Terms and conditions 2026

For custom tattoos in Edinburgh.

About

This terms and conditions highlights how I work and conditions for cancellation policies, reschedule and design modification. As well as the studio guidelines and requirements for a smooth and safe procedure.

Requirements

  • You must be 18 or older to get a tattoo

  • Bring your ID with you on the day

  • Only the client must attend the appointment, no friends, family or pets are allowed in the shop during the procedure.

  • Use of numbing cream is prohibited

  • Placement restrictions: Larissa does not tattoo fingers, feet or behind the ear.

  • You must disclose any important information regarding your health such as ongoing treatments (antibiotics, acne treatment, cancer treatment), pregnancy, breastfeeding etc.

Deposits, rescheduling and bookings

To confirm a booking, a £100 deposit is required per client. Deposits may be higher for large-scale tattoos or multiple day sessions.

All deposits and payments are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to another person.

If a client needs to reschedule their appointment, the request must be made with at least 72 hours’ notice prior to the scheduled appointment time. Otherwise, the deposit will be forfeited.

  • Rescheduling requests must be made at least 72 hours before the appointment. With sufficient notice, your deposit can be transferred once to a new appointment date within 3 months. Requests made with less than 72 hours' notice will result in the loss of the deposit.

  • Deposits may be forfeited if the tattoo area is sunburnt, irritated, injured, or otherwise unsuitable for tattooing, or if numbing cream has been applied.

  • Your deposit is tied to the tattoo concept discussed at the time of booking. Major changes to the original concept may require a new booking and deposit. Adjustments to the design on the day of the session are fine.

    The remaining balance must be paid in full on the day of your session via bank transfer, card payment, or cash.

Design process

Designs are individual to each client and Larissa does not reproduce other artist's designs or ideas.

Designs are not shared prior to the appointment. Adjustments to the design are included as part of the service, and extra time is allocated within the appointment for design review and any necessary changes before tattooing begins.

I also offer a separate design service, where a session can be booked to design the tattoo design prior to the appointment. This service is independent from the tattoo session and is not deducted from the tattooing price. (only available if the design is also being tattooed by me)

When enquiring about a tattoo, clients are encouraged to share as much detail as possible. This may include specific elements, style preferences, or subjects such as particular plants or animals. Providing clear information helps ensure the design is aligned with the client’s vision and reduces the need for significant changes later on.

If a client wishes to change the placement or any previously agreed details, they should get in touch as early as possible rather than waiting until the day of the appointment. This allows the session time and design process to be used in the best way possible.

Touch Up

A complimentary touch-up session is available if the client has followed the aftercare instructions correctly and contacts us via email within 2 months of the original tattoo session to request and schedule the touch-up.

Requests made after 2 months from the original session will no longer be eligible for a complimentary touch-up.

A £50 touch-up fee will apply for touch-up appointments requested up to 6 months after the original session.

Touch-ups requested after 6 months will be treated as a new tattoo session and priced accordingly.
