Policies

All deposits and tattoos are NON-REFUNDABLE and non-transferable.

Touch-ups: within 6 months, minimum $75 materials fee (more for tattoos on hands or feet- to be determined on case by case basis)

Arrival Time: We want you to have the best tattoo experience with time to adjust the design and avoid rushing the appointment. With multiple tattoo appointments each day, arriving late impacts not only your appointment, but also your artists break time and appointments following yours. Because of this, arriving more than 15 minutes late may result in the cancellation of your appointment and the forfeiture of your deposit. Please plan accordingly and arrive on time.

Guests: Only one guest is allowed per person, but they must be respectful of the artist workspace during the tattoo session. Guest should remain in guest seating area. Please no looking over their shoulder as they work. *Guests must be over the age of 18 - For health and safety reasons we can not allow children in the studio.*

Clients from Out of Town: Your calendar will automatically show your appointment in your current time zone. Once you arrive to California, make sure your calendar is showing your appointments in Pacific Time Zone and check it against the time you selected over email. We understand this can cause some confusion, but we can not guarantee availability if you show up at the incorrect time. Arriving more than 15 minutes late may result in the cancellation of your appointment and the forfeiture of your deposit.

Pets: We love dogs! However, the health department prohibits all pets, with the exception of service animals, from tattoo studios. Allowing your pet entry to the studio could result in fines for us and the loss of our health permit and license. Bringing a pet to your appointment will result in the cancellation of your appointment and forfeiture of your deposit.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • In the state of California, it is illegal to tattoo a minor under the age of 18, even with parental consent. ID is required to verify age. We will not tattoo anyone under the age of 18. NO EXCEPTIONS.

  • We strive to give each client our full attention without disruptions during their appointments. Because of this, we DO NOT accept walk-ins. We are happy to accommodate last minute bookings as much as we are able. If you would like to check availability before submitting your booking inquiry form, please text us at 619-259-0027. We do still require a booking form to be completed. Please note that we can not respond to calls/texts from international numbers.

  • Please gather all your reference photos and submit a booking request form.

  • The studio minimum is $150. We use the highest quality equipment and tattoo supplies. All supplies are single-use for each client.

    If interested in tiny tattoos, it is most cost effective to get multiple in the same session due to the amount of materials required each session.

  • Absolutely! We do ask for a separate deposit for each person in your party to block off the appropriate amount of time for each person. Also, one person is allowed in the room with you at a time, but the rest of your party can wait in the waiting room until their turn.

  • Week of:

    • avoid excessive sun exposure and use sunscreen. We can not tattoo sunburned skin.

    • make sure skin is moisturized and stay hydrated

    • skip the gym the day before to avoid sore muscles during your appointment

    Day of:

    • eat before your appointment

    • wear loose fitting clothing (preferably black)

  • Your tattoo will be covered with SecondSkin, which is a medical bandage specifically formulated to speed up tattoo recovery. Leave this on for 4-5 days.

    You will be provided an extra piece in case you need to replace it.

    You might see blood, ink, or plasma under the bandage during this time. That is normal and you don’t need to change it. Please email us at info@iconiclinesstudio.com if you have questions or concerns.

    WHAT TO AVOID:

    No swimming, baths, or submerging tattoo in water for at least 7 days. Even if you don’t swim, avoid the beach as the abrasiveness of sand damages the ink.

    Avoid hot water in the shower, saunas, or heat directly on the tattoo.

    No excessive sweating - light workouts are ok if your tattoo is in an area with less sweat exposure. No hot yoga or intense workouts for 5-7 days.

    Avoid direct sun as sun exposure is damaging to the ink and could damage your final result. You can not apply sunscreen directly on your tattoo as it heals (minimum of 2-3 weeks), so keep it covered.
