Studio Policies
Touch-Ups are not included in the initial cost and will be a separate fee that ranges depending on how long after the initial appointment they are booked.
A perfecting session must be booked no sooner than 6 weeks after your initial appointment. Your skin must be allowed the appropriate time to heal before any additional work can be done and I withhold the right to not work on clients who have yet to properly heal. Premature booking may result in the cancellation of your appointment and the forfeit of your deposit.
Perfecting sessions must be scheduled between 6-12 weeks after your initial appointment. After the 12-week mark, they will no longer be priced at the perfecting session price and will be priced as an annual refresh.
Annual Refresh sessions should be booked once the combined effects of your initial & perfecting session are 60-70% faded. This is to avoid over saturation, unnecessary skin trauma, and it allows us to maintain the most natural & hyper-realistic effect. While the timing of booking an annual refresh varies, most clients book within 12-18 months after their perfecting session or last annual refresh.
After the 18-month mark, they will no longer be priced at the refresh session price and will be priced as an initial session.
Touch-ups
If you have previously had cosmetic or restorative tattooing done by another artist it will automatically result in an up charge for corrective work. Clear photos must be emailed to approvals@inkedbydenisse.com and you must receive written booking pre-approval before booking an appointment.
A virtual or in-person consultation may be required to ensure I have a workable canvas. In some cases where the previous work is too dark/dense, discolored, or large, saline removal will be required before I begin the cover-up. Failure to provide photos of pre-existing work in order to receive booking pre-approval will result in the cancellation of your appointment and the forfeit of your deposit.
cover-ups/corrections
A "No-Show" is a client who does not show up for their scheduled appointment and does not send a written request for rescheduling or notice of cancellation via text or email within 48 hours of their appointment time. Failure to show up for a scheduled appointment without notice will be recorded as a "No-Show" in your client profile, and you will be blocked from booking with Inked by Denisse in the future.
In order to be respectful of the needs of other clients and my time as an artist I ask that if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment you give a minimum of 48 hours notice. All notices must be emailed to booking@inkedbydenisse.com or texted to (424) 209-9222. Clients who cancel a scheduled appointment will forfeit their non-refundable deposit and must pay a new deposit in order to book a new appointment.
If you need to reschedule, a minimum of 48 hours notice is required to avoid forfeiting your deposit. If you are sick within the 48-hour period, please reschedule and provide a doctor’s note so that I can transfer your deposit. Clients are allowed up to two opportunities to reschedule with proper notice. Inked by Denisse reserves the right to refuse service if there are further cancellations or rescheduling.
Cancellations, No-Shows and tardiness in excess of 15 minutes will automatically result in a forfeit of your deposit, no exceptions.
No-Shows, cancellations & rescheduling
Clients must take full responsibility for researching their desired service, including its contraindications and pre- and post-care requirements. They should ensure they are booking the appropriate service for their desired results and lifestyle.
To secure your appointment at Inked by Denisse, a non-refundable booking deposit is required. The booking deposit not only indicates your commitment to your scheduled appointment but also guarantees your reserved time slot. The following guidelines apply depending on your chosen payment method:
* Payment Plan Option: If you opt to use one of the payment plan options, your first payment installment will be considered and treated as your booking deposit.
* Other Payment Methods: For clients not utilizing a payment plan, a booking deposit of 30% of the service's value will be collected at the time of booking. This deposit will be deducted from the total service cost, with the remaining balance due on the day of the appointment.
All payments, including booking deposits and payment plan installments, are non-transferable and non-refundable. Once a payment is made, it cannot be refunded under any circumstances.

Accepted Payment Methods & Payment Plans
All clients must be respectful to any and all persons within the Inked by Denisse studio, common outdoor area and shared parking lot.
The following behaviors are strictly prohibited: physical violence, verbal abuse, harassment of any kind, intimidation tactics, making threats, malicious or harmful statements towards others, public disclosure of private information, possession of dangerous or unauthorized materials, solicitation, or distribution of illegal substances.
Code of Conduct
While I strive to provide optimal results for every client, it's important to note that final results may vary. Different skin types react differently to procedures, and individual lifestyle factors can also affect the outcome. Results are heavily influenced by how each individual heals and their adherence to the recommended aftercare.
A minimum of TWO sessions (initial & perfecting session) are required to achieve the best results. However, the number of sessions required may vary depending on your desired look.
Please note that all services provided are non-refundable. Before booking a service, please thoroughly read the technique and ideal candidate descriptions to ensure it's the right choice for you.
