Tattoo Consent & Release Waiver

I confirm that I meet the minimum age required by applicable law to receive this tattoo. I understand that valid government issued identification may be required and that the studio may refuse service if my age or identity cannot be verified.

I agree to provide truthful and complete information, follow the artist’s instructions before, during, and after the procedure, remain still and communicate promptly if I feel unwell or need a pause, and treat studio staff respectfully. I will not attend or receive a tattoo while impaired by alcohol or drugs, and I understand the studio may refuse or stop service if I appear impaired, behave unsafely, or cannot provide informed consent. I will disclose relevant health conditions, medications, allergies, skin concerns, and prior reactions before the procedure. I will follow the written aftercare instructions and seek appropriate medical advice if I develop signs of infection or another concerning reaction.

I voluntarily request the tattoo described above and understand that tattooing involves needles, skin penetration, and the placement of pigment in the skin. Risks may include pain, bleeding, swelling, bruising, infection, allergic or other skin reactions, scarring, pigment migration or fading, unsatisfactory appearance, and the need for touch-ups or removal. I understand that no particular artistic or healing result is guaranteed. I have had the opportunity to ask questions, received answers I consider satisfactory, and consent to the procedure. I accept the ordinary and inherent risks of tattooing, subject to rights that cannot legally be waived.

I have disclosed any condition or circumstance that could affect tattooing or healing, including allergies or sensitivities, skin conditions or infection at or near the tattoo site, bleeding or clotting disorders, immune-system conditions, diabetes, pregnancy or nursing, relevant medications (including blood thinners), and prior fainting or adverse reactions. I understand the studio does not diagnose or provide medical advice. If I am unsure whether tattooing is appropriate for me, I will consult a qualified healthcare professional before proceeding. The studio may postpone or decline the procedure when it reasonably believes service may be unsafe.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, I release the tattoo artist and studio, including their owners and employees, from claims arising from the ordinary and inherent risks of the tattoo procedure or my failure to follow aftercare instructions. This release does not waive claims or responsibilities that cannot legally be waived, including liability for negligence where such a waiver is prohibited, or for intentional misconduct. Nothing in this form limits any non-waivable consumer or statutory rights.

I acknowledge that I have received or will receive written aftercare instructions and agree to follow them. I understand that proper aftercare is important, that healing varies, and that I should contact a healthcare professional for medical concerns. I will contact the artist about questions regarding the tattoo’s appearance or the studio’s aftercare guidance, without treating the studio as a substitute for medical care.

I confirm that I have read and understood this form, had the opportunity to ask questions, and am signing voluntarily. I understand that this form does not guarantee a particular result and that I may ask the artist to pause or stop the procedure. I understand the artist may stop or decline service when necessary for safety or legal compliance.
