All bookings require a non-refundable, non-transferable deposit as a retainer to secure your session.
No design work will commence without a deposit. An appointment is NOT confirmed or reserved until the deposit is paid.
You will be given the address of the studio once your deposit has been paid.
The deposit amount varies based on the session you are booking, please see the below price list for futher information.
You are required to pay this deposit upon booking an appointment with me. EFTPOS is the preferred payment method, please contact me to arrange an alternative if this is not an option for you.
48 hours notice is required for any rescheduling, failure to provide this notice will result in losing your deposit and another payment will be required to secure your appointment.
You may only reschedule once (1 time), any further reschedules will require a new deposit.
The deposit amount will be deducted from the final cost of the tattoo once the service is completed. Multi-session tattoos will have the deposit deducted at the final sessions payment.

All tattoos are quoted based on the details provided by you at the time of booking. Any changes to the tattoo may result in the price being adjusted to reflect the requested changes.

Pre-drawn and flash designs have set sizes and prices. Any changes to these designs may result in an adjustment in pricing.
Pricing is influenced by a number of variables, these include but are not limited to; size, colour, placement, estimated time and difficulty as well as materials cost.
Full Day Session (approx. 6-8 hours) - $1000.
Half-Day Session (approx. 4 hours) - $550

Please note: The full quoted rate applies even if the session ends early due to discomfort or pain, as it is unlikely the remaining time can be filled by another client.
Quotes are only valid for 30 days.
Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable, except in the following circumstances:
If I am unable to fulfill the appointment due to unforeseen circumstances, such as illness or emergency, an alternate appointment will be offered for my soonest availability. If you are unable to reschedule, a refund may be offered at my discretion.
If a client provides at least 48 hours notice for cancellation or rescheduling, the deposit may be transferred to a new appointment (up to 1 time). If this is not feasible, a refund may be issued at the discretion of Scalebound Ink.
Deposits will not be refunded for no-shows, late cancellations, or failure to comply with my policies.
Once a tattoo service is completed, no refunds will be issued. I ensure clear communication throughout the tattoo process to ensure client satisfaction. If there are concerns about the completed tattoo, I encourage my clients to contact me or my studio promptly to discuss possible solutions.
If a tattoo service cannot be completed due to unforeseen circumstances on the part of Scalebound Ink, such as equipment failure or artist incapacity, a refund may be issued for the portion of the service that was not completed.
To request a refund, clients must contact Scalebound Ink directly via email, providing relevant details and reasons for the refund request.
Refund requests will be reviewed and processed within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 7-14 business days.
In certain exceptional circumstances, Scalebound Ink may issue refunds at its discretion, outside of the stated refund policy. Such circumstances will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
