- Body modification is not an exact science and each individual has varying tolerances to pain
and the overall process, those with higher thresholds to pain enable us to complete our
work in a shorter time, while those who have a lower threshold will take longer. We try very
hard to accommodate each person's individual needs and give all equal amounts of respect
and attention so please understand that the waiting time can be prolonged and it is
impossible for us to honor exact appointment times. If you do have an appointment we will
guarantee that you will be next as soon as the current client is done. Please expect to wait
patiently for service. We are also committed to keeping our prices reasonable while
maintaining the highest standards to keep these prices stable please spread the word and
recommend us to all that you know. We are also committed to providing excellent customer
service so we appreciate all suggestions/complaints: CustomerService@DivineInkTattoos

you must call for mailing details: 718-677-0950. When your payment is received that is when
we will prepare your piece. We never send out copies of our drawings, when you come in for
your appointment you must arrive an hour prior so that if any "minor" changes need to be
made we will be able to accommodate you if changes are "major" you must reschedule your
appointment at your own traveling expenses. Be precise about what you want, there are no
refunds!
- All deposits are non-refundable/non-transferable only good for 30 days! We must get paid
for the time invested in drawing and preparation of your tattoo so please be absolutely
certain about what you are getting because there are absolutely no exceptions!
- Being such, our pricing reflect the artist's skill level, quality of work, years of experience and
approximate time duration, we do try to give an accurate judgement of time. If we do grossly
go under time (30 minutes or more) the price difference will be refunded or you have the
option to receive a Divine Ink Tattoos Gift Certificate reflecting the balance of time owed to you
to be used towards a future tattoo ($50.00 or greater value) with the same artist that did the
original work. Absolutely no exceptions!
- Being fair to our artists/clients, please understand that if you do have difficulty completing the
tattoo we will allow a 30 minute free overtime grace period but any time above that will be
charged at regular rate, if you do not have sufficient funds with you, you will have to return at a
future date to complete the tattoo and pay the balance however the outline must be
completed or any future re-alignment is at your own risk, alignment can be thrown off by
minimal weight gain/loss. If the artist has a scheduled appointment we cannot expect
his/her appointment to be kept waiting beyond 30 minutes so at that point you will have to
come back at a future date to complete the tattoo and pay the balance.
- Regarding genital piercing, only serious "adults" need apply, once you are exposed the
procedure has been paid for whether you complete it or not, we do not tolerate any type of
sexual harassment especially intentional indecent exposure. We NEVER do genital piercing
on minors. Consider this a handling fee!
- There is a 10 minute time limit for all piercing procedures, so be absolutely sure you are
ready when you arrive, sorry but it is inconsiderate to have others wait, they may be nervous
too. If you will need more time to prepare mentally, you will have to come back when it is less
busy (call first) or all applicable fees will be charged if you go over the time limit.
- If the custom drawing takes more than 30 minutes preparation time especially if the artist is
"busy" or "working" on a client you must either schedule a "free" consultation appointment
and expect to leave a deposit, or come in when it is less busy (call first). In any case a
deposit must be collected before any "drawing" work is done. Absolutely no exceptions!
- There is a $10.00 fee for opening equipment if you decide to cancel the procedure after the
seals have been broken. Sorry but it does cost us money to provide the materials in order for
us to do these procedures, so there are absolutely no exceptions to this rule.
- Once you are signed up for a tattoo that the artist has taken his/her time to prepare whether it
be an "on the spot" drawing or a "deposit" drawing and you decide to cancel the procedure
there will be a 20% artist preparation fee deducted from your refund for "on the spot"
drawings and the amount of deposit for "deposit" drawings. You will be refunded your
money minus the deposit amount and any other applicable fees. Absolutely no exceptions!,
the artists must be compensated for their time.
- Once work has commenced you have the option to either make an appointment to
continue/complete the tattoo/piercing on a day convenient to both you and the artist or
whatever has been rendered is what you have paid for. Absolutely no exceptions!
- We allow only one cancellation of your appointment without 24HR prior notice after that a
$10.00 fee is required to reschedule another appointment, if the second appointment is kept
then that fee will be refunded, however, if cancellation again without 24HR prior notice,
appointment "fees" will be in effect and are non-refundable/non-transferable for each and
every appointment there after! Paying a deposit for an appointment guarantees your
appointment slot for that day but we cannot promise exact times due to the nature of our
work so plan on extended waiting times. You must give 24HR notice if you want to
cancel/reschedule your appointment without penalty and you must reschedule your
appointment for a later day convenient for the artist. Only in the event that you no longer want
the tattoo you will be refunded the difference of the drawing "deposit", if paid in full, and all
"fees" apply. For any rescheduled appointment made by phone, you will be given 72 hours to
bring in your deposit. If payment is not received within that time, your appointment will not be
held. Absolutely no exceptions!

refunded in any event, especially pertaining to the infectious disease and drug/alcohol
clause.

$10.00 for repairs 20 minutes or less but if repairs are above 20 minutes you will be

harassing the procedure is over and you will be asked to leave and no refund is granted,
