Deposit Required for any Appointment
At Miller Ink Tattoo Studio, to make an appointment with an artist, we require a $50.00 non-refundable deposit. The deposit reserves the time with an Artist and is applied to the cost of your tattoo if one sitting and the final appointment if multiple sittings are required. For piercings we require a $30.00 non-refundable. It holds your appointment time. Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferrable.
Before Your Appointment
Make sure you eat a good meal before your appointment, bring snacks or drinks you need. Wear non-restrictive clothing that is comfortable for you and that gives the Artist access to the area being tattooed.
Bring your valid photo ID every time for both tattoos and piercings. It's a Michigan state requirement, even if you have been to the shop before. For minors you will need to bring parent or legal guardian, birth certificate or legal guardianship paperwork.
Our space is small and all have big personalities. We welcome and love your friends to come for moral support, if needed. We prefer you limit it to one or two people.
Tattoo Designing
Designing the tattoo is a collaborative process. The Artist will spend considerable time with you to create the design. As your Artist designs your tattoo, your approval is required for each step through completion.
What if you don't like the drawing?
This is very, very rare as each stage of the design process requires your approval from the beginning through completion.
Changing/Resizing the Design
If the artist draws a design for you that was agreed upon during the consultation and you decide to completely change the design of the tattoo, an additional $50.00 Drawing Fee is required to draw a different design. If additional charges are required for the new tattoo because of the design and size, the Artist will inform you of the cost before any action is taken on the new design.
Rescheduling Appointment
In the event that you need to reschedule, you must contact the Artist within 48 hours of your appointment by phone or e-mail to reschedule. Your appointment will be rescheduled to agreed time between you and the artist. Your deposit will move with your rescheduled appointment. An appointment can be rescheduled up to two times before it is forfeited.
Missed Appointment
If you missed your appointment and you didn't reschedule, then you forfeit your deposit. A new $50.00 or the $30.00 non-refundable deposit is required to schedule a new appointment.
Canceled Appointments
Cancellations automatically forfeit the $50.00 or the $30.00 non-refundable deposit with no exceptions.
If you cancel your appointment on the day of your appointment, it is considered an automatic cancellation and you automatically forfeit the $50.00 or the $30.00 non refundable deposit with no exceptions.
No Show Appointments
If you don't show up for your appointment, it is considered an automatic cancellation and you automatically forfeit the $50.00 or the $30.00 non-refundable deposit with no exceptions.
Late Appointments
We give you a 15 minute grace time to arrive on time for your scheduled appointment. If on the 16th minute, and you have not arrived, it is considered an automatic cancellation and you automatically forfeit the $50.00 or the $30.00 non-refundable deposit with no exceptions.
As a courtesy, Please call the Artist if you are going to be late and to let us know you are on your way.
Intoxicated
Under Michigan law, we can't tattoo you as we need your full and sober consent. Please do not show up intoxicated.
Unattended Children
We love children, but a tattoo studio is not a child-friendly environment. We can't have unattended children running free in the Studio because you will not be able to attend to them while you're getting the tattoo.
If You Are Sick or Contagious
We keep a very clean Studio and need to be attentive to germs and infection risk. If you are sick or contagious in any way please call us to cancel your appointment and we will discuss the deposit at the time. You can read all about getting tattooed when you're sick on a blog post about it here.

Top question we get Do we do tattoo parties? The answer is yes and the process we have you do is go to our website millerinktattoostudio.com and completely fill out the form but only one person from the tattoo party has to fill out the booking form so like in the booking form example in the additional information we need you to put tattoo party and how many people and if you have images or ideas for everyone please send those over through our email millerinktattoostudio@gmail.com and in the subject of the email put what tattoo party the images are for.
