TATTOO BOOKING CONFIRMATION
HOOCHIMAMA TATTOO STUDIO

Hey legend — thanks for booking in with Hoochimama Tattoo Studio. We’re stoked to have you.

Your appointment is now secured with your chosen artist. You’ll receive a confirmation text shortly, plus a reminder 4 days before your session.

Please read through the below so everything runs smooth on the day.

HOW OUR STUDIO WORKS

All resident and guest artists at Hoochimama operate independently. They rent space within the studio and are fully responsible for their own work, pricing, bookings, and payments.

This means: – Your artist manages your booking directly
– All payments are handled by your artist (or via the studio on their behalf)
– Any questions, changes, or design discussions should go straight to them

We’re here to support the space — your artist is your go-to for everything tattoo-related.

STRICTLY 18+

We are a strictly 18+ tattoo studio. No exceptions.

Even though WA law allows tattooing minors with parental consent, we do not tattoo anyone under 18 under any circumstances.

Please bring valid photo ID to your appointment.

PREPARING FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT

A little prep goes a long way:

– Please DO NOT shave the area
– Avoid sunburn or damaged skin
– Moisturise the area daily for at least a week beforehand
– Get a good night’s sleep
– Eat a solid meal before your session
– Stay hydrated

Please do not arrive intoxicated or hungover — your appointment may be cancelled and deposit forfeited.

We ask that you DO NOT use numbing cream unless your artist has approved it beforehand. It can affect how the skin takes ink and heals. Your artist may use numbing products during the session if needed.

PAYMENT

Payment is made directly to your artist or through the studio system.

– Card payments available (1.4% surcharge applies)
– Some artists accept cash or bank transfer
– We recommend bringing a little extra in case your session runs longer or you decide to add to your design

Deposits: – All deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE
– Deposits come off the final tattoo price
– Deposits secure your appointment time, not a specific design

Rescheduling with enough notice may allow your deposit to be transferred — this is at your artist’s discretion.

DESIGN PROCESS

Every artist works differently, but most will prepare designs close to your appointment date.

Please trust the process and avoid chasing your artist for early previews — they’re usually working through multiple clients at once.

Small adjustments can be made on the day. However:

– Major changes to design, size, or placement may result in cancellation
– Turning up with a completely different idea will likely forfeit your appointment and deposit

Respect your artist’s time and preparation.

APPOINTMENT ETIQUETTE

– Please arrive on time
– Late arrivals may result in reduced tattoo time or cancellation
– If you’re running late, call the studio ASAP
– Rescheduling requires at least 4 days’ notice

No-shows or last-minute cancellations will result in loss of deposit.

You’re welcome to bring one support person if needed, but space is limited — check with your artist first.

HEALTH & SAFETY

For your safety, please inform your artist if you:

– Are pregnant
– Have any medical conditions
– Are taking blood thinners or medication
– Have skin conditions or allergies

If you are unwell (cold/flu symptoms), please reschedule. We’d rather tattoo you at your best.

AFTERCARE

Your artist will provide specific aftercare instructions — follow them closely.

Healing is your responsibility. Good aftercare = good results.

Touch-ups (if needed) are handled by your artist and may vary depending on the situation.

GUEST ARTISTS

Booking with a guest artist is a special opportunity — here’s what to keep in mind:

– Guest artists may not be available for touch-ups once they leave
– Some may have limited English — clear communication helps a lot
– Large-scale or multi-session pieces should be planned carefully within their stay

Please respect their time and schedule — many are booked solid while visiting.

APPOINTMENT ETIQUETTE

– Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to your appointment. This gives you time to settle in, complete any prep, and make small adjustments before we begin.

– Your artist will likely have other clients booked after you, so arriving on time (or early) helps keep the day running smoothly for everyone.

– Late arrivals may result in reduced tattoo time or cancellation

– If you’re running late, call the studio ASAP

– Rescheduling requires at least 4 days’ notice

No-shows or last-minute cancellations will result in loss of deposit.

You’re welcome to bring one support person if needed, but space is limited — check with your artist first. 

FINAL NOTES

We’re here to make your experience easy, comfortable, and memorable (for the right reasons).

Respect your artist, trust the process, and come in ready — we’ll take care of the rest.

We hope this information helps you have a smooth and enjoyable experience with our artists. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Thanks again for choosing Hoochimama.
We can’t wait to tattoo you.
