Work Policy

Thank you for your interest in my work.

This policy is meant to find a more efficient way to look for a date for schedule. It is very important that I can take the necessary time to work on your tattoo.

INQUIRE

You can contact us via official communication channels:

• Instagram (TOPO TATTOO)
• WhatsApp (+1 845 6752328)
• Email (topotattoo83@gmail.com)

For faster way of communication, you can send the following info:

1. Main tattoo idea.
2. Tattoo placement, you can attach a picture for reference.
3. The size of the piece measured in centimeters or inches.

Note: You can attach any reference image or your own sketch so we can get a better idea of the work you want.

DOWNPAYMENT

Once you have agreed the total price, we will proceed to the non-refundable $300 USD downpayment through Zelle. The rest of the price will be paid in full cash on the day of your appointment or Zelle.

Once you have made the deposit, the date and time for your appointment will be scheduled. We will check your tattoo design on the same day of your appointment. I focus the entire day working 1-1 with each client to detail every single piece.

Note: There is no extra charge in my designs since it is part of work offer.

In which cases do I lose the downpayment?

• Downpayment are not refundable, you can change the appointment date if informed at least 72 hours in advance.
• If the day of the appointment arrives and you miss it, you will lose the deposit and you will have to reschedule again.

DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT

• Arrive on time.
• Eat well before the session to avoid low pressure or fainting. You can bring any snack.
• No alcoholic beverages minimum 24 hrs previous your appointment. Save us the penalty of having to cancel the appointment.
• Make sure you are not in a hurry on the day of your appointment as it is difficult to know exactly how long the session will take, so we can work calmly and as long as necessary.
• If possible, on the day of the appointment, bring an extra white or beige piece of clothing with you for the post-tattoo photo session.

TATTOO AFTERCARE

I will send you home with some patch for recovery on your new tattoo. This is a clear, breathable, waterproof, hypoallergenic film that covers your fresh tattoo and protects it. I am currently using the brand DERM SHIELD. You will have to take it off 3 days later after the tattoo date.

Please review the following instructions!

• Keep the first Derm Shield I sent you home with on for 24 hours. (You may notice some liquid building up in there, blood + ink + plasma, this is completely normal.
• After 48 to 72 hours gently peel the film off. (I always suggest doing in the shower so you may have an easier time cleaning the tattoo with warm water.
• Wash your tattoo with fragrance free soap (neutral). After cleaning the tattoo gently blot dry with a freshly clean towel.
• Apply your aquaphor to your fresh tattoo 3 times a day for 7 days. After this, apply lotion twice a day until it isn’t peeling, itchy or dry feeling (8-14 days). Reduce lotion to once a day lasts days until completing 20 days of healing.

Do not have to obsessively wash your tattoo, only if you feel like it touched something it shouldn’t have. For example: you woke up in the morning and you may have sheet or clothing lint on it, animal fur etc. Wash your tattoo with gentle soap and water, dry and apply your lotion.

Things NOT to do while healing a tattoo.

• Swimming in pools / sea.
• Sun exposure / beach.
• Gym / workouts / excessive sweat.
• Shaving the tattoo area.
• Pets touching your fresh tattoo.

If you have any questions or concerns about your aftercare, please feel free to contact me.
