All design changed must be communicated to the artist at least 48 hours in advance to have your design ready for your appointment.

We are unable to reserve days longer than 48 hours without a deposit unless agreed upon with your artist.

A deposit is used as a place holder, and is knocked off of your final appointment on the books with your artist. At the last scheduled appointment, if you wish to book more appointments, the deposit will roll to your next scheduled day.

Appointments may be rescheduled with 72 hour notice, unless the artist personal policy states otherwise. In the case of a no show or same day cancellation, you will need to make a new deposit.

If you arrive more than 30 minutes late to an appointment, a new deposit may be required. Clients who show up late to their appointments may be subject to rescheduling due to time restrictions within artist schedules.

If a design is changed from the original agreed upon design, a new deposit may be required. In the case that the artist does not feel comfortable with the new design for reasons of not falling in their skill set or specialty - a deposit may be forfeited and a different artist may be recommended for the project.

In the case of three consecutive reschedules, a new deposit will be required to keep all future appointments.

All tattoos are non-refundable.

Dermsheild

The Dermsheild bandage will be applied prior to leaving the shop if your artist uses the product.

Within the first 24 hours, the bandage will fill with plasma. It can vary in color, but usually is brown and sludgy looking. This is normal. Some tattoos don’t produce much plasma at all, this is also normal.

Do not leave the bandage on for more the 5 days.

Remove the bandage in the shower. Thoroughly cleanse the left over plasma off of the tattoo with artist recommended products.

If the bandage ever peels back and exposes the tattoo, pops or springs a leak near the tattooed area - remove the bandage and move on to the after care process.

Never submerged the bandage in water.

After Care

Always wash your hands before touching your tattoo.

Do not use a washcloth or loofa to clean your tattoo.

Avoid scented products. Use non-scented lotions, and dial antibacterial liquid gold or other recommended cleanser to take care of your new tattoo.

Wash your tattoo 3-5 times daily, more if exposed to dirt or debris.

Once your tattoo is clean, let air dry. Then apply a thin layer of non-scented lotion to the area. Avoid petroleum based ointments after the first 48 hours of tattoo application (A&D/Aquaphor).

Do not over moisturize your tattoo or let the tattoo become too dry and crack.

Do not expose your tattoo to direct sunlight during the healing process.

Do not expose your tattoo to open water (lakes, ponds, oceans, etc.) and do not submerge your healing tattoo in water (baths). Taking a shower is okay.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to your artist for further guidance.

Failure to follow proper aftercare procedures may result in the forfeit of a free touch up.

Each artist is has to their own aftercare recommendations, please make sure to communicate with your artist about any questions or concerns.

Does Hidden Leaf Tattoo offer piercings?

Unfortunately, we have decided not to offer piercing at this time. While that may change in the future, right now we have no plans to add a piercer to our team.

Does Hidden Leaf Tattoo take walk-ins?

While we can’t guarantee an artist will be available same day, we would love to help you get something scheduled if we can’t accommodate same day. We have four artist who are responsible for managing their own booking. The easiest way to find out if we have time for a walk in that day is to call the shop. If you’re interested in a certain artist, contacting them directly would be advised.

How long does it take to respond?

Each artist operates differently, so turn around time can range. We try to get around to emails as quickly and efficiently as possible on our days off and we thank everyone for their patience!

Can artist send finished designs?

We do not send any design online. Usually we block extra time to make changes the day of, but we have no problem setting up an additional consultation for viewing of the design before your appointment! Just let us know so we can have it ready for you!
