Booking Process
-
Please submit a request through my booking form, as it has all the necessary information for me to provide you with a quote. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me.
-
Once you submit the form, I will email you with a quote and an appointment time option within the next 7 days. Please keep in mind that a quote is just an estimate.
My email responses sometimes end up in spam folders instead of your inbox. Please add seulgee@magpieinkstudio.com to your email contacts or be sure to check your spam frequently.

I understand your concern about not knowing the design before the appointment. However, it is my policy to discuss the design in person at the appointment instead of sending it beforehand to avoid unnecessary back and forth via email.
This is why I ask my clients to be as specific as possible in describing their tattoo vision, so there are no unexpected surprises or changes on the day of.
We will be able to talk through the design and make any changes when you come in, as long as they are not major changes (ie. adding elements not mentioned in the original request, changing the composition of the design entirely, etc.).
In a very rare case that there are any major changes to be made, you will have to put down another deposit of $100 to reschedule to a different date. The initial deposit of $200 will be forfeited and the second deposit of $100 will now go towards your final tattoo price.
-
A non-refundable $200 deposit via Zelle (seulgee@magpieinkstudio.com) is required for every appointment that is not a touch up. This is to avoid no-shows.
The deposit will go towards your final price.
If you are booking multiple appointments, please send me the deposit for all appointments (ie. 2 appointments = one-time deposit of $400 up front).
If you are booking for multiple people for one appointment, please send me the deposit for everyone involved (ie. 2 people in 1 appointment = one-time deposit of $400 up front).
Your appointment is only confirmed after I receive your deposit.
-
For rescheduling, the initial deposit will be honored once if contacted 1 week prior to your appointment time. You must reschedule within 72 hours of your original appointment time to a new date.
For any cancellations, the deposit is non-refundable.
-
So it’s been at least 4 weeks since your appointment—awesome! Please email me with a few current photos of your tattoo so we can get you scheduled.
For Illinois clients, I offer 1 free touch-up within 6 months of the appointment date. For out of state clients, the period is extended to 12 months. After the free period, every touch-up is $50.
-
Tattoos placed on the hand / feet / neck are not included. Because these are considered high-movement areas and have thinner skin, you will probably have to get it touched up at least once. Tattoos in those areas are $50 per touch-up.
