These Terms and Conditions apply when you apply for and book a ritual tattoo session with Telma Leal. Please read them before paying your deposit. By paying the deposit, you accept them.
1. Who we are
The sessions are offered by Telma Filipa Martins Leal (trading as Telma Leal), ID number G048210J, Rua Isidoro Garcez 556, Rio Tavares, 88048-444 Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Email: info@telmaleal.com.
2. The service
The ritual is a one-to-one session that includes smudging, a guided meditation, a cacao ceremony, a reading of the key aspects of your Vedic birth chart, the creation of an exclusive symbolic design, and the tattoo of that design by Telma, all on the same day.
- The session lasts between 4 and 7 hours, depending on the size of the tattoo.
- It takes place at a partner tattoo studio in each city. The address is shown on the page for each city and confirmed when you book.
- The dates of each city, the number of places and the price are shown on the page for that city.
- The ritual is designed for women.
The birth chart reading and the ritual are a spiritual and symbolic experience. They are not medical, psychological, therapeutic or financial advice, and they do not replace professional care.
3. Who can book
- You must be 18 or over and bring a valid photo ID on the day.
- You must be in good health to be tattooed (see section 8).
4. How the booking works
- Application. You fill in the application form on the website and choose a time for a video call with Telma. Applying is free and does not commit you to anything.
- Video call. In a call of about 20 minutes, you get to know each other, ask your questions and look at size and placement. Telma then gives you your personalised quote. Telma decides which applications she accepts and may decline one if she feels the ritual is not right for you at this moment.
- Confirmation. If you both feel it is your ritual, you have 5 days from the call to pay the deposit. If you do not pay it within those 5 days, the quote expires and the place may be offered to another applicant.
- Booking. Your place is booked once the deposit has been paid and Telma has confirmed your booking in writing (by email or WhatsApp). At that moment, the contract between you and Telma begins.
- Day of the ritual. The exact day and time of your session, within the dates of the city, are agreed with Telma during the call.
5. Prices and payment
- The price depends on the size of the tattoo and is shown on the page for each city (for example, in London: €1,150 for 11–20 cm and €1,750 for over 20 cm). It includes everything described in section 2. There are no hidden costs.
- You secure your place with a deposit of €175, which is deducted from the total price.
- The rest of the price is paid at the end of the session, once the ritual and the tattoo are complete.
- Accepted payment methods: card (Visa, Mastercard), Apple Pay, Google Pay and Revolut. The deposit is paid through a secure online payment link.
- Prices are in euros (€). If you pay in another currency, your bank may charge conversion fees.
- Travel, accommodation and any other personal expenses are not included.
6. Changing or cancelling your booking
- The deposit is non-refundable. It reserves a date and a place that are no longer offered to anyone else, and covers the preparation of your design and your birth chart reading.
- Changing your date. You can move your session to another date without losing your deposit if you let Telma know at least 15 days before the agreed date. The new date depends on availability, and the deposit is carried over to it.
- If you cancel, or ask to change the date, less than 15 days before the session, or if you do not come, the deposit is lost.
- If you arrive late, the session may have to be shortened or rescheduled.
This does not affect any rights you may have under the consumer protection laws that apply to you.
7. If Telma has to change or cancel
If Telma cannot hold your session (for example because of illness or circumstances beyond her control), she will let you know as soon as possible and offer you a new date. If the new date does not suit you, your deposit will be refunded in full. Telma is not responsible for travel or accommodation costs you may have paid, so we recommend booking flexible travel.
8. Health and safety
- Before booking, tell Telma if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take blood thinners or medication that affects your skin or healing, have diabetes, a heart condition, epilepsy, allergies (for example to latex or pigments), or any skin condition in the area to be tattooed.
- Cacao: ceremonial cacao contains natural stimulants. Tell Telma if you are pregnant, have a heart condition or high blood pressure, or take antidepressants or other medication. You can always choose to skip the cacao.
- Do not drink alcohol or take drugs in the 24 hours before the session. Come rested and having eaten.
- On the day you will sign a consent form. Telma may refuse to tattoo, or stop the session, if she considers that it is not safe for you. In that case, the parts of the ritual already done will be taken into account.
9. Your design
- Your symbol is created especially for you, from your story, your birth chart reading and the conversation with Telma. Nothing is tattooed until you approve the design.
- Telma does not copy other artists’ work. Reference images are used only as inspiration.
- Telma may refuse a placement or a size if she considers that it will not give a good result.
- Telma keeps the copyright of the design. You may not reproduce it for another tattoo or for commercial purposes without her written permission.
10. Aftercare and results
At the end of the session, Telma will explain the aftercare step by step. How your tattoo heals depends largely on following that aftercare. Each skin is different and the final look may vary slightly. If you have any concern while it heals, contact Telma.
11. Photos and videos
Telma may photograph or film your finished tattoo and moments of the ritual. They will only be published (for example on the website or on Instagram) with your express permission, and you can withdraw that permission at any time.
12. Liability
Telma will provide the service with reasonable care and skill. She is not responsible for problems caused by not following the aftercare instructions, or by health information that was not disclosed before the session. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
13. Personal data
How we handle your personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy.
14. Complaints
If something is not right, write to info@telmaleal.com and Telma will reply as soon as possible to find a solution.
15. Applicable law
These terms are governed by the law of the country where your session takes place. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live, and you can bring a claim in the courts of that country.
