FAQ
F.A.Q.
Booking Policy
A non-refundable deposit of $50 is required to secure any Flash Fundraiser appointment.
A non-refundable deposit of $80 is required for all other tattoo services (excluding free touch-ups).
Your deposit will be applied towards the specific tattoo concept for which you have booked.
If you wish to change your concept:
You must provide at least 48 hours' notice before your appointment.
Failure to provide notice may result in the refusal of your service.
Design changes can be accommodated to an extent (excluding flash pieces). However, if your idea changes significantly, I reserve the right to reschedule your appointment, and a new deposit may be required for the updated design.
No drawings will be provided before your appointment. Sufficient time will be allocated between clients to review and modify your design, if necessary, before the tattoo begins.
Preparing For Your Appointment
Day before:
• Do not consume drugs or alcohol at least 24 hours before your appointment
• Drink lots of water
• Moisturizing the area that will be tattooed is always a good idea

• Eat a good breakfast/lunch
• Bring snacks and drinks
• Feel free to bring headphones, a book, your tablet/iPad, whatever you need to make yourself comfortable

Shop Policy
Please arrive on time for your appointment. If you anticipate being late, kindly inform me in advance.
Come prepared—please refer to the F.A.Q. section on my website for specific instructions.
You may bring one friend or family member to your appointment.
It is strongly recommended to refrain from consuming alcohol or drugs for at least 24 hours before your appointment.
Children under the age of 16 are not permitted in the shop during tattoo sessions for safety reasons.
Inclement Weather Policy
I live in a rural area and always make every effort to arrive at work, understanding that many clients travel to see me. However, should I deem the weather unsafe, I reserve the right to reschedule your appointment. My clients' and my own safety are my top priority.
If you feel unsafe driving in inclement weather, you may also reschedule your appointment. Please notify me in advance.
Van Policy
Our PCE MCHN van has always been strictly for events only. The van can be booked for events happening at your place of residence; however, it will not be used as a replacement for 1-off appointments or appointments that can be scheduled at our shop.
To book us for your next event, please refer to the Van/Events section of our page here. (https://www.pcemchn.com/van-events)
Rescheduling, No-Show, and Late Policies
Appointments can be rescheduled up to 48 hours in advance. After this window, your deposit will be forfeited, although some exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis.
If rescheduling, your deposit may be transferred to an alternate date, but this can only occur once. A new deposit will be required after this.
If you are feeling ill, please reschedule your appointment with at least 24 hours' notice. Your deposit will be applied to your new appointment. A transfer is allowed once; after that, a new deposit will be required. Some exceptions will apply depending on the circumstances, so please communicate openly with me—I am very understanding.
If you fail to show up for your appointment without prior notice, your deposit will be forfeited, and you will no longer be able to book with Peace Machine Tattoo.
If you are running late, please notify me. If you arrive 15 minutes or more after your scheduled appointment without notice, I reserve the right to deny service and refuse to reschedule.
Clients who arrive up to 20 minutes late, with prior notice, will be accommodated (excluding flash days and Fundraisers). However, your tattoo may not be completed within the allocated time.
What if I am under 18 and would like a tattoo?
We will tattoo minors aged 16 and 17 with parental consent; however, there are a few things you will need to bring with you. You will need to bring government-issued photo identification with your picture, name, and date of birth. Your parent or legal guardian must be present with their own government-issued photo identification that has a matching last name AND home address to yours. Furthermore, the parent/legal guardian must be present during the tattooing process.
We reserve the right to refuse to tattoo any pieces that we deem unacceptable/inappropriate for a minor to have, such as tattoos on the neck, hands, face, and certain subject matter.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept CASH & E-TRANSFER
Where are you located?
We are located at:
83 Main Street South, Alexandria, Ontario.
Where can I park?
We have a designated parking lot behind/beside our shop. This can be accessed from Main Street. You will see a garage door attached to our building with a driveway. It is very easy to miss, so be on the lookout. Please park on the far side of the parking lot.
Street parking is also available on GERNISH Street (which is the street corner where our shop is situated). There are 1HR parking signs, but these can be ignored.
Otherwise, you can park in the GAETANS Chip Stand parking lot, which is located only a few buildings north of our shop.
