It is advised that a maximum of 25 children can be painted within a 2 hour party booking. If more children are expected, please advise the artist prior to the party, as simplified face or arm designs can be offered instead. If temporary glitter tattoos or balloons are booked, for parties of more than 15 children - each child will have a choice of face paint or glitter tattoos or balloon but not both. For parties of 15 or less - each child will be able to have face paint and glitter tattoo/balloons (applies to 2 hour party bookings).
Please ensure that there is parking available as close to the entrance of the building as possible, since the artist will have to carry heavy equipment in ususally transported in a wagon. Failure to do so may result in the artist not being set up on time. If the event/party is being held outdoors, please ensure the artist has cover. Artist does ask that a space and seating be provided for event, if not available please notify artist 14 days before event. outdoor events require a shaded area a $75 tent rental fee will be applied is shade is not able to be provided.
Face Painting Policy
Face paints are recommended for use on children aged two and over - younger children skin is too sensitive and the immune system still developing - there is also a risk of prompting future allergies. We will not paint full faces on children under three, but a small picture on the hand or leg may done on children aged between two and three, at the parents own risk. We will not paint children less than two years of age under ANY circumstances.
A child cannot be held in restraint or otherwise forced to get their faces painted. This should be a magical experience not a traumatizing one.
The client is responsible for informing parents of attending children that there will be a face painter/temporary glitter tattoo/henna artist at the event, and will advise the artist if there are any children that cannot participate.
We are UNABLE to paint anything which is offensive or illegal, nor will we paint anyone who is intoxicated, violent or abusive. Parents must supervise their children at all times.
Balloon Twisting
Latex balloons are considered to be a MAJOR choking hazard for small children. for this reason our insurance require that we hand ballon sculptures to the supervising adult for all children under 3 years old. DO NOT Allow any child to put balloons in their mouth.

Liability Statement: Artist is not liable for any parties’ allergic reactions to paints. Only FDA compliant paints and cosmetic grade glitters are used for face painting.

Tent: We have a 10’x10’ weighted tent that the client may reserve for my set up at outdoor events for a $75.00 fee in the event that shade or a covered area is not provided.
Working Area: If the event is outdoors, Performers need solid level ground. ( hills, ditches, sand, gravel are not suitable to support entertainer setup) the Client agrees to provide a covered, area that is a minimum of 6ft by 6ft or 10ft X10 ft if tent needs to be setup. The Client understands that we will not paint, tattoo, or twist without shaded area to work from to protect our products, equipment, and personal saftey. If conditions require that artist needs own shade protection the client agrees to pay the $75.00 tent fee and understands that the time we spend setting up/taking down the tent is billable at our hourly rate. To avoid the additional billable hours, please call ahead if you are unsure if your area is suitable.
