Contact forms and tattoo bookings
When you submit an inquiry or book a tattoo session through this website, I collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, and any notes about your tattoo idea or tattoo removal request.
This data is used strictly to respond to your inquiry and manage your tattoo booking in Edinburgh. I do not share or sell your data to third parties.
Payments
If you pay a deposit for a tattoo appointment or laser tattoo removal session, your payment is processed securely using Stripe or SureCart. I do not see or store your full payment information. Your booking data is retained for scheduling and client record purposes.
All tattoo deposits are non-refundable and final. Appointments cannot be rescheduled or transferred. The only exception is if I am personally unable to carry out the tattoo for any reason — in that case, and that case only, I will refund your payment in full.
Uploaded media
If you upload reference images or photos of an existing tattoo, please remove any embedded location data (EXIF) before uploading. This helps protect your privacy if the image is published.
