Sailors & Scoundrels Tattoo

1. Non-refundable Deposit: The deposit should be non-refundable, as it secures the appointment and covers the artist's time, especially if the client cancels last minute. This is a standard practice to ensure artists aren't left with empty time slots.

2. Cancellation Notice: Clients should be required to give a certain amount of notice if they need to cancel or reschedule. A typical time frame is 48 to 72 hours before the appointment. This should give the artist enough time to fill the spot.

3. Rescheduling: We allow rescheduling, but the deposit could be forfeited if the client cancels without proper notice. If rescheduled within a reasonable time frame (e.g., within 1-2 weeks), the deposit can be transferred to the new appointment. 

4. Late Arrival or No Show: If a client is late beyond a certain time (e.g., 30 or more minutes) or doesn't show up at all, they could lose their deposit. It's important to clarify that this is to respect the artist's time.

5. Exceptions: Some artists may make exceptions for emergencies or extenuating circumstances. But this will be hamdled between the artist and client depending on the situation.

This policy helps protect the artist's time while maintaining fairness to the client.
