Booking Information

 
 

**IMPORTANT: Please read the following information in full in preparation for your upcoming tattoo appointment.

STUDIO INFORMATION

  • Famiglia Tattoo is located at 1505 Fell Street in Oak Bay (Victoria) BC.

  • When you arrive, you will be asked to complete a consent form. You must be 18 years of age or older to be tattooed by Paige.

  • You will also be required to wear a mask during your appointment. Please bring your own.

  • Please note that there is a half staircase leading up to the deck at the entryway; if this is a barrier for you, please let us know ASAP so an alternative space can be arranged to tattoo you in.

  • If you are driving, you may park in the “residents only” spaces on Fell Street, as you are accessing a business on said street. 

  • Please arrive alone for your appointment! If you have accessibility issues and/or require someone to assist you with movement and access, please let us know in advance, and Paige is happy to accommodate you.

PAYMENTS & DEPOSITS

  • Paige accepts payment by e-transfer or cash. There is no card reader at the studio, so she cannot take payments by card. Please note that clients travelling from outside Canada will need to make their payment in cash or via PayPal. 

  • Deposits are non-refundable, but if you need to reschedule, that’s totally okay! Please let us know as far in advance as possible. Your deposit may be forfeited if your cancellation is last-minute, as this is a missed day of income (and you will need to pay a new deposit to rebook), unless this is due to sickness or an unavoidable emergency. Please respect our time! In addition, if you need to reschedule more than 1-2 times, we may request a new deposit regardless of the notice you provide us. 

  • If you are booked in for a custom piece and would like to provide additional information, please forward your images to Paige’s email. The best references are screenshots of Paige’s work (as found on her website, BlueSky, or Instagram) and photographs of relevant subject matter. Please refrain from sending AI-generated images.

  • Please note that custom designs are not provided in advance of the appointment, unless requested by you and discussed with and approved by Paige. Otherwise, you will see the design on the day of your appointment, and Paige will be happy to collaborate with you and make changes at that time. 

  • Paige is also happy to offer complimentary virtual consultations (by Zoom or FaceTime) upon request.

ADDITIONAL INFO

  • Please have a snack before your appointment and make sure you’re well hydrated. It is important to eat before your appointment to minimize dizziness, discomfort, and nausea. You are more than welcome to bring a drink and snack with you if you'd like. There are also several shops and coffee shops near the studio.

  • If you have any sensory issues, anxiety around tattoos, or require accommodations of any kind, please let us know so Paige can be aware and make the experience as comfortable as possible for you! Please note that Paige often prefers a quiet appointment for the sake of focus and committing to creating the highest quality work. She encourages you to bring headphones, a book, etc. The space is private, and you and Paige will be the only ones present in the room for the appointment.

  • If you are unsure what to wear for your appointment, please reach out, and Paige is happy to give you pointers on the best attire to wear based on your tattoo’s placement. Comfortable, loose, and warm clothing is best. Bring layers, as body temperature tends to go down while being tattooed.

  • If you have any physical or mental health issues you would like Paige to know about before getting tattooed, please let us know at your discretion. We are committed to confidentiality and respect if you choose to disclose any health information that may be relevant to getting tattooed. Please note that Paige cannot tattoo you if you are currently pregnant.

  • If you’d like to buy anything from Paige’s online shop, you can save on shipping by picking up and paying for the items at your appointment! If you’d like anything, please let us know in advance so Paige can bring the items to the shop for your appointment.

If you have any questions before your appointment that are not addressed above, please don’t hesitate to contact us via email or by using Paige’s contact form. ☆
