What is your policy on timeliness?

Please arrive to your appointment on time. If you can help it, please do not arrive earlier then 5-10 minutes, I may be with another client. Let me know if you are running late by sending me a text at (515) 612-6629‬, email at freelance(@)meanzchan.com or DM me. If I haven’t heard from you 15-20 minutes into our appointment, you will be considered a no-show and you will have to reschedule your appointment! Please just be communicative.

What if I need to reschedule?

You can reschedule on your own through the confirmation email you received up to 24 hours before the appointment, but if it is more last minute, you have to let me know through email or text. If not, you will then be considered a no show. I understand that sometimes circumstances are different and I am pretty flexible! Please just be communicative.

If you reschedule too many times, I may require another $50 deposit.

If you no show under some circumstances, you may still book with me unless it happens multiple times without explanation!

Can I bring a guest?

Yes, you can bring 1 guest, our space is small but we understand you may need support!

I do not show designs until the day of because I either draw it the 24-48 hours before or day of. Please respect this boundary, I will not make exceptions.

Do you take walk-ins?

I do not take walk-ins. Jade Rabbit has scheduled flash days once a month, but those are usually tied to specific designs.

Are there tattoos that you will not do?

Yes, currently I do not offer hand, feet or face tattoos. I don’t usually do cover-ups, but you can always ask!
