SMALL TATTOO (FINE LINE TATTOO) CONSENT FORM
In consideration of receiving a tattoo from The Wink Lab LLC, including its artists, associates, apprentices, agents, or any employees, I, hereby acknowledge that I have been fully informed of the inherent risks associated with getting a tattoo. I fully understand that these risks, known and unknown, can lead to injury including but not limited to: infection, scarring, difficulties in the detection of melanoma, and allergic reactions to tattoo pigment, latex gloves, and/or soap. Having been informed of the potential risks associated with getting a tattoo, I wish to proceed with the tattoo procedure and application and freely accept and expressly assume any and all risks that may arise from tattooing.
I WAIVE AND RELEASE to the fullest extent permitted by law any person of The Wink Lab LLC from all liability whatsoever, including but not limited to, any and all claims or causes of action that I, my estate, heirs, executors, or assigns may have for personal injury or otherwise, including any direct and/or consequential damages, which result or arise from the procedure and application of my tattoo, whether caused by the negligence or fault of The Wink Lab LLC, or otherwise.
The Wink Lab LLC has given me the full opportunity to ask any questions about the procedure and application of my tattoo, and all of my questions, if any, have been answered to my total satisfaction. The Wink Lab LLC has given me instructions on the care of my tattoo while it's healing. I understand and will follow them. I acknowledge that it is possible that the tattoo can become infected, particularly if I do not follow the instructions given to me. If any touch-up work to the tattoo is needed due to my own negligence, I agree that the work will be done at my own expense.
I am not under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and I am voluntarily submitting to be tattooed by The Wink Lab LLC without duress or coercion. I do not suffer from diabetes, epilepsy, hemophilia, heart condition(s), nor do I take blood-thinning medication. I do not have any other medical or skin condition that may interfere with the procedure, application, or healing of the tattoo. I am not the recipient of an organ or bone marrow transplant, or if I am, I have taken the prescribed preventive regimen of antibiotics that is required by my doctor in advance of any invasive procedure such as tattooing or piercing. I am not pregnant or nursing. I do not have a mental impairment that may affect my judgment in getting the tattoo.
The Wink Lab LLC is not responsible for the meaning or spelling of the symbol or text that I have provided to them or chosen from the flash (design) sheets. Variations in color and design may exist between the tattoo art I have selected and the actual tattoo when it is applied to my body. I also understand that over time, the colors and the clarity of my tattoo will fade due to unprotected exposure to the sun and the naturally occurring dispersion of pigment under the skin.
A tattoo is a permanent change to my appearance and can only be removed by laser or surgical means, which can be disfiguring and/or costly and which in all likelihood will not result in the restoration of my skin to its exact appearance before being tattooed.
I acknowledge that perfect color saturation cannot be guaranteed due to possible hidden scar tissue. I will inform all skincare professionals and medical personnel about my tattoo procedure, especially if I undergo an MRI. I take full responsibility for communicating my desired design, placement, and any specific details related to the procedure. I understand that implanted pigment may fade or slightly change over time due to factors beyond my technician’s control and that I may need a touch-up session within a certain timeframe for maintenance.
I release the right to any photographs taken of me and the tattoo and give consent in advance to their reproduction in print or electronic form. (For assurance, if you do not initial this provision, please inform The Wink Lab LLC NOT to take any pictures of you and your completed tattoo).
I agree that The Wink Lab LLC has a NO REFUND policy on tattoos, piercing, and/or retail sales, and I will not ask for a refund for any reason whatsoever. I agree to reimburse The Wink Lab LLC for any attorneys' fees and costs incurred in any legal action I bring against The Wink Lab LLC and in which either the artist of The Wink Lab LLC is the prevailing party. I agree that the courts located in the County of Chester, within the State of Pennsylvania, shall have jurisdiction and venue over me and shall have exclusive jurisdiction for the purposes of litigating any dispute arising out of or related to this agreement.
I acknowledge that I have been given adequate opportunity to read and understand this document, that it was not presented to me at the last minute, and grasp that I am signing a legal contract waiving certain rights to recover damages against The Wink Lab LLC. If any provision, section, subsection, clause, or phrase of this release is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that portion shall be severed from this contract. The remainder of this contract will then be construed as though the unenforceable portion had never been contained in this document.
I hereby declare that I am of legal age (and have provided valid proof of age and identification) and am competent to sign this Agreement. I HAVE READ THE AGREEMENT, I UNDERSTAND IT, AND I AGREE TO BE BOUND BY IT.
Fine Line Tattoo Aftercare Instructions
Keep the bandage on for 2-3 hours after your session. This protects your tattoo from bacteria and external irritants.
Gently wash your tattoo with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.
Apply a thin layer of recommended aftercare ointment or fragrance-free lotion to keep the tattoo moisturized.
Avoid soaking the tattoo in water (baths, pools, hot tubs) for at least 2 weeks.
Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds. Once healed, always use sunscreen to prevent fading.
Do not scratch or pick at the tattoo as this can cause scarring and uneven healing.
Wear loose, breathable clothing to prevent irritation and allow the tattoo to heal properly.
Expect slight peeling and itching—this is normal. Continue applying moisturizer as needed.
Contact your artist if you notice excessive redness, swelling, or signs of infection.
Following these steps will help ensure your tattoo heals beautifully and maintains its fine line detail.
