Terms and Conditions

1. Scheduling an appointment and paying the deposit is considered acceptance of our terms and conditions.

2. Although the legal minimum age for getting a tattoo is 12 years, we require a minimum age of 16 years. For individuals under 18, we require both written and verbal approval from parents/guardians.

3. To schedule and confirm an appointment, a deposit is necessary. The deposit for a full session is € 200,-, for a half session € 100,-, and for all other projects € 50,-. This amount will be reduced from the total price. 

4. The deposit must be paid within 72 hours of scheduling the appointment. When booking multiple appointments together, all sessions must be paid upfront.

5. If the deposit is not paid within this period, the slot will be given to someone else. No deposit means no appointment!

6. Deposits will never be refunded! This deposit will be used to cover the costs for the artist, including the flight ticket and accommodation costs.

7. Rescheduling the appointment while keeping the deposit is possible up to seven days before the appointment.

8. If you cancel within seven days of your appointment and a replacement customer cannot be found, you lose the deposit. The reason for cancellation does not matter.

9. If the appointment is completely cancelled by us, we will refund 100% of the deposit.

10. If the appointment is rescheduled by us, the deposit will be transferred to the new
appointment.

11. If the artist does not show up on the day of the appointment, the deposit will be refunded and the client will receive € 100,- compensation if they wish to schedule a new appointment with the same artist.

12. If the appointment is prematurely ended by the client, the extra time needed to complete the project will be charged. The amount depends on the remaining work. The reason for leaving the appointment early does not matter.

13. Before discussing the design, the client must fill out and sign a consent form.

14. Before starting the tattoo, the price must be agreed upon by both parties.

15. Our artists create the design the day before or on the day of the appointment. The design is always shown and discussed on the day of the appointment.

16. If the client wants a completely different design, they must inform the studio at least seven days before the appointment. If this is not done and the artist states they cannot carry out the project, we are authorized to cancel/reschedule the appointment with loss of the deposit.

17. Design changes can be made on the morning of the appointment.

18. The client understands that a tattoo is art, craftsmanship, and handwork. The result may vary depending on various factors, including the client’s skin type, condition, moles, tint, age, exposure to the sun, and sports activities.

19. The client acknowledges that the outcome depends on the artistic vision of the artist. Different artists may interpret the same design differently, resulting in a varied outcome.

20. The client understands that a reference photo is used for reference only, and an exact copy will not be made.

21. The client is aware that the duration of the session does not affect the previously agreed price of the session.

22. When the client gets a large piece done, they are aware that there might be a need to return after full healing to integrate the tattoo into one cohesive piece. The time (and associated costs) required for this will be charged to the client.

23. If the client has difficult skin or shows poor recovery, the client understands that the extra time (and associated costs) needed to complete or correct the tattoo will be charged to the client.

24. The client accepts responsibility for the healing process. Infections occurring after the tattoo has been inked are the result of poor adherence to optimal healing procedures. The time (and associated costs) required to heal the tattoo will be charged to the client.

25.Should the client wish to make changes to the tattoo after full recovery (such as alterations, additions, or more contrast), the time (and associated costs) will be charged to the client.

26. Free corrections are made up to two months from the date of tattooing; after this date, touchup costs, depending on the project, will be at least € 50,-.

27. All corrections due to damage to the tattoo caused by the client’s actions or negligence are at the client’s expense. If we conclude that a tattoo has not received the care advised by us, unfortunately, we must charge for correcting it. The cost depends on the project and the amount of correction needed.

28. Free corrections do not apply to tattoos on toes, ankles, feet, hands, fingers, elbows, knees, and necks. For these areas, we charge a minimum of € 50,-.

29. Free corrections do not apply to cover-ups. After a cover-up tattoo is placed, the tattoo must fully heal and recover. After complete recovery, if the old tattoo is still visible, the tattoo needs to be redone for full coverage of the old tattoo. The costs will depend on the project. This price will always be discussed upfront with the client.

30. Free corrections do not apply to all minimalist and fine line projects. For these, we charge half of our starting rate; € 50,-.

31. Do not consume alcohol, drugs, and medication that inhibit blood clotting and/or thin the blood the day before and of the appointment. We advise a healthy preparation. Thus, get enough sleep, eat a good breakfast with fruit, sufficient carbohydrates, nutrients, and drink plenty of water.

32. If a client arrives at the appointment under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or is sick, we refuse to tattoo and will cancel the appointment with loss of the deposit.

33. Do not use numbing creams and/or ointments. Such products contain lidocaine. This changes the hardness of the top layer of skin, making tattooing more difficult. It can also have negative effects on the healing process and thus the healed result. In this case, we are not responsible for the healed result, and the cost of corrections will be the client’s responsibility, starting at €100,-.

34. If it is found that such creams have been used, we reserve the right to cancel the appointment with loss of the deposit.

35. Ensure you come to the appointment without health complaints and/or symptoms of illness. If you come to the appointment with health complaints and/or symptoms of illness, we are authorized to cancel the appointment without retaining the deposit.

36. Ensure you come to the appointment clean and well-groomed. If this is not the case, we may require the client to go home to rectify this first. The time needed to complete the project will be charged extra.

37. Do not wear clothing that cannot get dirty. We work with inks and therefore do not hold ourselves responsible for any staining of clothing. Therefore, prefer wearing ‘older’ dark clothing. Wearing the chosen clothing on the day of the session is entirely at your own risk. 

38. We do not tattoo skin that is sunburned, injured, or otherwise unsuitable for the appointment. If we determine that your skin is in the aforementioned condition, we will strongly advise you to get the tattoo done elsewhere where the skin is in better condition. If you do not agree with this, the appointment will be cancelled with loss of the deposit.

39. If you have a large number of moles where you want to get a tattoo, let us know immediately when you contact us. We do not tattoo over moles, so such information is relevant for your health and the design possibilities.

40. Bringing support is possible, but always discuss this with the studio(manager). Keep in mind that support cannot be present in the work areas during tattooing. They may wait in our waiting area.

41. (Pet) animals are not allowed to enter the studio.

42. Anything that raises concerns and doubts about your health (both diseases and medications) in combination with getting a tattoo, you must consult with a specialist. We are not general practitioners and/or doctors, do not have medical knowledge or background, and therefore cannot make statements about this.

43. By scheduling an appointment and paying the deposit, the client hereby declares that they understand Falcon Ink will not be held liable in any way for any consequences or situations following the completion of the tattoo.

Falcon Ink reserves the right to reasonably adjust the terms and conditions as necessary.
