I acknowledge I have been advised of the facts and matters set forth below and I agree as follows:

- I am not pregnant or nursing. I am not under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- If I have used numbing products before my appointment, I will inform my artist before we begin the procedure. I understand that numbing agents can cause allergic reactions, and can affect the healing process of my tattoo negatively for which the artist is not responsible.
- If I am getting a text tattoo, I am responsible for ensuring that the spelling is correct. My artist is no liable for any spelling errors. This also applies to roman numerals.

- I acknowledge that infection is always possible as a result of the obtaining of a tattoo, particularly in the event that I do not take proper care of my tattoo. I agree to follow aftercare instructions while my tattoo is healing.
- I realize that variations in color and design may exist between any tattoo as selected by me and as ultimately applied to my body.
- I understand that if I have any skin treatments, laser hair removal, cosmetic surgery or other skin altering procedures, it may result in changes to my tattoo.
- I acknowledge that a tattoo is a permanent change to my appearance and do not hold my tattooer liable for or of the ability to later change or remove my tattoo.

- If my tattoo is in need of a (free) touch up, I will inform my artist within 6 weeks of when the appointment took place. I understand that if I do not meet this time frame, a minimum payment of £70 will be required.
- If the healing of my tattoo is affected by my own actions (e.g., going swimming before it is healed), then I am liable to pay for reworking or touching up the tattoo.
- If I am to get a tattoo on my face, neck, or hands, I understand the social implications of this, and have given thorough consideration to the placement of the tattoo.
