Please read all the information below as most questions will be answered underneath.

BOOKING A NEW APPOINTMENT:

All appointments can be made online via this website or the link in the studio/artist's instagram bio's;

Our studio minimum charge is $200 per person, per tattoo (subject to change depending on detail and placement) which covers our basic equipment fee, drawing time, admin and tattoo;

Our hourly rate varies depending on the artist, so it is advised to reach-out to the studio or artist via Instagram to obtain a quote and booking length prior to making an appointment;

Each appointment will require a $50-$200, non-refundable deposit;

RESCHEDULES:

A minimum of 48 hours notice is required to reschedule your appointment to the next available date. If you reschedule or cancel within 48 hours of your appointment, your deposit will be forfeited and another deposit will be required to rebook. Please note that you can only reschedule your appointment once on the same deposit. Any more than one reschedule will require a new booking and deposit.

BALANCE OF PAYMENT:

PLEASE NOTE* our studio is cash (preferred) or bank transfer for payment. As we don't have EFTPOS facilities and there are limited ATM’s within walking distance to our studio, please arrange for cash or bank transfer prior to coming to your appointment.

HOW LONG TO BOOK IN FOR:

Before making an appointment, please look at the examples below to gain an idea of how long your appointment will take. Please consider the size, detail and location of your design i.e. the ribs or stomach is a harder area to tattoo so will require more time;

If you would like a more accurate quote or are unsure of how long to book, please send a booking enquiry with a reference image and information on size and placement to studio or artists' Instagram, or via email to: info@luvbugtattoo.com

once a booking is made:

Once an appointment is made and a deposit is paid, you will receive a confirmation and payment receipt via text and email;

Please make sure you send all final references to the artist you have booked with at least 2 days prior to your appointment so they can be fully prepared for your tattoo. Artists will start the design process and create an original design based on your design brief and the references you have provided;

PLEASE NOTE: No drawings or designs will be shown to clients before the appointment unless agreed upon prior. The design/s will be shown on the day of the appointment where our artists are more than happy to make changes, face to face. This eliminates any back and forth for changes that can be make quickly and easily on the day.
