Privacy & Your Designs

What we collect

When you send a message through the contact page we receive your name, email address, and — if you choose to give them — your phone number and the tattoo idea and placement you're interested in. When you join the books-open list we receive your email address only.

Why we use it

We use those details to answer your question, arrange a sitting, and send the books-open email you asked for. We don't sell or rent your details, and we don't add you to any list you didn't sign up for.

How long we keep it

Enquiries are kept for as long as we need them to help you, and no longer than two years after our last conversation. You stay on the email list until you unsubscribe using the link in any email.

Who else sees it

Only the Violet Hour Tattoo team and the service providers that host this website and deliver our email. If you choose a payment plan, your details go to the payment provider only with your permission. Your sketches and stencils are shared with you alone, and no tattoo is shown publicly without your signed consent.

Your choices

You can ask to see, correct, or delete what we hold about you at any time. Email [email protected] or call (000) 000-0000 and an artist will take care of it.

Cookies

This site doesn't use advertising or tracking cookies. Its two typefaces, Fraunces and Nunito Sans, are served from this website's own files, so no font request goes to a third party.
