  • Touch-ups are not guaranteed for issues caused by improper aftercare, scratching, sun exposure, or natural aging.

  • Very small tattoos or extensive rework may require an additional fee.

 

15) Refund Policy

  • All deposits are non-refundable.

  • Tattoos are permanent. No refunds are offered for completed services.

  • Refunds are not provided for change of mind, personal preference, scheduling conflicts, or differences in healing.

  • Due to the custom and permanent nature of tattooing, all sales are final.

 

16) Chargebacks & Payment Disputes

  • Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute through a bank, credit card provider, or PayPal violates studio policy.

  • Any active appointment will be immediately canceled.

  • JINDHAMMA reserves the right to decline future bookings.
