    How long will the cast be on my body? It will only be on your body for approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

    What should I wear to my casting session?
    You may choose to have an all natural cast without a bra or wear one if you need a little lift and support or for comfort. We suggest you wear a smooth bra with no lace or texture. We do not recommend a sports bra. Please wear loose fitting leggings or shorts that can be pulled down and that rests below the belly comfortably without pressure to the waistline.

    Will the casting material ruin my garments I choose to wear during the casting process?
    No the material will not ruin your garments. We will protect your clothing.

    Will it hurt at all when the cast is removed?
    We use an all natural organic balm that protects your skin and keeps the material from sticking to your skin and hair. This will be wiped off with a warm wet towel at the end of your session.

    Can I add a family member or partners hand(s) to my belly cast? Absolutely! We loving adding family members. There is an additional fee of $25 per set of hands added or $15 each hand added.

    How do I select a design for my cast if I want one?
    We will work directly with you once your retainer is received. Every belly cast order includes a consultation to discuss design concept, construction and any art design preferences based on your individual style and color choices.
    All agreed upon artwork must be paid in full to begin.

    When I receive my cast will it be ready to hang?
    Yes! Your cast will have a hanging wire installed and includes a hook.

    How long will my cast take before I can receive it?
    In most cases each cast will be returned within two weeks of time or less.

    Do you offer cast repair and or art design if you did not create my cast?
    Yes, however we do require one hundred dollar ($100.00) preparation fee for us to reinforce and prepare your cast for artwork if we did not cast you. If your cast is extremely damaged we may require an additional re-enforcement and repair fee.

    Please contact us so we can answer questions and help you pick your artwork. Once you select your design and pay the artwork fees, you will ship your cast to us and then we will complete the artwork and ship the cast back to you.
    You will be responsible for all shipping fees to the studio and the return shipping.

    What do I need to know if I need to change my appointment?
    Should you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, we kindly ask that you notify us at least 3 days prior to your appointment.
    Any cancellations with less than 24 hr notice or same day no shows will result in the retainer fee to not be applied towards the total bill. In the unfortunate event of an emergency, your retainer will be refunded.

    • Choose from one of our three package options
      Basic, Premiere & Luxury

    • Once a specific package is chosen a retainer fee will be required. This fee will secure your Belly Casting session.

    • Please arrive to the studio 5-10 minuets before your scheduled time to fill out consent forms and pay any remaining balance.
      Before we start your sculpting process I will have you change into your clothing you will wear during the your session. Once you are changed I will apply a lubrication to the area we cast. This will create a barrier protecting your skin for when the cast is removed. The total time it takes to complete your sculpture process will be determined by which package you choose.
      Once your session is complete you will receive warm towel compresses to cleanse and restore your skin.
      You will be ready to redress and go about your day.

    • Your cast will be refined reinforced and ready to hang upon delivery.
      Your cast can take up to two weeks for completion. It may take longer depending on the type of work commissioned.

    We look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
