BOOKING UPDATE (April - June)

So I  am changing up my booking system (again, yes I know, but hear me out).
 
So for Jan-March I tried out booking just one month in advance (still love) and also opening my custom sessions via my newsletter once a month (did not love).
 
So for April - June I am going to be introducing a WAITLIST! So instead of there being a free-for-all on appointments (which favoured the more technologically able, and people that didn't work weekends) I will be booking all custom projects via a waitlist. So basically anybody can add a custom project submission at any point. Then at the end of each month I will work through the list and book up the following month. Being on the list does not guarantee an appointment (that's going to depend on dates available) but it does give everyone a fairer chance - I think.
 
This will take a lot more work for me, and patience from all of you, but I think it feels more fair. 
 
So we'll see how this goes until June, and if we hate it we will change it again 🙂
 
Feel free to let me know how you feel about this new idea.
 
Also I will still be keeping the same process with my priority booking list and Flash bookings (so I'll be booking those at the end of the month for the following month). Sign up to my newsletter for flash bookings!

Here's a recap of my pricing…
 
Half day bookings ($500+taxes) - will accommodate up to a hand-size tattoo, or up to 2.5 hours of my time.
Full day bookings ($1000+taxes)  - will accommodate up to a letter-size tattoo, or up to 5 hours of my time.
Anything larger- will be done in multiple sessions (can be half or full day sittings), they must be booked consecutive days or at least 3 weeks apart. 
 
Any large projects are a commitment and I prefer to work on projects every month. If you are planning on leaving longer than this between your sessions please let me know. Examples can be found here!
 
These prices are set and will not change, even if the tattoo takes less time. You are paying for the time booked, not the time taken. It means you will have my full attention and will either have no-one else taking away my brain power that day, or only one other person.
 
The time lengths are also set. I will no longer be working excessively long days (I've gotta start looking after my body properly). If a tattoo is bigger than expected and doesn't fit into the time scheduled it will be finished on another appointment.
 
You will have to make a $200 deposit payment in order to book your appointment. The system will let you pay via credit, debit or paypal. Deposits are non-refundable and only transferable to future appointments up to two times with 72 hours notice.
 
Finally, if you are traveling to get tattooed by me I recommend taking out travel insurance to protect yourself. If any unforeseen circumstances occur and we need to rearrange your appointment I cannot reimburse the cost of flights/hotels etc.
Let me know if you have any Qs!
