Tattoo Indemnity Form

1. A tattoo is a kind of body art where a dye is punctured into the dermis layer of the skin to make artistic designs. This is done either for cultural practices, expressionism, or simply for aesthetic purposes to one's body.
2. A tattoo is a permanent change to the appearance of the skin and it may be difficult to modify or remove the tattoo should I decide so later on.
3. I do not have a medical or skin condition that may interfere or cause undesirable results to my skin in the tattoo area.
4. It is my responsibility to inform the tattoo artist of any condition that I may have such as irritations, scarring, eczema, moles, or any that may interfere with said tattoo.
5. Infection is possible after obtaining a tattoo. I shall ensure that I comply with the recommended standard of care to have better healing of my skin. In this regard, I have received aftercare instructions from the tattoo artist and agree to abide by such instructions.
6. There might be instances of touch-up work needed. In such cases, I shall be responsible for any additional cost for such work.
7. It is not the responsibility of the tattoo artist to do clinical tests on my skin whether my skin is sensitive to materials used for tattooing. In such instances, I accept the risks of such allergic reactions.
8. Colors may vary from presented catalogs or images and such color results may depend on the color of my skin as well. 
9. Any skin treatment over the tattoo area may have adverse effects on my tattoo such as laser treatments, chemical treatments, among others.
10. I grant permission and give my consent to the tattoo artist for the use of photographs and/ or videos taken during my session to be used on social media platforms. 

By signing and submitting this form, I acknowledge that I have been given the opportunity to ask questions with regard to the risks of obtaining a tattoo which have been answered to me to my satisfaction. I acknowledge I am at least eighteen (18) years of age and I have no mental condition. I likewise have no physical condition that might affect my well-being as a result in having a tattoo on my skin. I give my full consent to the application for obtaining a tattoo without influence, coercion, or representation from any person.
