Last Updated: July 6, 2026
Welcome to www.fattystattoos.com (the “Site”), operated by Sacred Mask LLC, doing business as Fattys Tattoos & Piercings. By accessing or using the Site or any of our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). If you do not agree, please do not use the Site or our services. Sacred Mask LLC owns the Fattys Tattoos & Piercings brand, trademark, and this website. Sacred Mask LLC does not own, operate, or perform services at any shop location. All shop locations are independently owned and operated by separate entities licensed to use the Fattys Tattoos & Piercings brand. References to “we,” “us,” or “our” in these Terms refer to Sacred Mask LLC with respect to this website, and to the applicable shop operator with respect to in-person services.
1. Services
Fattys Tattoos & Piercings provides professional tattoo, body piercing, and body jewelry services at three locations in Washington DC and Silver Spring, Maryland. These Terms govern your use of our website, online booking system, and in-person services. Sacred Mask LLC does not own, operate, or perform services at any shop location. All in-person services are provided by independently owned and operated entities licensed to use the Fattys Tattoos & Piercings brand. By booking an appointment or receiving services at any location, you are entering into a service relationship with the operator of that specific location, not with Sacred Mask LLC.
We are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and dignified experience for all clients. All clients have the right to privacy and dignity during body art procedures, particularly for work on sensitive body areas. Clients may request a plastic covering and/or the use of a private room when procedures require partial undressing. Your artist will communicate each step of the procedure and ask for your permission before making physical contact.
Service animals are permitted in the public areas of our shop locations in accordance with applicable law. The client must maintain control of the service animal at all times via voice, signal, or other effective controls. No other animals are permitted on the premises.
2. Age and Identification Requirements
All tattoo clients must be at least 18 years of age and provide a valid, non-expired government-issued photo ID. Clients are required to upload their ID through our booking system (Mangomint) prior to their appointment, and may be asked to present the physical ID at the time of service for verification. No exceptions are made to this policy.
Piercing services for minors (under 18) are available with the following requirements: the minor’s parent or legal guardian must be physically present at the time of service, the parent or guardian must upload their own valid government-issued photo ID through our booking system (Mangomint), and the minor’s birth certificate must be uploaded through the booking system to verify the parent-child relationship. Specific piercing services available to minors vary by location and age. Please visit our Age & ID Requirements page for full details.
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who cannot provide adequate identification or who we reasonably believe does not meet age requirements.
3. Appointments and Booking
Appointments can be booked through our online booking system (powered by Mangomint), by phone, or in person. Walk-in availability varies by location and artist schedule.
By booking an appointment, you agree to arrive on time. If you are more than 15 minutes late without notice, your appointment may be cancelled and your deposit forfeited. You agree to provide accurate health information when asked, including disclosing any allergies, skin conditions, medications, pregnancy, or other medical conditions that may affect the safety of the procedure. You also agree to follow all pre-appointment instructions provided by your artist.
Release Form: All clients must sign a release and consent form before the commencement of any body art service. No service will be performed without a signed release form on file. For minor piercing clients, the parent or legal guardian must sign the release form on the minor’s behalf.
Refusal of Service: We reserve the right to refuse or discontinue service at any time if we determine it cannot be performed safely, if a client is disrespectful, disruptive, intoxicated, abusive, or threatening, if a client violates our shop rules or applicable laws, or for any other reason at our discretion. We will never refuse service based on a client’s race, skin color, religion, gender, sexual or gender orientation, nationality, or physical condition not within the client’s control.
4. Deposits, Pricing, and Payment
Tattoo Deposits: A deposit is required to secure your tattoo appointment. Deposits are non-refundable. If you cancel or fail to show for your appointment, your deposit is forfeited. Deposits are applied toward the total cost of your tattoo service. If you need to reschedule, please provide at least 48 hours’ notice. Rescheduling is subject to availability.
Piercing Services: Piercing prices include the procedure and standard starter jewelry. Upgraded jewelry is available at additional cost. Payment is due at the time of service.
Pricing: Each tattoo artist at Fattys Tattoos & Piercings is an independent contractor who sets their own pricing. Tattoo pricing is determined by the artist based on factors including design complexity, size, placement, and time required. All pricing is at the artist’s discretion and is communicated before the appointment.
Payment: We accept major credit cards, debit cards, and cash. All services and merchandise must be paid for before they are provided. Payment is due in full at the time of service (less any deposit already applied). Tips are appreciated but not required.
