On the day of your appointment
1. Preparation: It is important to eat/drink fluids before your appointment. You must
arrive sober in order to be tattooed. If you arrive in a condition where you cannot receive
a tattoo, your appointment will be canceled.
2. Clothing: Keep in mind the location you are receiving your tattoo and try to wear
appropriate clothes (ex: wear a black shirt if receiving an arm tattoo, shorts for leg
tattoos, etc.). This is simply so I don’t ruin your clothes with ink.
3. Time: Show up on time to the appointment. I am usually running right on schedule so it
is not necessary to arrive early. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late without notice,
your appointment will be canceled. If you give me notice that you are running behind,
please show up within 30 minutes of your scheduled time. If you arrive more than 30
minutes late, I may have to cancel your appointment.
4. Location/Parking: Lighthouse studio is located at 4780 Wyandotte st e. Parking is
available in the front on the street. Please follow rules posted on parking signs, I am not
responsible for any parking violations.
5. Payment: Payment can be made through either cash or etransfer to
madisonpjyoung@gmail.com . Price is based on an hourly rate. If you are unsure of the
rate, please reach out and ask me.
6. Client comfort: My goal as an artist is to give you the best tattoo experience. If at any
point you feel uncomfortable, feel free to ask for a break, some water, or a privacy
curtain.
7. Guests: You are more than welcome to bring guests to your appointment. Please note
my section is on the smaller side so one to two guests is recommended. If you choose to
bring a child please ensure that they will not disrupt the tattoo environment as well as be
respectful towards all clients/artists.
8. Numbing cream: Tattoos can be painful! If you prefer to use to numbing cream on the
day of your appointment, feel free to.
Design changes
1. Design: In most cases, I will show you the design the day of. You are allowed to make
minor changes when you see the design. I want you to love the tattoo! If your design is
complex, I may send the design prior to the appointment.

2. Sizing: If you change your design to something much smaller, or choose to get fewer
tattoos, please give me at least 1 week notice. If you change the design idea completely
within 1 week, your appointment may be canceled.
3. Change of design: If you choose to change your idea to something else of a similar
size/detail, please give me at least 48 hours notice.
4. Accommodation: Please note, design changes are accommodated subject to
availability. Based on my schedule for the day I may or may not be able to increase the
size, amount of detail, or color of the tattoo.
Touch Ups
1. Non guaranteed tattoos: Even with perfect aftercare, hand/finger, foot, and face
tattoos may not heal well. This is due to the placement; you are always washing your
hands, wearing shoes, etc. A $20 touchup fee will be charged for tattoos in these
placements. If you choose to change placement after reading this, please let me know.
2. Touch ups: All other placements will receive one free touchup session within the year
of receiving the tattoo. However, if fading to the tattoo is due to improper aftercare
(picking at tattoo, sun exposure, etc.) you may be charged a touchup fee dependent on
the size of the tattoo.
These policies are set in place to protect both parties involved in the tattooing process. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the above policies, please reach out. Sending a deposit means you agree to the above terms. Looking forward to tattooing you!
