Policies

Clients must be at least 14 years of age to receive a tattoo.

A valid government-issued photo ID is required for all clients ages 18 and older.

For Minors (Ages 14–17):

Minors may receive tattoos with the express consent of a parent or legal guardian, provided all required documentation is presented.

The following requirements must be met:

• A parent or legal guardian must be present throughout the entire tattoo procedure.
• The parent or legal guardian must provide a valid government-issued photo ID.
• The minor must provide a valid state-issued, federal-issued, or school-issued photo ID.
• Documentation verifying the relationship between the minor and parent or legal guardian may be required.
• A parent or legal guardian must complete and sign the required minor consent and waiver forms in person before the procedure.

All identification and consent requirements must be satisfied before the appointment can proceed. No exceptions.

Ink'd by Cultura De La Reyna reserves the right to decline any tattoo request based on age, placement, design, or other considerations.

Accepted payment methods include cash, credit/debit cards, and Cash App.

All remaining balances are due in full upon completion of each tattoo session.

Payment arrangements may be considered on a case-by-case basis but must be discussed and approved prior to the scheduled appointment. Payment arrangements requested during or after a tattoo session will not be accepted.

Tips are always appreciated but never expected.

All tattoo appointments require a nonrefundable deposit to secure your scheduled date and time.

Deposit Requirements:

• Custom Tattoos: 25% of the quoted tattoo price.
• Flash Tattoos: $30 flat deposit.

Your deposit is applied toward the total cost of your tattoo, with the remaining balance due upon completion of your session.

Appointments are not officially confirmed until the required deposit has been received.

For custom tattoos, design preparation will not begin until the required deposit has been received. Deposits are nonrefundable and are subject to the rescheduling, cancellation, and no-show policies outlined below.

I understand life happens! Please communicate with me in advance if any circumstances arise that may affect your appointment.

A minimum of 24 hours' notice is required to cancel or reschedule your tattoo appointment.

Rescheduling

Clients are permitted one reschedule with proper notice. The original deposit may be transferred to the new appointment date when at least 24 hours' notice is provided.

Additional rescheduling requests may require a new deposit.

Cancellations & No-Shows

Deposits are nonrefundable.

Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice, same-day cancellations, and missed appointments will result in forfeiture of the original deposit.

A new deposit will be required to book another appointment.

Late Arrivals

Late arrivals will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

If you anticipate arriving late, please communicate with me as soon as possible. Depending on the circumstances and remaining appointment time, your session may need to be adjusted or rescheduled.

Repeated No-Shows

Repeated no-shows or last-minute cancellations may result in an increased deposit requirement or refusal of future bookings.

I understand that unexpected circumstances happen! Please communicate with me as soon as possible if something affects your appointment. Exceptions may be considered at the artist's discretion.

Custom tattoo designs are created specifically for each client based on the agreed-upon concept, placement, size, and details.

A deposit is required before any custom design work begins. Designs will be shared prior to the scheduled appointment to allow time for review and feedback.

Design Changes

Minor adjustments may be made on the day of your appointment, provided they do not significantly alter the original design or required appointment time.

Significant changes to the original concept, size, placement, or level of detail may require additional design time, a revised price quote, rescheduling, and/or an additional deposit.

Design Approval

Clients are responsible for reviewing their design and communicating any requested changes before tattooing begins.

Once the final design and placement have been approved and tattooing has started, additional changes may not be possible.

Custom Artwork & Deposits

All custom designs are prepared following receipt of the required deposit.

If a client chooses not to proceed with their appointment, including choosing to have the design tattooed by another artist, the original deposit remains nonrefundable.

Deposits compensate for reserved appointment time and design preparation and do not constitute a separate purchase of the artwork.

My goal is to create a piece you'll love! Please communicate your ideas and concerns throughout the design process so we can bring your vision to life.

Your health and safety are a priority. Please review the following requirements before your tattoo appointment.

Appointment Preparation

Clients must arrive sober, well-rested, hydrated, and having eaten a proper meal before their appointment.

Clients who arrive intoxicated or under the influence of drugs or alcohol will not be tattooed.

Please refer to Appointment Details for additional information regarding preparation and aftercare.

Medical Conditions & Medications

If you are pregnant, have a medical condition that may affect your tattoo procedure or healing, or take medications such as blood thinners, please consult your healthcare provider before booking.

Pregnancy-related tattoo requests will be evaluated individually and may require medical clearance. Approval to proceed is not guaranteed.

Relevant health conditions, allergies, medications, and sensitivities must be disclosed on your tattoo consent form before the procedure.

Do not discontinue prescribed medications without guidance from your healthcare provider.

Skin Conditions & Illness

Tattooing cannot proceed over sunburned, broken, infected, or significantly irritated skin.

If you are experiencing an illness, active infection, or a condition that may affect your ability to safely receive a tattoo, please communicate with me before your appointment.

Depending on the circumstances, your appointment may need to be postponed until it is safe to proceed.

Artist Discretion

I reserve the right to postpone or decline any tattoo procedure if proceeding may compromise the health or safety of the client or artist.

Support guests are welcome! I understand that having someone accompany you can make your tattoo experience more comfortable.

Children

Please do not bring children to your appointment unless previously discussed and approved.

Pets & Service Animals

Pets are not permitted inside the studio for health and safety reasons. Service animals are welcome in accordance with applicable accessibility requirements.

Studio Etiquette

Guests are expected to respect the studio environment and remain clear of the tattooing area to maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable workspace.

There is no set limit on support guests, provided their presence does not interfere with the tattoo procedure or compromise the safety and cleanliness of the studio.

I reserve the right to ask anyone disrupting the tattoo procedure to leave.

Complimentary touch-ups are offered within 90 days of the original tattoo appointment for minor areas of ink loss resulting from the normal healing process.

To qualify for a complimentary touch-up:

• The tattoo must be fully healed.

• The request must be submitted within 90 days of the original appointment.

• The touch-up must be limited to minor areas requiring correction from the original tattoo session.

• The tattoo must have been cared for according to the provided aftercare instructions.

• Clear photos of the healed tattoo must be provided for evaluation.

Complimentary touch-ups do not include design changes, additional shading or details, extensions to the original piece, or work needed due to improper aftercare, picking, scratching, excessive sun exposure, or other external factors.

Requests submitted after the 90-day period may be subject to a touch-up fee.

Requests submitted within the designated timeframe will remain eligible for a complimentary touch-up even if the available appointment date falls outside the 90-day period.

All touch-ups are subject to artist evaluation and appointment availability. Additional work beyond the original tattoo design will be quoted separately.

Clients are always welcome to end a tattoo session if they have reached their limit.

If a tattoo cannot be finished because the client chooses to end the session early, an additional appointment may be required to complete the remaining work.

Continuation sessions are subject to a fee starting at $100, depending on the amount of work remaining.

This fee applies to additional sessions resulting from a client choosing to end their appointment early. Sessions postponed by the artist for safety, skin condition, or other artist-related reasons will be evaluated separately.

Any complimentary touch-ups or artist refinements may be completed during the continuation session at the artist's discretion, without an additional charge for those specific corrections.

The remaining work and applicable fees will be communicated before scheduling the continuation appointment.
