Last updated: November 17, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Shifty Gypsy Tattoo (“Shifty Gypsy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our studio, contact us, or interact with any of our online forms or pages.

1. Who We Are

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

2.1 Information you provide to us

This may include:

Name
Phone number
Email address
Date of birth or age confirmation (to verify you are 18+)
Government-issued identification that we review in person
Appointment requests, design ideas, placement, sizing, and artist preferences
Messages sent via phone, text, email, social media, or contact forms
Signed in-studio waivers, consent forms, and health questionnaires (maintained on paper in the shop)

2.2 Information collected automatically

If we use websites, landing pages, or online booking forms, they may collect certain technical information automatically, such as:

IP address
Browser type and version
Device and operating system information
Pages visited and time spent on our pages

This information may be collected through cookies or similar technologies, often provided by third-party analytics or advertising tools.

2.3 Information from third-party services

We may use third-party providers for things like payment processing, booking, email marketing, and SMS messaging. These providers may collect and process your information in line with their own privacy practices.

For example, we may use Square or similar platforms to process in-person payments, and other providers to send emails, text appointment reminders, or promotional messages.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for purposes such as:

Scheduling and managing appointments
Confirming, reminding, or updating you about your visits
Responding to questions, messages, or inquiries
Processing payments and issuing in-store gift cards
Maintaining required consent, health, and waiver records
Sending promotional messages about specials, events, and shop updates (if you consent)
Improving our services, website, and customer experience
Complying with legal, regulatory, or safety obligations

4. Text Messages, Email, and Marketing

With your consent, we may send:

Appointment reminders and confirmations by text message and/or email
Updates related to your visit or aftercare
Specials, promotions, and event announcements by text message and/or email

Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out of marketing messages at any time by replying STOP to a text, or by clicking “unsubscribe” in an email. You may still receive non-marketing, important transactional messages (such as appointment confirmations) as allowed by law.

Consent is not a condition of purchase or service.

5. Photos, Tattoos, and Social Media

As part of our work, we may take photos of tattoos we create. These images may be used for shop-related purposes such as:

Posting on Shifty Gypsy’s social media accounts
Using on our website, online portfolio, or printed materials
Displaying artwork in the studio or in advertisements

We typically focus on the tattooed area and do not include faces unless the tattoo itself requires it (for example, facial tattoos or context shots).

By receiving services from us, you understand that we may photograph your tattoo and use those images for marketing and promotional purposes, unless you specifically request that we do not. If you do not want your tattoo photographed or posted, please tell your artist or contact the shop, and we will honor that request.

6. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information with:

Service providers such as payment processors, booking platforms, email/SMS providers, IT support, and analytics tools, to help us operate our business.
Legal or regulatory authorities if required to comply with law, regulation, court order, or to protect our rights, safety, or the safety of others.

7. Data Retention

We keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain business records, comply with legal or regulatory obligations, and resolve disputes.

Paper waivers, consent forms, and health questionnaires are stored securely in the shop as part of our required records.

8. Security

We use reasonable physical, administrative, and technical measures to help protect the information we handle. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on local laws, you may have rights to:

Request access to certain information we hold about you
Request updates or corrections to your information
Request deletion of certain information, subject to legal or recordkeeping requirements
Opt out of marketing communications at any time

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] or call (501) 314-2269.

10. Children

Our services are intended for adults. Tattoo regulations generally require clients to be at least 18 years old. If we ever offer services to minors, additional consent and documentation will be required and provided in the studio.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted with an updated “Last updated” date. Your continued use of our services after any changes means you accept the updated policy.
