Nikki's Tattoo Studio, Serving Charlotte since '95

The best way to schedule is by email. Let me know what service you are interested in.

EMAIL: 1995NTS@Gmail.com or Text: 704-845-1533.

I want the appointment process to be easy. But, I do stay busy so they are necessary. The best way to make one is to text me (704) 845-1533 or email me:1995nts@gmail.com and let me know your needs. I will get back to you within the day.

Permanent make up & microneedling services are generally 1 hour appointments per procedure. Whereas tattoos can take multiple sessions to completion. So, I do need to know what the tattoo is prior to booking for an accurate time estimate, as well as time to create artwork necessary to do the tattoo with.

Consultations can be arranged in person. But often working through email or a phone call can work fine.

Thanks in advance, Nikki

APPOINTMENT POLICY

Payment denotes acceptance of this agreement.

2025 appointment policy

I am very grateful for your appointment request, and I am sorry for the necessity of taking a deposit.
But I have way more last-minute reschedules and cancellations than I can financially absorb.
I get so many appointments request daily, but after holding spots for weeks I often end up only getting to see ½ of those held due to these last min reschedules or cancellations. The deposit helps me make sure you are prioritizing the time I am holding for you as I am prioritizing it for you. And if you do not make it, it is a small monetary aid in my business’s revenue it has lost due to the inability to see anyone else at that time. The longer you are in my schedule, the more times I have not allowed others to take that time when requested. Please do not let your deposit be forfeited. I do not want that- I want to see you!!
The policy is as follows: All deposits are non-refundable. I can allow 1 reschedule 4 days prior to your appointment. I cannot work on you if you are not in good physical condition including sunburn or illness, do not have your Id, if you bring a minor with you (no one under 18 is permitted in the studio), or if you are more than 15 min late. Thank you for your understanding. Nikki

A not so gentle reminder.
I am here for you. I try and make myself available in the most convenient times for you.
I know when you reschedule or cancel last minute you think you are just one person. NO. Often I am asked to absorb multiple cancellations in a week.
You cannot begin to imagine the stress of daily having numerous clients reach out asking for spaces in my schedule. Most often my response is “I am so sorry!! I don’t have anything until next month, I am holding time for many.” Then, the day of your appointment – you cancel the day before or day of. So do 2 other people & I end up NOT having anyone.
It's beyond stressful & not ok or fair.
I also, cannot say how many times in 30 years, my husband or friends ask me to do something fun. “I am sorry, I’d love to, but I am bound to my client’s appointment” then you cancel. And I lose time with friends and family. Over and over.
I try so very hard to prioritize my entire life around YOUR day. The very least you can do is 1) show up for the time YOU requested. 2) do not question the tiny deposit requested. Check around – most artist ask you to prepay the entire day. 3) check your calendar BEFORE booking & show up.
I am sorry if I sound mad. But it does make me mad to not be able to run my business at it’s full potential. It would be different if I was begging for business. Instead, I am losing business because of long wait times and I am holding time for people who are not coming while turning others away. I am missing time with my family and friends for time you are abandoning last minute.
I am not a beginner. I am 30 years in. I believe that alone says I am not sitting here with no one wanting in my books.
All I ask of you is PRIORITIZE my time You asked for. I so understand people get sick or real emergencies arise. But otherwise, please stop doing this to me. It is not fair or ok.
Thank you – Nikki

I so appreciate your business, but respectfully ask that you leave anyone under 18 at home. This includes, infants, toddlers, small children and teens. I do my best work when I can concentrate and also want to be considerate to clients who didn’t bring their children and are trying to stay calm & comfortable during their appointment.

I am sorry but if you bring them, you could forfeit your appointment since I can't work on you at that time.
Also, In NC it's illegal to tattoo anyone under 18. (NC is not a permission sign state-not legal here). So, parents you should really question the place that's willing to do so...It's simply not legal.
