GOOD TO KNOW
WHAT TO WEAR
Casual, comfortable clothing that is in no way pajamas.
Consider what you're wearing based on the location of your tattoo. You'll want clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed without making you uncomfortable.
HYGIENE & PREPARATION
A tattoo breaks the skin. Arriving clean, well-fed, hydrated, and rested will help make your experience as comfortable as possible.
Please avoid alcohol before your appointment, and take a few minutes to review any preparation instructions you've received.
WHAT TO BRING
Bring a valid, government-issued photo ID (driver's license, state ID, or passport) and a way to pay your remaining balance.
Most importantly, bring yourself and a good attitude!
Be ready to chat, sleep, chill, or sit quietly. Whatever you want your experience to be. TV, tunes, and WiFi are available during your visit.
FREE CONSULTATIONS
Consultations are free and typically take 15 minutes.
You can book directly through my online scheduling calendar by choosing a day and time that works for you. You'll receive an email confirming your consultation.
We'll talk about your ideas, placement, size, design, and estimated cost. Bring any reference images you'd like to share, or upload them when booking.
Don't have everything figured out? No problem. That's what I'm here for.
TATTOO APPOINTMENTS & DEPOSITS
After your consultation, we'll agree on an appointment date and the amount of time needed for your tattoo.
A $100 non-refundable deposit is required before your tattoo appointment is confirmed. You'll receive instructions for making your secure payment through my scheduling system.
Once your deposit is received, I'll finalize your appointment and you'll receive an email confirmation with the details.
Your deposit goes toward the final cost of your tattoo. The remaining balance will be determined when your tattoo is completed, based on the work performed.
Special events and flash tattoos may have different deposit amounts, which will be clearly displayed when booking.
CANCELLATIONS & RESCHEDULING
All tattoo deposits are non-refundable.
I understand that plans change. If you need to reschedule, please contact me at least 48 hours before your appointment.
You may reschedule once and transfer your original deposit to the new appointment date.
If you need to reschedule a second time, your original deposit will be forfeited and a new deposit will be required to book another appointment.
For changes or cancellations, please contact me directly at chad@solitairetattoo.com.
DESIGN CHANGES
I want you to love your tattoo, and we'll work together to get the design right.
Once we've agreed on a design, please request any changes at least 48 hours before your appointment so I have time to prepare your artwork.
Significant changes or redesigns may result in an additional fee, depending on the work involved.
PAYMENTS
I accept cash, debit cards, credit cards, and supported digital payment methods.
Your deposit will be credited toward the final tattoo price. Any remaining balance is due at the end of your appointment.
Tips are always appreciated, but never expected.