5. Body Jewelry Sales
All body jewelry sales are final. We cannot accept returns or exchanges on body jewelry for health and safety reasons. All jewelry sold at Fattys Tattoos & Piercings is implant-grade and comes with a lifetime guarantee against manufacturer defects. This guarantee covers replacement of the jewelry item only and does not cover loss, damage, or normal wear.
6. Health, Safety, and Assumption of Risk
Tattooing and body piercing are invasive procedures that carry inherent risks, including but not limited to: pain, swelling, bruising, bleeding, allergic reactions, scarring, infection, nerve damage, keloid formation, and migration or rejection of jewelry.
By receiving services from Fattys Tattoos & Piercings, you acknowledge that you have been informed of these risks, that you voluntarily consent to the procedure, that you have disclosed any medical conditions, allergies, medications, or other health information that may affect the procedure or healing, that you are not under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and that you understand that results may vary and that the final appearance of tattoos and piercings may differ from reference images or expectations.
Pre-Existing Health Conditions: Certain pre-existing health conditions may affect your eligibility for body art services or require additional precautions. These include, but are not limited to: epilepsy, hemophilia or other bleeding disorders, heart conditions, use of blood-thinning medications, pregnancy or nursing, and diabetes. If you have any of these conditions, you may be required to provide written, signed approval from your physician confirming that it is safe for you to receive body art services before your appointment can proceed. We reserve the right to decline service if we believe a client’s health or safety could be compromised by the procedure.
You are solely responsible for following aftercare instructions provided by your artist. Failure to follow aftercare instructions may result in complications for which we are not liable.
7. Aftercare Responsibility
Proper aftercare is essential for healing and the long-term appearance of your tattoo or piercing. Written aftercare instructions are provided at the time of service and are available on our website. You agree to follow these instructions and to contact us or seek medical attention if you experience signs of infection or adverse reaction. We are not responsible for complications resulting from failure to follow aftercare instructions, exposure to unsanitary conditions after the procedure, interference with the healing process (including premature removal or changing of jewelry), use of aftercare products not recommended by your artist, or pre-existing medical conditions that affect healing.
8. Photography and Portfolio
We may request to photograph completed tattoo and piercing work for our portfolio, website, and social media. Your consent is voluntary. By consenting, you grant Sacred Mask LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use the photographs for promotional and portfolio purposes. You may revoke consent and request image removal at any time by contacting us.
9. Gift Cards
Gift cards purchased from Fattys Tattoos & Piercings do not expire and have no service fees. Gift cards are redeemable for services and products at any of our three locations. Gift cards cannot be redeemed for cash (except where required by law). Lost or stolen gift cards will not be replaced unless proof of purchase is provided.
10. Independent Contractors
Tattoo artists at Fattys Tattoos & Piercings operate as independent contractors. Each artist maintains their own portfolio, sets their own pricing, and manages their own schedule. While all artists work within the standards and policies of the Fattys Tattoos & Piercings brand, they are not employees of Sacred Mask LLC or of the entity that operates the location where they work.
11. Intellectual Property
All content on this website — including text, images, graphics, logos, and design elements — is the property of Sacred Mask LLC or its content creators and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Custom tattoo designs created by our artists are the intellectual property of the respective artist. You may not reproduce, distribute, or use our website content or tattoo designs without written permission.

14. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sacred Mask LLC, the operators of each shop location, and their respective owners, officers, employees, and independent contractors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of our website or services. The total liability of any entity for any claim arising out of these Terms or our services shall not exceed the amount you paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

Claims related to in-person services should be directed to the operator of the location where the service was provided.

16. Dispute Resolution
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or our services shall first be addressed through good-faith informal negotiation. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally within 30 days, either party may pursue resolution through binding arbitration administered under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, with the arbitration held in Montgomery County, Maryland. You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted on an individual basis and not as part of a class, consolidated, or representative action.
17. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflict of law principles. For any disputes not subject to arbitration, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Maryland.
