Jeremy Switzer's Terms and Conditions
I appreciate your interest in getting tattooed. I am an artist and my creativity is driven by inspiration. What inspires me this season may not be the same thing that inspires me in the next. I make my selections for the quarter based on what inspires me at the time. Not every project will be chosen right away. If yours is not chosen this round, it could be chosen next time, if you enter a submission again. I do not email the people that I have not chosen, but I am grateful for your submission and your interest in my work nonetheless.
Hourly Rate- My current rate is $200 an hour or $220 an hour while traveling (conventions and guest appearances). If you are paying any other rate it is at my discretion, and I retain the right to raise that to the current rate at any time. I accept cards, but prefer cash due to fees charged by all card processing companies. I use a timer to keep track of time, and the timer begins when I glove up.
Full Day Rate- The full day rate is currently $1,500. This means that we will not exceed this amount during an 8 hour session, and provides 1 hour for lunch and a few short breaks throughout the day. While traveling, the day rate is $1,700.
Deposits, Drawing Fees and Minimum- For large custom tattoos the deposit is $300, This incorporates a non refundable $100 drawing fee, with a $200 deposit that is discounted from the price of your final tattoo session. The $300 deposit for tattoos that will take longer than 1 hour is non-refundable, no exceptions. Very small tattoos that require less than an hour will be charged a $100 deposit.
Your deposit is due upon project approval, and you will be emailed instructions on how to pay your deposit once your info has been filed in my system.
Deposits have no expiration date. The appointment minimum is $100.
*A new deposit will be required for each new piece, and dissolved at the finish of each piece. Calendar access will not be granted until your deposit has been paid in full. If I am required to do more than 2 drawings for one piece, I may charge a second $100 drawing fee. If a design cannot be agreed upon the remaining $200 deposit will be forfeit to cover the lost time and money of the appointment.
Calendar Access- The link provided for the calendar is exclusively for projects that I have chosen. Sharing this link with anyone else will result in the forfeiture of any current appointments and future opportunities to schedule. If a loved one wishes to get tattooed by me, they must provide their own separate proposal.
Cancellations- If an appointment needs to be canceled for any reason, we will defer to your next scheduled appointment, and add another after your last appointment. If you only had one appointment to begin with, I will do whatever I can to find you a new appointment. Deferral to the next scheduled appointment will happen regardless of whose behalf, or reason for the cancellation. 48 hours notice is preferred for any reason other than sudden illness or family emergencies. If you are sick, or not feeling well, please stay home for everyone’s health and safety.
Drawings- I send out drawings the night before, or the morning of, your tattoo appointment as a courtesy. Many tattoo artists do not share their drawings at all before appointments, so please do not treat this as a standard for the tattoo industry, and please do not ask to see your drawing early. I work on drawings in the order of scheduled appointments, and cannot skip ahead to yours and displace someone else’s allotted drawing time.
Appointment Info and Reminders- Automated emails and texts will be sent out before and after your appointments to make sure that you have all of the information that you need for your scheduled appointment. When you are scheduling, please be sure that all of your information is correct so that you don’t miss any of those details.
Thank you kindly for reading, and I hope we meet (again) soon!
