Wangchen Tattoo
Last Updated: September 27, 2026

Acceptance of Terms

By booking an appointment, submitting a consultation request, paying a deposit, or receiving tattoo services from Wangchen Tattoo, you agree to these Terms & Conditions.

About Wangchen Tattoo

Wangchen Tattoo is a private, appointment-based tattoo studio run by one tattoo artist, Wangchen. Every consultation, design, and tattoo is personally reviewed and performed by Wangchen.

Age Requirement

Clients must be at least 18 years old to receive a tattoo. A valid government-issued photo ID must be shown at every appointment. No exceptions will be made, including with parental consent.

Consultation & Booking Policy

Submitting a consultation request does not guarantee an appointment. Each tattoo project is reviewed individually based on:

• design requirements
• style suitability
• availability and scheduling capacity

Wangchen Tattoo may decline projects that are not a good fit. An appointment is confirmed only once the deposit has been received.

Deposit Policy

A $100 deposit is required to secure an appointment. The deposit:

• reserves your appointment time
• covers consultation and design preparation
• is applied toward the final cost of your tattoo

The deposit is not an extra fee.

Deposit Forfeiture

Your deposit may be forfeited if you:

• cancel with less than 48 hours’ notice
• do not attend your appointment
• reschedule repeatedly
• arrive significantly late without notice
• substantially change the tattoo concept after design work has begun

If Wangchen needs to cancel your appointment, your deposit will be carried over to a new date. If no suitable date can be arranged, it will be refunded.

Rescheduling Policy

Appointments may be rescheduled with at least 48 hours’ notice, subject to availability. Rescheduling more than once may require a new deposit.

Late Arrival Policy

If you expect to be late, please contact Wangchen Tattoo as soon as possible. Arriving more than 30 minutes late may result in reduced tattoo time, cancellation of the appointment, or loss of your deposit, depending on scheduling availability.

Design Policy

All tattoos are custom projects. Reference images are welcome and encouraged. However, Wangchen Tattoo does not copy another artist’s tattoo exactly. Each design is created specifically for the client.

Custom artwork, including sketches and stencils, remains the intellectual property of Wangchen until the tattoo has been completed and paid for in full. Designs may not be shared with or taken to another artist.

Pricing

• Minimum tattoo price: $100
• Hourly rate: $150 per hour

Prices may vary depending on size, placement, complexity, design requirements, and session length. Final quotes are provided after consultation.

Payment

The remaining balance, minus your deposit, is due at the end of each session. Accepted payment methods will be confirmed at the time of booking.

Refunds

Because every tattoo is custom and permanent, payments for completed tattoo work are non-refundable. If you have concerns about your tattoo, please contact Wangchen Tattoo so we can discuss them.

Health & Safety

For client safety, Wangchen Tattoo may refuse or postpone a tattoo if:

• the client appears intoxicated or under the influence of drugs
• the client has a medical condition that may affect tattoo safety
• the area to be tattooed presents a health concern

Clients must disclose relevant health information honestly on the consent form before tattooing.

Right to Refuse Service

Wangchen Tattoo may refuse or stop service if a request is unsafe, offensive, or hateful, if a client behaves disrespectfully, or if these Terms are not followed.

Aftercare

Aftercare instructions will be provided after each session. Not following these instructions may affect how your tattoo heals.

Wangchen Tattoo is not responsible for issues caused by improper aftercare, excessive sun exposure, picking, scratching, or other actions after the appointment.

Touch-Ups

Touch-up requests are reviewed case by case. Eligibility may depend on:

• tattoo location
• healing quality
• time since the tattoo was completed
• whether aftercare instructions were followed

Photography & Marketing

Completed tattoos may be photographed for portfolio use, website galleries, social media content, and marketing materials. Your identity will not be disclosed without your permission. You may ask that your tattoo not be published, or that an existing photo be removed, at any time.

Limitation of Liability

Tattooing carries inherent risks, including allergic reactions, skin sensitivity, differences in healing, ink fading, and changes due to age, sun exposure, or lifestyle. By proceeding with tattoo services, you acknowledge and accept these risks.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Wangchen Tattoo is not liable for outcomes caused by undisclosed health conditions, improper aftercare, or other factors outside the studio’s control.

Website Content

All website content, photographs, logos, artwork, and designs are the property of Wangchen Tattoo unless otherwise stated. Unauthorized copying, reproduction, or use is prohibited.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York. Any dispute will first be discussed directly with Wangchen Tattoo in good faith. If it cannot be resolved that way, it will be handled by the courts of Queens County, New York.

Severability

If any part of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining sections will continue to apply.

Changes to Terms

Wangchen Tattoo may update these Terms & Conditions at any time. The version published on the website at the time of booking applies, unless otherwise stated.
