Write a clear, friendly booking policy for a [UK] tattoo artist. Under 250 words, short headings, plain [British] English.
Use ONLY these rules:
- Deposit: [e.g. £50, comes off the final price]
- Rescheduling: [e.g. 72 hours' notice, deposit carries over once]
- Cancellations and no-shows: [e.g. deposit kept, as it covers drawing time]
- Drawings: [e.g. shown on the day / 48 hours before; small changes included, major redesigns need a new deposit]

- Arrive: [e.g. fed, hydrated, no alcohol beforehand]
