I agree to my treatment been carried out by Kate Purves. I understand that the tattooing is an art process and not an exact science and each client heals differently. I understand that this is an elective procedure that is not medically necessary. I have undergone or been offered an allergy patch test prior to my treatment and thereby release the technician from any liability related to any allergic reaction or secondary reaction to the inks or other applied products used during the procedure or at a later date. Inks used are usually comprised of Carbon Black (.C.I. Number 77266), Isopropyl Alcohol, Acrylic Polymer, Water. All needles and machine parts are individually wrapped, sterile and will be disposed of after each treatment. I accept that whilst in the treatment room all universal precautions have been taken, but my risk of infection begins as soon as I leave the treatment room. I confirm I will agree all colours, positioning and artistic design of my tattoo, prior to any work commencing. I agree to before and after photos been taken. These photographs will be stored on my file and will not be used for any other purposes unless I have agreed. Possible risks include: Scarring, blood poisoning (Septicaemia), localised infection, allergic reaction to pigment/ink, localised swelling around the site. I accept these risks and I have had chance to discuss them with my technician. I accept that after the treatment the area treated may show some signs of redness, swelling and in rare cases bruising. I accept some discomfort. A written or digital aftercare advice sheet containing more detailed information has been given to me and I agree that it is my responsibility to read this and follow the instructions on it, until the site has healed. I confirm that I will strictly adhere to the aftercare advice given to me, and only apply aftercare products recommended to the area. I accept that if the aftercare instructions are not followed this could lead to complication in the healing and outcome of my tattoo. If post treatment I develop any signs of infection I will immediately visit my GP for treatment, and accept this as a possible due to the fact I do not live in completely sterile conditions. If I have any concerns I will contact my technician to discuss. I declare that I give my full consent to the tattooing being carried out by the aforementioned practitioner. I confirm that potential complications, e.g. infection and swelling, for the procedure undertaken, and aftercare instructions have been explained to me. I fully understand that the ink used is a permanent ink and will stay in the skin indefinitely. I understand that the ink may fade, especially if exposed to sunbeds and UV light. I fully understand that any laser treatment , further surgery or application of a tattoo by another technician in the area of the tattoo, may alter my tattoo, and I do not hold my technician responsible.
