 Body areas that are tattooed on a case by case basis: head, neck, face, hands, feet, groin area & butts. Projects that are case by case: cover-ups, significant or fresh scarring, & adding to existing tattoos done by another artists

TATTOO ETHICS
 As a professional artist, I will not directly copy or plagiarize another artist's work or tattoo an image of an existing tattoo design. You may submit these as references, but I will always be designing and drawing a unique piece of art for your body. Hate speech, religious symbols, or cultural appropriated imagery or symbols, will never be tattooed in this shop. 

CLIENT CARE
The client’s autonomy, comfort & consent is always prioritized. Procedures and protocols are built around a trauma-informed framework & training. The shop is a clean, open, & comfortable space for both client and artist. 

MUTUAL RESPECT
Our creative collaboration is built on a foundation of care & consent. I ask that you offer me the same affirming experience through honesty, communication & respect. My name is Jess, I am non-binary, & use they/them pronouns. 

SHOP INFO
Moonlit Fangs Tattoo is proudly queer-owned. It is also one the of very few eco-certified shops in British Columbia Canada (which confirms that a governing body certifies the sustainability, materials, & practices of a business). The shop is also private and by appointment only, in order for trauma-informed client-care to be prioritized.

BOOKING DEPOSIT
A $50 deposit is required to reserve time for your tattoo design & appointment time. Clients must send their deposits to moonlitfangstattoo@gmail.com within 48 hours of receiving their booking email.  On the day of your tattoo, your $50 booking deposit is deducted from your final total. Deposits secure bookings & prevent cancellations.

CANCELLATION & DEPOSIT POLICY
72 hours notice of a cancellation is required for a deposit to be carried over to a maximum of one rescheduled date. A deposit will be forfeited if a client cancels with less than 72 hours notice, shows up with signs of illness, is more than 15 mins late, or no-shows. Deposits hold your appointment and tattoo design for a maximum of 60 days. A new deposit will  be required if a client forfeits their deposit and wishes to re-book. 

PAYMENT METHOD
Full payment is due in the shop after the tattoo procedure is complete. All services incur 5% GST. Cash is preferred and appreciated :) CIBC, RBC, BMO & EKC are all less than 2 blocks north of the shop. E-transfers are NOT accepted for final payment, only booking deposits. Debit Card & Credit Card payments can be accepted but incur a 4% processing fee. 

TIPPING PERSONAL SERVICES
Tips are common and customary in North America's personal service industry (tattoo shops, restaurants, salons, spas, etc). Since a large portion of  a client’s payment goes towards supplies & operational costs, so a tip is a great way to reflect your appreciation of the experience, level of service, or artistry. Gratuity is typically 15% to 25%. I always greatly appreciate this gesture from my clients; it is a clear sign that  you love the artwork and enjoyed the service.

GUEST ALLOWANCE
One guest can attend a client’s appointment if it has been discussed with me prior to the session & I have given my consent. Other allowances include: multiple clients who are getting tattooed together, or a client with caregiver support

CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR
Some medications & medical conditions can create adverse reactions or affect the healing of your tattoo. Some examples include: antibiotics, acne medications, blood thinners, heart conditions, chronic skin conditions, pregnancy, diabetes and epilepsy. Most things can be navigated during the procedure, but we need you to be informed of your individual needs. A quick chat with your doctor will ensure there's no concerns
