Please keep this in mind, we want to tattoo you & we are always looking forward to it. We want to deliver the best experience for all our clients and artists throughout the process.
But if you are not serious about getting tattooed, please just wait until you are sure. We all work very hard, and manage our time accordingly so please respect the following policies of our studio tattoo shop in Nepal at all times:
1. 18 and Over Policy: You must be at least 18 years old for you to get a tattoo.
2. Minimum Charge Policy:
The minimum charge is the absolute lowest amount that we charge to cover the time and expense of a sanitary setup, cleaning-up of the working station, equipment as well as single-use supplies necessary to provide a clean and safe tattoo by our professionals. This is applied per person getting tattooed, per session. Even if you get a small tattoo of one simple dot, the cost will be the minimum. If you and a friend are getting matching simple dot tattoos, the cost for each of you will be the minimum. If you want multiple small tattoos on your body at the same tattoo session, you will be charged a flat rate or hourly (so if you wish to multiple tiny tattoos, it is more cost-effective for you to get more than one at a time). Please note that any tattoo that takes more than 30 minutes will not be valid for the minimum charge policy and is calculated accordingly.
3. Advance/ Pre-appointment Deposit Policy:
ANY DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. Deposits will be deducted from the final cost of your tattoo at your final session unless your deposit is forfeited.
