Tattoo Appointment Deposit Policy

"You have 48 hours before the time that your appointment is scheduled for,  to either call to reschedule, or to show up for your appointment, or you forfeit your deposit. You may reschedule only twice for a total of three appointments, after which forfeiture will occur. Your appointment will not be honored if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or have an unbecoming attitude. Deposits are non-refundable, and we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. When you place a deposit, you hereby agree to all the rules, standards and regulations of Altered Skin Studios."

Deposit Details

Deposits are required for all scheduled appointments. Deposits range between $75-$300 depending on the artist, the tattoo’s size, and its complexity. This deposit is non-refundable, non-transferable, and will be deducted from the total cost of your tattoo. We take cash, cards, tap, Apple Pay, and Venmo!

Important Terms

Non-Refundable and Non-Transferable:

All deposits are non-refundable and cannot be transferred between artists. The deposit is not a purchase of the artwork, and does not authorize you to use our designs for any commercial purposes; such as logos or merchandise.

Forfeiture Conditions: Your deposit will be forfeited if...

  • You decide not to get the tattoo after the design has been created.

  • You modify the design, or request changes, that require additional time, leading needing to be rescheduled.

  • You miss your appointment without notifying us (no-call, no-show), or if you cancel it without rescheduling the day you canceled.

  • You arrive more than 15 minutes late without prior notice.

  • You show up under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or have an unbecoming attitude.

Rescheduling: If you need to reschedule, please provide at least 48 hours notice. You may reschedule only twice for a total of three appointments. With proper notice, your deposit will be applied to your final tattoo session.

Expiration: If a year passes without a scheduled appointment, your deposit will be forfeited.​​

ID and Release Form Policy

In order to do any procedure, we are required by law to have every client fill out release forms stating they are aware of what is being done to their bodies. In order to fill this form out accurately, please bring the following to your appointment. 

  • Form of identification that has your legal name, photo, and birth date ( i.e state, driver's, or tribal ID)

  • For anyone under the age of 18, we accept birth certificates, social security cards, passports, health insurance cards, or school ID as well.
  • Legal guardians must be present to fill out the form, as well as during the whole procedure.

​​

Underage Clients

In the state of Montana we are able to tattoo and pierce underage people with parent/legal guardian's permission. 

  • We tattoo 16+. Please refer the information above for what to bring to your appointment.

  • The youngest we pierce is 4 years old for basic ear lobes. We do ask that you have a thorough conversation with your child about the procedure to ensure that they are ready.

  • ​If you are bringing in any underage children, please keep a constant eye on them as we have very sharp and expensive items in the studio.
