Terms & conditions
Please take some time to read the following so that I can best serve you.
CONSULTATIONS:
I offer complimentary virtual and in person consultations to anyone considering me as their tattoo artist. This allows us to get to know each other a bit and see if we are a good fit. I am very serious about your ideas and what I can do for you. I would love to be the artist who creates the tattoo of your dreams.
Remember, this is a complimentary service and I look forward to meeting with you!
DETAILS UPON BECOMING A CLIENT:
Serious clients only please. I take great pride in my work and the clients who wear it. I am not one to do a quick, cheap, thoughtless tattoo. I want your tattoo to be beautiful. I want you to be proud to wear it. My goal is to give you the best, most positive tattoo experience of which I am capable.
HOW TO BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT:
To book your appointment I require a $200 non-refundable deposit for one appointment. If you wish to book multiple appointments it will be an additional $50 per appointment booked.
Example: to book 3 appointments, the deposit would be $200 + $50 + $50 for a total of $300.
The full deposit will NOT be subtracted until your very LAST appointment if you have booked multiple appointments.
The deposit is due at the time of booking for every tattoo, with no exceptions. Keep this in mind when you book your appointment. This deposit goes toward the cost of your tattoo. I can take payment via:
CASH
VENMO
CASHAPP
APPLEPAY
Remember, the deposit is absolutely NON-REFUNDABLE. I require 72 hours notice for a reschedule for the deposit to still be valid.
If you need to re-book your appointment for any reason, I charge a $50 rebooking fee. This is a fee for the time it takes to find and rebook a new client. This fee does not go toward the cost of the tattoo. It is a separate fee. So please make sure you keep your appointments locked in! Be advised, this fee is for clients who give 72 hours notice of rebooking. If the client does not give this notice they forfeit their current deposit and must pay a full deposit to book a new appointment.
PRE- DRAWN DESIGNS & CONCEPTS:
Sometimes have pre-drawn designs or concepts I would love to tattoo. When you sign up for my newsletter and follow me on instagram, you will be the first to know about them. If I decide to offer deals or flat rates on these concepts I will specify. So go check them out! These designs may be sprinkled throughout my instagram profile, stories and/or website.
Remember, these concepts can be used as inspiration for a unique and custom piece created just for you. All you have to do is reach out if you are interested.
TOUCH UP APPOINTMENT:
It is extremely important that you take incredible care of your tattoo during the healing process. Because I often work within a large scale, and in multiple sessions with each client, I will clean up as I go. Cleaning and touching up my work (if needed) as I go is part of the whole process. I am extremely meticulous in all that I do. I will always make sure everything is as clean and precise as humanly possible. At the final session I will asses how your tattoo looks and talk with you about a potential finessing appointment if it is needed.
I am always very open with my clients about my process and how I work. If you have any questions for me, I encourage you to ask. I want you to feel completely comfortable and confident in my capabilities.
PRICING:
My rate is hourly; therefore, the price of your tattoo will depend on the amount of time put into it.
Remember, there are many factors that make up the price of your tattoo - size, color, placement, detail. If you have a budget for your tattoo, please let me know, and I can be upfront about what I can or cannot do in that budget.
I cannot give estimates for large scale tattoos, sleeves, leggings, etc; the pricing is hourly.
MY RATE:
I have an hourly rate of $250 per hour.
My rates are subject to change as I become quicker in my craft, more knowledgeable, and experienced, as any tattoo artist does over time. That being said, the rate you are quoted will stand for the appointment(s) booked, but is not guaranteed for future appointments.
AFTER CARE:
I always go in depth with each of my clients about after care for the tattoo. I want the very best for you and I will answer ALL of your questions! This is so important. Your tattoo is a huge investment. It adorns your body and compliments who you are... So you and I both want your tattoo to heal perfectly! Pay close attention when we discuss after care. I will also have an instruction card for you.
PAYMENTS:
I accept the following forms of payment:
CASH
VENMO
APPLEPAY
CASHAPP
DRAWINGS:
I will always have a plan for your tattoo idea ahead of time. That being said, I do not send out my drawings to clients. A huge part of my process is placement and freehand work. I cannot accurately portray the outcome of your tattoo via email. This is a personal thing I discuss with you, in person, at your appointment. We will go over the plan when you come in and make any adjustments as necessary. This part is really fun and exciting. So don’t be too nervous! Remember, at this point we will have already discussed your desires and I will have drawn and prepared to meet your expectations... Or hopefully to have exceeded them!
COMMISSIONS:
I am open to taking painting commissions. Please feel free to contact me about this so we can discuss your ideas. I do not do commissions for tattoo drawings. Commissions are for paintings only.
TRAVELERS:
It is highly recommended that any out of town clients purchase travel insurance for plane tickets or hotels. Life can be uncertain at times and I would hate for anyone to lose out on their hard earned money due to a last minute conflict- or any other emergency for that matter. It is so important to take necessary precautions and stay protected. This gives both of us peace of mind if any sudden changes were to occur.
Deposits are not refundable so it is important that you be able to change your travel arrangements if something happens.
EXTRA INFO:
-I like to stay within my style of tattooing but welcome new ideas and concepts, provided my tattooing style is welcomed in the process.
-I take great pride in customer service and responding to all client inquiries. That being said, please be patient as I have a very specific way of organizing them. For this very reason I have a lovely assistant, Millisa, who will be corresponding with you about your questions, ideas, or concerns.
FINAL NOTES:
I really appreciate your interest, and thank you so much for reading this information. I hope we can work together on creating some amazing tattoos! If you agree to all terms and conditions, and want to move forward with the process- please fill out the submission form provided.
Once the form has been submitted, you will be contacted by my assistant Millisa and she will talk with you about booking an appointment, consultation, or being added to the waitlist.
Thank you and God bless you!
Enjoy the Day,
Maribeth Klaar
