Your health and safety is our #1 priority. Please let us know immediately if you experience any cold or flu symptoms. We're happy to reschedule your appointment to ensure a safe and healthy environment for everyone.

We understand that life happens! If you need to cancel or change your appointment, please do so at least 48 hours in advance. This way, we can fully refund your $100 deposit and offer the spot to another client. Your time is valuable, and we appreciate the same consideration in return.

No worries! We often have flexibility that the booking system doesn't show. Call or DM us, and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

We're here to help! Send us a clear photo of your current brow tattoo via DM, and we'll assess if we can achieve the desired correction or cover-up. We aim to give you the best results possible.
