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 either color boosts or an annual refreshers respectively.
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 12-24 months after their perfecting session or last annual refresh.
After the 24-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, laser removal or saline lightening 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 defined as a client who fails to arrive for their scheduled appointment without providing written notice via text or email at least 24 hours in advance.
Failure to show up without proper notice will result in a charge of 50% of the scheduled service, which will be applied to the card on file. If the card is invalid or the charge is declined, an invoice will be sent. Failure to pay the invoice within seven days of the sent date will result in legal action. Additionally, your client profile will be marked as a No-Show, and you will be permanently blocked from booking any future appointments with Inked by Denisse.
No-Shows
Out of respect for other clients and my time as an artist, all appointment adjustments/changes must be submitted in writing via email to booking@inkedbydenisse.com or by text to (424) 209-9222.
A minimum of 72 hours’ notice is required to reschedule without forfeiting your deposit. Clients are allowed up to two reschedule opportunities with proper 72 hours' notice; however, all booking deposits expire 60 days from the original appointment date, regardless of the number of reschedules.
Cancellations will result in the forfeiture of your non-refundable deposit, and a new deposit will be required to book another appointment. Tardiness beyond 15 minutes is considered a late cancellation and will result in an automatic forfeiture of your deposit, with no exceptions.
Inked by Denisse reserves the right to refuse service if there are repeated cancellations, tardiness, or excessive rescheduling.
Rescheduling & Cancellations
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 installment payment 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.

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.
