We believe in fairness, clear communication, and mutual respect.
These policies exist to set expectations on both sides and help ensure a good experience for everyone — clients and artists alike.

By booking an appointment with Inkvictus Studios, you acknowledge, understand, and agree to the policies outlined below.

Deposits

  • A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to book an appointment and is applied toward your service total.
  • Deposits are valid for 6 months from the date of payment. Unused deposits expire after that time.
  • Appointments are booked with the studio. If an artist becomes unavailable, we may reassign the appointment or apply the deposit to another service.


Cancellations & No-Shows

  • Please notify us as soon as possible if you need to reschedule or cancel.
  • Changes made with less than 24 hours’ notice may result in a forfeited deposit.
  • Missed appointments may result in a 100% service fee, including the deposit.
  • Missed complimentary services (consultations, touch-ups) may incur a $50 no-show or rebooking fee.


Refunds

  • Deposits are non-refundable.
  • Completed services are not eligible for refunds.
  • If you have concerns about your service, contact us within 48 hours so we can discuss next steps.
  • Initiating a chargeback after services are rendered or policies are agreed to may result in loss of future booking access.


Eligibility & Safety

Age Requirements

  • Tattoos are 18+ only.
  • Piercing eligibility is based on age, anatomy, and maturity. 
  • Some piercings are available for minors with a parent or legal guardian present and required documentation.

Requirements for Minors
For any piercing performed on a client under 18:

  • A parent or legal guardian must be present for the entire appointment
  • Parent/guardian must provide a valid government-issued photo ID
  • Minor’s birth certificate is required
  • Names must match exactly
  • If anything is missing or does not match, we cannot proceed

Pregnancy & Nursing

Medical Considerations

  • Certain medical conditions, medications, or recent cosmetic treatments may affect eligibility and may require clearance.

Respectful Conduct
We are a welcoming, respectful space. Harassment, aggression, or inappropriate behavior — online or in person — will result in removal and loss of booking access.

Studio Discretion
We reserve the right to make decisions on a case-by-case basis to ensure fairness for everyone involved.
