Deposits & Reschedules
This is the official deposit and reschedule policy for Phil Jacob and Hadley Hansen only. Please know our other independent artists and guests at The Point Tattoo my have their own slightly differing policies. Please confirm expectations with your specific artist.
What is a deposit?
A deposit is a partial payment towards your tattoo which confirms your commitment and reserves your specific time in the artist’s calendar. Our deposit it is not an additional fee, it is a prepayment towards the final cost of your tattoo.
A typical deposit is $100 for a 1 to 4 hour appointment and $200 for an 8 hour appointment. Some deposits may be slightly more or less for flash specials or other special projects. If you’re going to be tattooed over multiple sessions, you will need a deposit for each session.
Deposits are always required to confirm an appointment and are non-refundable & non-transferable. If you cancel your appointment your deposit will be forfeit. We can reschedule you if needed but it may require another deposit.
Hadley and Phil send deposit invoices through email invoice using Vagaro (the same scheduling app we use for booking). You can also pay using cash in person.
Please be deposit ready when you request your appointment time. If you don't pay your deposit invoice within 1 week we will offer your appointment time to other clients.
What if I need to reschedule?
We understand that sometimes everyone is met with unexpected accidents or financial difficulties, and that’s okay! After an appointment is made, if you need to change the date we will make every effort to accommodate you as long as you inform us.
To reschedule please text (813) 603-7418 and you should receive a reply same day. The more notice you can give the better!
That being said, our artists rely on clients like you to earn their living; the deposit policy helps to protect the artists' time and reschedules can require a new deposit.
When is a new deposit needed?
You'll be asked to leave a new deposit in the following situations:
• If you reschedule with less than 3 days notice
• If you are over 30 minutes late to your appointment without notice
• If you reschedule more than once
• If you change your tattoo idea last minute
• If you need extensive redesigns to the point your appointment needs to be rescheduled
If you don't show up to your appointment and don't give notice (no call, no show) then any future appointment will need to be paid in full before booking. Some artists may refuse to book clients that have no call, no showed in the past.
On rare occasions an artist may need to reschedule you due to their own personal reasons. In situations like that it will never incur any type of penalty towards you. We’ll do our best to reschedule you for the best date that works for you and make up for the inconvenience. If a reschedule is not possible in this case we will return your deposit.
Other things you may need to know:
Deposits are not payments to own artwork, designs, or concepts; they only reserve your time. If you book an appointment with an artist and end up not getting the tattoo that artist may offer the design to other clients. Drawing takes a big time commitment and this is one way tattoo artists make up the financial loss from abandoned designs.
Deposits and quotes are not indefinite. Phil and Hadley will honor deposits for up to 1 year from when it was made. We might not be able to verify a deposit you left 2+ years ago and it's very likely our prices may have changed in that time.
