Frequently Asked Questions

  • Getting started is simple. Reach out through our booking form—we’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

  • Sausage schedules bookings in blocks, typically covering 3–4 month periods. If the dates you want aren’t currently available, please still submit a booking request — we’ll add you to the waitlist and contact you when opening arises.

  • You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within a few business day.

  • Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. We're here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving.

  • Deposits are non-refundable. Sausage understands that life happens and allows one reschedule without affecting your deposit, provided you give at least 48 hours’ notice. Subsequent cancellations or multiple reschedules, or reschedules with less than 48 hours’ notice, may result in forfeiture of the deposit.

    • Cash in person at the shop.

    • Digital invoice sent to your email.

    • Venmo request.

  • Sausage only books half-day or full-day appointments.

    • Half-day appointments: 3 hours or less.

    • Full-day appointments: 6–7 hours.

  • Preparing for your appointment starts weeks in advance. Begin by keeping your skin healthy: moisturize regularly and exfoliate gently to remove dead skin. Stay well hydrated and prioritize quality sleep in the nights leading up to your session. Eat a substantial, protein-rich meal before you arrive — Sausage takes minimal breaks, and a good meal helps your body sustain a long session. It’s also recommended to bring snacks and drinks to have on hand during your appointment.

  • You will see the artwork on the day of your appointment. Please keep in mind Sausage manages a high volume of projects leading up to your session and typically begins work on your design only a few days before your appointment. If you have specific reference images, measurements, or essential details, please submit them as early as possible so Sausage has everything he needs when he starts designing your piece. Minor adjustments can usually be made at the appointment, but major changes may require rescheduling. Thank you for your understanding and for planning accordingly.
