WELLINGTON TATTOO STUDIO

​

DEPOSITS​

A deposit is required to confirm every booking. All deposits are non-refundable and will be deducted from the final tattoo cost or the last session if multiple sessions are needed. A deposit is also required for any custom artwork. However, this does not give you ownership of the design. All artwork remains the intellectual property of the artist unless it has been specifically commissioned.

​

 

CANCELLATION + RESCHEDULING​

Once a deposit has been made, any changes to your appointment must be made at least one week in advance. Failure to give this notice will result in the loss of your deposit. If you cancel your appointment altogether, your deposit will also be forfeited.

Appointments can be rescheduled once or twice consecutively (excluding emergencies), but any further changes will require a new deposit.

If no appointment is made within three months of paying the deposit, the deposit will expire.

 

DESIGNS​

There is no separate drawing fee as this is included in the overall cost of the tattoo. Designs are usually shown on the day of your appointment. If you would prefer to view your design earlier, please let your artist know and they may be able to arrange a time to do so. In cases where a complete re-draw is requested, an additional deposit may be required. Please note that each artist follows their own design process, so early viewings or redesigns may not always be possible.

Any changes or additions to the original concept must be discussed and finalised well before the appointment to allow enough time to prepare the design properly. Minor adjustments on the day are usually fine and can be done easily.

We always make time before starting to review the design with you and ensure everything is exactly how you want it.

 

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT​

For sessions lasting several hours, it’s crucial not to consume alcohol or drugs beforehand, including the night before.

Stay well-hydrated, get a good night’s sleep, and eat a substantial breakfast on the day of your appointment. Tattooing puts your body under stress, so being well-rested and nourished helps keep your energy and blood sugar levels stable. You’re encouraged to bring snacks and drinks; sugary treats and drinks are also available at the studio if needed.

​

BRINGING GUESTS​

As the studio space is limited, we ask that you do not bring friends or family unless a parent or legal guardian is required. Extra people can create distractions and interfere with the work. If you need emotional support from someone, that's totally fine — just inform us ahead of time so we can accommodate accordingly.

 

CAN I BRING CHILDREN?​

Please do not bring children to the studio. The environment is not suitable for young kids due to the presence of nudity and mature content.

 

PAYMENT PLANS​

We do not offer payment in instalments. Tattoos are considered luxury items and should be a well-earned treat or gift. We don’t want our clients or artists to face financial strain because of a tattoo.

Payment must be made in full on the day of your appointment.

 

PAYMENT OPTIONS​

The studio accepts bank transfer.

 

MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENTS​

Tattoos are available to individuals aged 16 and over, but those under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian on the day of the appointment. Both parties must bring valid identification.

If you’re 18 or older, just bring your own valid I.D.

 

TOUCH-UPS​

We do offer touch-ups, although they are often unnecessary if the tattoo heals well and without issues.

One complimentary touch-up is provided within six months of completing your tattoo. If poor aftercare is the reason for the touch-up, a fee may be charged at the studio’s discretion.
