POLICIES & SCHEDULING
RESULTS: Healed results may vary due to the organic nature of skin. Results are not guaranteed, and additional sessions (priced accordingly) may be needed to achieve your desired look. Adherence to the pre-care and aftercare guidelines are strongly advised for optimal results.
FOLLOW-UPS: If you miss your follow-up session (required 5-6 weeks after the initial treatment), or don’t book one within 10 weeks, you will have to book a new full session and will be charged the full price.
PREGNANCY + NURSING: We cannot legally tattoo you while you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you become pregnant between sessions, you must notify Tête-à-Tête LLC and your follow-up appointment will be postponed until 3 months postpartum or after nursing.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE: To maintain the quality and longevity of your body art, we recommend annual maintenance treatments. These are scheduled a year after your last touch-up appointment, which must have been done at Tête-à-Tête Studio. If your body art is not at least 70% faded by your next annual maintenance appointment, then please consult with your artist before booking. You will have to pay full price if (a) you are NOT a returning customer for that service, or (b) you miss the one-year deadline. It is the client’s responsibility to schedule their annual maintenance appointments on a timely manner.
COVER-UPS + CORRECTIONS: If you’ve had work done in the desired treatment area by another artist, (even if it’s old or faded) please email a photo for pre-approval. If you skip this step, we reserve the wright to cancel your appointment and refund your deposit.
RESCHEDULING: Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferrable. If you’d like to reschedule, you may do so ONCE before the 48 hour window. If it is less than 48 hours, you will need a new deposit to rebook for a later date. If you are sick, please stay home, and email us to reschedule.
CANCELLATION: If you cancel your appointment for any reason with less than 48 hours notice, your will be charged $50 cancellation fee.
LATE POLICY: Please call to say you’re running late! Having to rush compromises the quality of our work and your results, and it affects our other commitments or appointments. If you are 15+ minutes late or miss your appointment, we won’t be able to accommodate you. Your procedure will be cancelled, and your deposit will serve as a no show/cancellation fee. This means you’ll need a new deposit to book again.
18+ ONLY: You must present a valid photo ID to be tattooed. Please don’t bring children with you to your appointment, as it is not a safe or supervised environment for them, and it can distract the artist. If you can’t find care for your child in advance, please reschedule before the 48 hour window.
***A consultation prior to booking your appointment is highly recommended. If the artist decides that you are not a candidate for a specific treatment or you are disrespectful to your artist, we reserve the right to refuse service.
