can also search it as “snte tattoo numbing cream” on Amazon.
Please do not take ibuprofen or any other kind of pain killer before your appointment, this will not help with pain during your tattoo and will only make you more susceptible to bleeding and infection.
You cannot get a tattoo if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or are on certain medications. Please consult with your physician if you have any concerns.
•AFTER CARE•
Touch ups are free if needed after 2 weeks of healing time (only free on tattoos done by me)
Please avoid submerging in any kind of pool/lake/ocean water, direct sunlight, excessive sweating in area, spray tans or tanning beds for 2 full weeks after getting tattooed.
Aquaphor or Aveeno non fragranced lotion is recommended for your tattoos healing. This is to be applied 3-4 times a day for 2 weeks while your tattoo is healing.
