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 use a phone system called dialpad. It occasionally doesn't give me my messages. So if you do not hear from me within 24 hrs -please email. thank you                               

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. If I do not reply to text use the email - Please. I use Dialpad and it looses text occasionally. 

Permanent make up & microneedling services are generally 1 hour appointments per procedure.  Whereas tattoos can take multiple sessions & varying times 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. Please do not just stop by because you are definitely interrupting someone elses appointment. 

Thanks in advance, Nikki

APPOINTMENT POLICY

Payment denotes acceptance of this agreement.

2026 Appointment Policy

Updated Booking & Day Rate Policy

Last-minute cancellations and reschedules are often extremely difficult to refill on short notice and may result in the loss of an entire reserved appointment day for the studio- making taking deposits for reserved time necessary.
Tattooing will always be my passion, but because the studio also offers a variety of specialized services, reserving large appointment blocks, often means declining multiple other procedures that could otherwise be scheduled during that same time.

• Large-scale appointments including multiple services of permanent makeup, large scale microneedling (large or multiple areas)
tattoo sleeves, back pieces, scar camouflage projects, and any appointment reserving over 3 hours of studio time are considered large scale appointments and require a deposit equal to half of the estimated cost of the session. 

• When booking a large block  appointment, you are reserving dedicated studio time that is no longer available to other clients or procedures. For this reason, deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable once booked, regardless of the amount of time ultimately used during the appointment the full reserved time will be billed.
Reschedule exceptions are true medical events like hospitilzaton. 

• Smaller appointments (approximately 1 hour) continue to require a  deposit, which is applied on our final session,  toward the service balance.
• Smaller appointments require a minimum of 48 hours notice to reschedule without deposit forfeiture. Standard deposits are typically $100. 

  • Deposits secure and reserve dedicated studio time, preparation, and scheduling availability, and are therefore non-refundable.
    • All Saturday appointments must be prepaid in full at the time of booking and are non refundable.

I cannot work on clients who
• do not have valid ID
• are ill or excessively sunburned
• bring anyone under 18 into the studio- no one under 18 please. 
• arrive more than 15 minutes late

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

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.
