I am 18 or over and I have shown photo identification today.

I understand a tattoo is permanent, and that removal is expensive, painful and rarely complete.

I have seen the design and agreed the placement, and both are what I asked for.

I understand that color settles differently on every skin, and that a healed tattoo does not look like a fresh one.

I have asked what a touch-up would cost and when one is included.

I understand that infection is a risk, that the aftercare is mine to follow, and that I have been given an aftercare sheet.

I am not under the influence of alcohol or drugs today.

I have answered the health questions above honestly and in full.

I understand the deposit and payment terms, and that work already done is not refundable.

Photographs

The studio may photograph the finished tattoo and use those photographs in its portfolio and on social media. Leave this unchecked and the work stays private.

Build this as a waiver in tats.to and your client fills it in on their phone the night before. It comes back signed, timestamped, and filed against the appointment instead of sitting in a drawer.
