Booking Policies
Booking —
A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment. The deposit amount is $100 for most services, while some appointments require a $200 deposit. Your deposit will be applied toward your final balance, and any remaining balance due will be paid at the end of your appointment.
Deposits must be paid within 48-hours of confirming your appointment. If the deposit is not completed on time, your appointment may be cancelled to accommodate other clients.
Per our policy, sketches of tattoo designs are not sent out ahead of your appointment. Designs will be prepared and presented on the date and time of your appointment. You will have allocated time at the beginning of your session to partner with your Artist on any minor adjustments, but major changes to the originally requested design not appropriately communicated in advance may result in needing to reschedule your appointment. This will forfeit your original deposit, requiring a new deposit to be rebooked. New ideas submitted will require Artist approval as they may determine they are not the right fit for the new project.
Prior to any commitment, you will always have the opportunity to review and approve the design and composition of your tattoo.
Payment —
We prefer cash for all payments made at our Studio. Deposits and other payments made will be made remotely with your authorized debit or credit card. If you must use your card in-person at our Studio, we charge an additional 3% to cover the credit card transaction fee.
Please note: We do not have an ATM in-studio at this time. We do not accept checks.
Rescheduling —
Each guest is allowed one reschedule free of penalty, with 48-hour advance notice. Any notice thereafter will be considered a cancellation and will require an additional $100/$200 deposit.
A second reschedule will result in forfeiting your deposit, requiring an additional $100/$200 deposit.
Cancellations —
Please let us know at least 48-hours in advance of your appointment should you need to cancel, as we would be happy to reschedule you. Any notice thereafter will result in forfeiting your deposit.
Tardiness —
Please contact the studio if you’re running late. A courtesy text or email would be appreciated. If you are more than 15 minutes late, your appointment will be cancelled and a new deposit must be submitted to reschedule.
No-Call-No-Shows —
Your card on file will be charged 50% of the service price.
Cosmetic Tattoo Multi-Service Promotion —
This promotion is available exclusively for cosmetic tattoo services performed by So Yeon. Clients who schedule two cosmetic tattoo services within a four (4) week period will receive 20% off the second service.
To qualify, both appointments must be scheduled on the same calendar day, under the same client name. Appointments may be submitted separately, but must be booked on the same day to be considered part of this promotional bundle. The promotion is limited to one set of two services per client, and the discount applies only to the second service.
In accordance with our studio policies, one reschedule is permitted without penalty. Any rescheduled appointment must still fall within the original four-week timeframe to retain the promotional rate. Appointments moved outside of this window, additional reschedules, or changes to the booked services will result in the promotion being voided, and standard pricing and deposit policies will apply.
This promotional bundle is ongoing and subject to change or discontinuation at any time without prior notice. The offer applies to cosmetic tattoo services only, is subject to artist availability, and cannot be combined with other promotions or discounts.

Getting your first tattoo is an exciting experience, and proper preparation can help ensure everything goes smoothly. Here are some key tips to get ready for your appointment:
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water before your appointment. Being well-hydrated helps your skin stay healthy and can make the tattooing process easier. You're welcome to bring a water bottle to your appointment!
Eat a Good Meal: It’s crucial to eat a balanced and filling meal before your appointment. Tattooing can be physically taxing and having proper nutrition helps maintain your energy levels and prevent fainting. We recommend eating a meal rich in protein and complex carbs. If you’re concerned about your energy levels during the session, feel free to bring snacks like energy bars or fruit. Keeping these on hand can help you stay energized throughout the tattooing process.
Get Plenty of Rest: Ensure you’re well-rested before your session. Being tired can make the experience less comfortable.
Avoid Alcohol and Drugs: Refrain from consuming alcohol or recreational drugs at least 24 hours before your appointment. These substances can affect your blood flow and increase bleeding, making the tattoo process more difficult.
Wear Comfortable Clothing: Dress in comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that provides easy access to the area where you’ll be tattooed. For example, if you're getting a tattoo on your arm, wear a short-sleeved shirt.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Refrain from sunbathing or using tanning beds in the days leading up to your appointment. Sunburnt skin can be more sensitive and difficult to work with.
Bring ID and Payment: Remember to bring a valid ID. Please note that we prefer cash for all payments made at our Studio. If you must use your card in-person at our Studio, you will be charged a 3% transaction fee. Our studio does not have an ATM. Checks are not accepted.
Communicate Your Comfort: Let your Artist know if you have any concerns or if something feels uncomfortable during the tattooing process. Your comfort is important to us!
If you have any specific questions or need further advice, don’t hesitate to contact us at hello@finelinecosmetics.com before your appointment. We’re here to help!

We understand you may want to bring a special someone with you for support. However, we ask that all guests wait in the waiting area throughout the duration of your tattoo. We always try to limit distractions so our artists can do their best work for you.

Let’s be real—any trauma to the skin will be uncomfortable and that especially applies to tattoos. We use both a topical numbing cream and lidocaine gel to help minimize pain and discomfort for our guests, but pain tolerance tends to vary from person to person.
-
Our books for cosmetic tattoos are always open. Appointments can be booked here!
-
You can discuss your wants, needs, and concerns with your Artist to help you decide which service is best for your brows. Our Artists will customize the look that is best suitable for both your skin and face to compliment your features and help you achieve your desired results.

Lip Blush tattoos won’t change the actual size of your lips. However, this service is meant to give the illusion of fuller and symmetrical lips by restoring the color and shape.
