Terms of Use & Studio Policies
Website terms, plus the studio policies worth knowing before you book.
Website terms
This website is operated by Inkslingers Inc.. Content here is provided for general information about our services. Prices, healing timeframes, availability and policies described on this site are indicative and may change; the figures quoted to you directly by the studio are the ones that apply.
All artwork, photography, text and design on this site are the property of Inkslingers Inc.or the individual artists, and may not be reproduced without permission. Tattoo designs created for a client remain the artist's creative work.
Not medical advice
Aftercare guidance on this site — including the aftercare page — is general information based on professional experience. It is not medical advice and does not replace consultation with a healthcare professional. If you have a medical condition, take blood thinners or immunosuppressants, are pregnant, or are concerned about how something is healing, speak to a doctor.
Age requirements
Michigan law requires anyone under 18 to have a parent or legal guardian physically present and consenting for body art services. The guardian must present government-issued photo ID and documentation establishing the relationship. Valid government-issued photo ID is required from every client for every service, without exception.
Deposits and cancellations
- A deposit is required to hold a booked appointment and is applied to the final cost.
- Deposits are non-refundable but transferable to a rescheduled appointment with reasonable advance notice.
- A no-show, or rescheduling without adequate notice, forfeits the deposit — it compensates the artist for time that could not be rebooked.
- Consultations and walk-in services do not require a deposit.
Right to refuse service
We reserve the right to decline any tattoo or piercing. Common reasons include: the client appears intoxicated or impaired; the anatomy will not support the requested placement safely; the design or size will not heal into an acceptable result; requested content we are unwilling to apply; or a client being abusive to staff. A refusal is a professional judgment, not a personal one.
Touch-ups
The first touch-up on our own tattoo work is free within twelve months of the original appointment, provided the aftercare instructions were followed. Hands, fingers, feet, and other high-wear or high-friction placements are excluded, as those require periodic maintenance regardless of how well they were executed. Touch-ups on work done elsewhere are quoted as regular sessions.
Results
Tattoos and piercings are permanent modifications to living tissue. Healing outcomes vary between individuals based on skin type, placement, health, medication and aftercare compliance. We cannot guarantee a specific healed appearance, and some piercings may migrate or reject despite correct placement and technique.
