Each artist requires a deposit of $50-$100 (based on total cost) to book an appointment. Deposits count toward the total price of the tattoo as long as the original scheduled date and time is kept. If the client needs to reschedule or cancel the appointment, the deposit is voided and covers the artist’s time. A new deposit is needed for a new date/time to be set. All deposits are non-refundable. 
‍
The Parlor is cash only so all deposits are only accepted in person. Consultations are not required and available by request, in-person or through DM/email.For custom work: Please provide the artist with a brief description of the tattoo, any reference photos, and location of the tattoo on the body. Pricing sheets are located on Instagram for flash (tattoo art on the walls of the shop). All custom work is $50-$200 more than flash pricing based on pricing sheets.If you want flash, feel free to stop by during business hours to check out our thousands of tattoo designs! Or, let the artist know prior to your appointment and time will be set aside for you to pick.

Please come to your appointment at the exact scheduled time. Early arrivals must be prepared to wait unless otherwise communicated. A few tips before your appointment to make the session more comfortable:
‍
1. Eat a full meal with balanced carbs, protein and fats prior to your appointment to prevent becoming light-headed during the tattoo.
‍
2. Avoid any blood thinning medications prior to your appointment (ex: ibuprofen and acetaminophen).
‍
3. Any antibiotics must be finished and out of your system 2 weeks prior to your appointment to ensure they will not affect the healing process.
‍
4. Do not use any numbing creams. They are not made by tattooers and clog the pores. This makes the skin more difficult to tattoo and can lead to complications in the healing process.
‍
5. Sunburns and rashes cannot be tattooed over. The process of tattooing over scar tissue is slightly different than tattooing undamaged skin, so please communicate if scars are being covered prior to your appointment. Designs may be altered with client approval to ensure the best outcome.
‍
6. A good night of rest always helps with the healing process, prior to and after the tattoo session.
‍
7. Avoid heavy alcohol consumption at least 2 days prior and 2-3 days after the tattoo session.
‍
8. Please bring a valid photo ID. The Parlor Tattoo is only accepting clients 18+. If underage we can refer you to a shop that accepts minors with parental consent.  
‍
9. For best results, moisturize the tattoo location 2-4 times daily with an unscented lotion 1-2 weeks prior to the tattoo. This is not required, but can result in easier application of the tattoo.
‍
10. No self tanners or spray tans will be tattooed over. Please make sure skin is free of any dyes prior to your appointment. 
‍
11. The Parlor is Cash Only! Please show up at your scheduled appointment time to get the exact price, and while the artists are completing set up tasks there will be time to run to an ATM nearby.
