SHOP POLICIES
General
We often have availability during the current month, but many of our artists book multiple months in advance. Most of our artists designate the month they are booking on their instagram profiles.
When submitting a booking request please give all of the information, if all information is not given we cannot make a proper evaluation for booking and may not be able to make an appointment. If you cannot get the booking form to work, please email appts@nicetattooparlor.com with all of the information from the booking form.
If you do not hear from us after no less than a week, please feel free to give us a call to confirm that we received your booking
Due to a high volume of requests please allow us 3-5 days to respond
Individual artists may take deposits, all deposits are non refundable and go towards the final payment. Your time slot is not confirmed until you place a deposit.
Please arrive on time to your appointment. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, you will be considered a no call/no show and your deposit will be voided. You may or may not be able to be seen but your deposit will be voided.
Cancellation/Rescheduling
Artists reschedule appointments at their own discretion. If you wish to reschedule an appointment please contact your artist at least 72 hours in advance. If you cancel without rescheduling, give less than 72 hours notice, or do not show up for your appointment, the deposit is nullified.
If a deposit is nullified and you wish to make a new appointment, a new deposit is required.
Cost/Estimates:
Our minimum is $200 and goes up from there based on the size, placement and detail. If you have a specific budget, please let us know when filling out the form. We can also definitely give you a price estimate, but it is just an estimate, it may cost more or less depending on the final tattoo. The more details we know about it, the better!
Guests
Due to limited space, guests are not allowed in the shop for emotional support. Please do not bring guests with you, but there are a bunch of coffee shops, eateries and shops to hang out in while they wait.
