Following my last message. . . available dates up until christmas are as follows. November. 6,7,8,17,20,21,26,27 December. 2,3,14,16,17,18,19,21 Thats just 16 available days before Christmas. . . and some off those dates will be allocated as design days. Others prioritised for clients that Ive had to rearrange due to my time off work. - I do not make bookings online and not even to discuss available dates online as it is too confusing to manage, sometimes in the time it takes for you to see a private message or email the time has been snapped up and i am forever rearranging people exausting myself trying to keep all your faces smiling. :) :) :) So many faces! -Family, friends and regulars (Yes you too sissy. x) please dont pm or text or call me expecting to make appts. . . I do not have the diary on me 24/7 and do not memorize the contents of it. . . Just like everyone else you get better results if you come in and book. . . and yes you may have to wait! I know Ive been away from the studio lately but when i am not there the boys make bookings for me. . . we are a family! :) (So you all know, even my flatmate comes into the studio to book! Right Teagan? xx) -Deposits. This is becoming a must do! i will not start a design until a deposit is paid. -Be flexible. . . I do all my consults, designs, tattoos and email and fb management all on my lonesome. (most tattooists do) We do not have personal assistants to help us nor can we afford them. (well I know I cant) be patient. its hard to do a consult, make a booking and answer a phone call all with a tattoo machine in your hand even if I am a female. . .JK! (and why should i have to do this at dinner time?) -If you cant make your appt! let me know asap! If i havent spent time on a design and you give me notice I will happily refund a desposit or re book you... BUT... If you do not let me know, or I have spent hours on your design or I do not get 24hours notice I will keep your deposit as well...I missed a day of income because of your inconsideration. Do not make me uncomfortable by asking for it back. -Sometimes Im unwell! :( When this happens it sucks big time. . . not only because I have to rebook the poor client who was so excited about getting their tattoo that day but. . . sometimes I have to rebook 5 other clients just to fit you all in. please understand I do not take time off if i do not need to! Its just not worth it for me and I die inside when i feel ive let someone down! -It can be hard to tell how long a job will take! and if i run late for your appt because i havent finished another I promise to extend the same care and time into your tattoo. Please dont put pressure on me to achieve X detail or size in X amount of time. . . once again i am revisiting the be flexible. I am very understanding and often charge the price I quoted when its taken surplus time to get the tattoo to a standard I am proud of. This status has been prompted because I need to look after myself just as much as my clients. Self care. I think these guidelines are firm but fair. I am a sensitive soul and do my best to keep everyone else happy and hate to upset anyone but stretch myself too thin and ill be out for another 10 days. Im hoping this will give you all some insight. Wow so long. . . did you make it to the end!? Thank you all so much. (spesh to Nicole for the lovely package that arrived at the studio saturday! Yum hersheys kisses!)
