Evolution Ink LLC Studio Policies

     Evolution Ink LLC, is about evolving the way the community interacts with the tattooing industry by providing an insight to the artistic process of tattooing in a calm, relaxing, salon/spa like environment, during a potentially high stress, high intensity procedure. We take care in understanding that this may be a brand new experience for you at our studio (or in general), and we want to make sure your experience exceeds every expectation you have (and all the ones your friends told you about) when looking for your new exclusive studio. We avoid the typical tattoo “parlor” image, with their loud music, overstimulating decor, and unreliable artists, experiences that have plagued the tattoo industry for decades.     We pride ourselves on the high standards we set for our artists with professional, courteous, engaging, and qualified artists to create custom tattoo pieces, while also providing an experience of excellence. We also ask that our clients  offer the same respect to our artists.​

Please read the following Studio and Booking Policies:

**If you have any questions regarding these policies, please ask  for clarification prior to booking!**​

• NO CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18 YEARS OLD will be a allowed in the studio.

At the discretion of each artist, adolescents aged 16-17 years old, may be tattooed with a notarized letter giving parental consent, AND a parent or legal guardian present for the first 30 minutes of actual tattooing time, or for the entire duration of the appointment (preferred).

In order to comply with our high standards for hygiene, sterility, and comfort of our artists, we ask that you please arrive to your appointment showered/bathed.  Your body will be undergoing a potentially high stress procedure, while perspiration is normal, due to the relatively close proximity our artist are working next to your body, we ask that every attempt at personal cleanliness be attempted.

• Your artist reserves the right to cancel your appointment if the above policy is not met.

  If you feel your artist does not meet this policy, you have the right to request your appointment be rescheduled with your current artist, or another who is willing to rework your design.

It is HIGHLY recommended that you book a consultation with your artist prior to booking a full session tattoo.

• Your artist may have already instructed you on the number of hours you should be booking, in this case, move on to the booking section.

  • Our artists offer TEXT and In Person consultations;  

    • Text/Video consultations are free of charge.

      In Person Consultations start at $50/30 minutes.

You will be required to pay a deposit before the design process is initiated on your tattoo piece.  Artists are on tight schedules to create individual tattoos for all of their clients, any creative work towards your appointment will begin AFTER you have made the commitment for that time slot.

Your deposit it NON-REFUNDABLE.  Artist’s time is valuable and booking appointments and canceling, creates unprofitable gaps in an artists schedule that they are no longer able to fill.  Your deposit will be forfeited under the following conditions;

• If you are more than fifteen (15) minutes late for your appointment.

  If you contact your artist with less than 24 hours before your appointment, with a significant design change.

  If you contact your artist to reschedule with less than 48 hours before your appointment.

  If you arrive to your appointment intoxicated, or under the influence of drugs.

  If you arrive to your appointment with numbing cream applied to the tattoo area, unless specified usage is allowed by your artist.

If you need to reschedule your appointment, you must reach out to our studio OR your artist directly, to let them know of the circumstances.  It is the discretion of each artist whether or not they will allow the reschedule or if forfeiture of the deposit is warranted, due to late notice.

• As stated above, you cannot reschedule your appointment with less than 24 hours before your appointment without forfeiture of your deposit.

ARTIST RATES are hourly and vary depending on artist skill level, the type of tattooing work being done, length of tattoo time, etc..  Artist’s minimum charge is one (1) hour, and their time will be billed in one (1) hour minimums. Partial hours, unless specifically booked, will be rounded up to the next hour.

• At the completion of your consultation, your artist will instruct you on how many hours you need to book for the specifications they have determined.  You will need to book that exact number of hours, or your artist may not have time to complete your piece and may need to reschedule your appointment, resulting in a forfeiture of your deposit for that appointment.

  You will be responsible for the amount due for the full time you have booked. 

Bringing a Guest/Multiple Clients at one time (this may vary from artist to artist):

• You will be allowed to bring one (1) guest with you to your appointment.

  If you bring a guest with you that is unruly or disruptive, your guest may be asked to leave, or your artist may end the appointment at any time, for disruption to their working environment.

  Your guest is there for emotional support and suggestions ONLY IF ASKED. Full Stop. It is your body, and your tattoo. Your opinion is the say all, end all.

  Your guest must not interfere with the tattooing process, by means of being overly talkative so the artist cannot concentrate, touching or stepping in sterile areas.

The safety of our artists is a main priority and will be considered at ALL TIMES during your appointment. Any and all measures will be taken to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our employees.

We offer a welcoming and SAFE environment to every sex, race, religion, or nationality, to those members of the LGBTQIA+ Community, those of differing political opinion, or choice of employment.

Payment in full is expected at the completion of each session with your artist;

• The shop minimum per hour, is the hourly minimum of each artist, even if the tattoo does not take the entire hour.

  Each tattoo appointment is for one (1) custom tattoo design and application. 

  Your artist will design one (1) design per appointment.

  If you are having multiple tattoos in a single appointment, each tattoo will be considered an individual appointment and require the hourly minimum to begin at that the start of EACH additional tattoo.

  • For Example; Three (3) tattoos in one appointment, equals a three (3) hour minimum, regardless of whether or not the full three hours is used.
