DEPOSITS
You will be required to pay a deposit to reserve your tattoo booking with us. Deposits can be paid instore via card or cash. We also take over the phone payments for deposits with a debit or credit card, unfortunately we do not bank transfer. The deposit amount will vary from $50 to $350, this will all depend on the amount of time allocated for your tattoo. These deposits are NON REFUNDABLE. Please note our non-refundable deposits are with the studio as a whole, not with the artist you choose to make a booking with specifically.
Your deposit will be deducted off the total cost of your tattoo on the day of your appointment. If your tattoo requires multiple sittings (such as full sleeves, chest and back pieces), you will be required to keep your deposit on file and roll it over until all of your sessions until the final sitting where it will be deducted off your last tattoo appointment. If you are booking back to back sessions (one day after the other) then you will be required to pay a larger deposit to cover the time you are booking out – Example 2x full days will require a $600 deposit.
Deposits that are booked with the studio directly are with the studio as a whole and not with the artist. This means that should your artist leave the studio or be unable to do the tattoo for you we are still UNABLE to refund your deposit. This is due to the fact we have multiple other artists in the studio able to still complete the tattoo for you. Should you not wish to use your deposit due to the artist leaving or another circumstance, we are able to offer a transfer to another person or we can turn the deposit into a gift voucher.
We understand that due to unforeseen circumstances you may need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. It is best if you wish to cancel or move an appointment that you do this via phone on 0404 369 251, alternately you can email or text message. At Phresh Ink we have a 72-hour cancellation policy (3 days before your tattoo appointment) where you are able to reschedule to another day. however if you are inside that 72-hour window your deposit will be forfeited to the artist. If you wish to make another appointment you will need to put another deposit down to secure the spot. All deposits at Phresh Ink are non refundable even outside of our 72 hour cancellation policy.
PHRESH ETIQUETTE
AT PHRESH INK TO ENSURE YOUR TATTOO RUNS AS SMOOTHLY AS POSSIBLE FOR YOURSELF AND THE ARTIST PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING
Please be prepared and arrive on time. This is very important as running late will cut into your tattooing time!
To ensure you sit comfortably through your tattoo and to avoid any fatigue or unexpected sickness, dizziness or fainting please make sure you eat a hearty filling meal before you arrive at the studio. A coffee is not enough and especially DO NOT come on an empty stomach. Please also remember that you may be sitting in the tattoo chair for long periods of time so be prepared and grab something to drink and a few snacks as well any sort of entertainment (headphones or a book) to keep you going throughout the day.
Please think about the area you are getting tattooed and make sure you wear appropriate clothing to ensure the artist will have easy access to the area being tattooed.
Girls if you are getting an area such as upper thigh, chest area or ribs you can bring swimwear or a towel as sometimes we don’t always have privacy in the studio if this something that would make you feel more comfortable.
Please make sure you listen to your artist aftercare instructions and follow them correctly, should you need any further assistance the counter staff will be able to assist you.
Remember to always TRUST your artist, they are giving you their time, energy and recommendations from design placement to fully completing the tattoo for you so please be respectful and work with your artist to ensure you have the best tattoo.
Please respect the artists time and effort they put into your tattoo to create something custom for you so PLEASE DO NOT show up for your appointment unwell, under the influence, sunburnt or with any medical or physical concerns that may prevent your artist from tattooing you on the day. Our artists do reserve the right to reschedule your appointment if for any reason they feel you are not fit to be tattooed. Your deposit WILL NOT be refunded and you will be required to pay another deposit should you wish to make a new date with the artist.
ARTWORK
Phresh Ink is a custom studio, which means our artists pride themselves on creating unique, custom designs for our clients with a great deal of thought and preparation put into each piece.
In order to maintain the integrity of our artists and protect them from copyright, it is our shop policy that WE WILL NOT release any artwork prior to your appointment. In some circumstances there may be a chance depending on your artist that you may be able to see your design 1-2 DAYS BEFORE your tattoo appointment. This is completely within the artist discretion and the artist will usually tell you this during the consultation if you are able to see the design in advance. As mentioned above we are custom studio and we work very openly on an artist to client trust basis. You would have seen your artist’s work and had a consult prior to booking an appointment which we would hope that this is where the trust will form from client to artist. You can communicate with your artist via email for any changes to your design or in a rare circumstance if you feel the artist is not the right fit for you, please call the studio and we can revaluate this for you with a new artist selection. Please keep in mind some of these artists are booked up to 12 weeks in advance and have many designs/clients to prepare for, please be patient and know that your design will be ready on the day. Minor changes to the design can be made on the day to your design should you want to make any tweaking.
Changing your mind is completely normal, as some clients book their appointment quite far in advance and along the way change the concept of their tattoo. At Phresh Ink we have a strict 2-week design change policy, this can be anything from placement of the tattoo, style or concepts within the design that you wish you change. You must notify either the artist directly or contact front reception with the changes before the 2 weeks prior to your appointment to allow sufficient time for your artist to research any new elements and draw up the artwork in time for your appointment. It is your responsibility to check/sign off on any artwork given to you by your artist to ensure all correct spelling, text and images are correct.
Thank you for taking the time to read these terms and conditions and always remember our counter staff and artists are here to help you and ensure you walk out of the studio with a mind blowing tattoo and have an overall amazing experience at Phresh Ink.

Book a Complimentary Consultation
Phresh Ink offers complimentary consults 7 days a week with all of our artist’s in house at Phresh Ink. These consults happen in the morning in-between 9.30am and 10am before our artists begin with their tattoo clients. These consults allow you to have uninterrupted time with your artist to go over your ideas, show them images, hear your artist’s opinion and get a rough quote. This usually lasts around 15 – 20 minutes all depending if the design is straight forward or if you are looking for something more custom. The consults have no obligation but do require an appointment to secure, as there are limited slots for the morning with each artist.
