MTA Gift Voucher Funding & Eligibility

At NMR Tattoo, we are proud to support breast cancer survivors, individuals affected by BRCA, and those in the transgender/non-binary community through the Mastectomy Tattooing Alliance (MTA) Gift Voucher Scheme. This initiative helps individuals in their healing journey by providing access to life-changing tattoos at a reduced cost.

Eligibility and applying for MTA Funded Tattoos

To be eligible for an MTA-funded tattoo, please submit a request to the mastectomytattooingalliance.org

MTA Voucher System (Effective April 1st, 2025)

Starting April 1st, 2025, all MTA charity clients will be issued an MTA Gift Voucher to contribute to the cost of their tattoo session. Clients will be required to pay the remaining balance out-of-pocket. We will provide you with the necessary paperwork to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement of these additional out-of-pocket expenses.

Example:
If your MTA voucher covers $100 for your second session, you will pay $100 out-of-pocket. This amount can be submitted to your insurance for potential reimbursement.

This voucher system is a reduced price as part of our collaboration with the MTA, helping to support the community while ensuring the necessary supplies for your tattoo are covered.

Areola Tattoos

MTA Gift Vouchers will be issued on a ‘per treatment’ basis for the following tattoo treatments and amounts:

  • 3D Areola Tattoo (Double): $350.00 USD

  • 3D Areola Tattoo (Single): $250.00 USD

  • Follow-up (Double): $100.00 USD

  • Follow-up (Single): $50.00 USD

Clients will be asked to match the amount covered by the MTA voucher for the out-of-pocket payment. For example, if your voucher covers $350 for a double areola tattoo, you will need to pay the remaining balance of $350 out-of-pocket.

Consultation Fee

A $50 consultation fee is required when booking your MTA consultation. This fee will be credited towards your tattoo deposit for the first session if you choose to move forward with the tattoo. The consultation fee covers the time and expertise needed to create a personalized tattoo plan.

Scheduling MTA Tattoo Dates

MTA-funded tattoos are scheduled on designated dates each month. If you need to reschedule or cancel your tattoo, you will need to select the next available designated date. Normal business hours cannot be used for rescheduling MTA tattoos. A waiting list may apply if no available dates are found.

Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy

  • 72 Hours Notice: You must provide a minimum of 72 hours' notice to reschedule or cancel your MTA appointment in order to keep your voucher valid.

  • Voucher Reissue: If you reschedule within the 72-hour window, a new voucher will be issued. However, if you reschedule more than once, your voucher will be canceled and no longer eligible for reissue.

  • No Shows & Cancellations Without Notice: If you miss your appointment or cancel without 72 hours' notice, your voucher will be canceled and will not be eligible for reissue.

  • Emergency Situations: In the case of an emergency, your situation will be reviewed and a decision will be made jointly by your artist and the MTA.

MTA Client Disclaimer

  • By booking your MTA-funded tattoo, you grant permission for your artist to take photos and share your images with the MTA for educational and promotional purposes to help raise awareness of the MTA’s mission and services.

  • The MTA will maintain your confidentiality unless you give explicit permission to share your details.

  • The MTA is not responsible for the tattoo services provided by the artist, and a MTA consent form will be provided on the day of your tattoo service.

MTA Gift Voucher System

  • Voucher Issuance: MTA Gift Vouchers are free of charge and will be emailed to you once your tattoo appointment is confirmed.

  • Voucher Limitations: The voucher can only be used with the artist named on the voucher and must be redeemed on the scheduled appointment date. It cannot be transferred, exchanged for cash, or refunded.

  • One Voucher Per Appointment: You can use only one voucher per appointment.

  • Remaining Balance: If the voucher covers only part of the cost of your tattoo, you will be required to pay the remaining balance directly to the artist. This remaining balance is non-refundable.

  • Insurance Reimbursement: We will provide you with the necessary paperwork, which you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement of the out-of-pocket expenses you pay after the MTA voucher is applied.

If you have any questions or need assistance with the application form, booking process, or insurance reimbursement, feel free to reach out. We’re here to support you through every step of your tattoo journey.
