Tattoo consent form

I declare that I am requesting the tattoo of my own free will and that I am aware of all the risks associated with the procedure.

I acknowledge that I have chosen the tattoo design and am satisfied with its appearance and location on my body.

I understand that there are potential risks and complications associated with the tattoo process, including but not limited to infections, allergies, unwanted scars, and adverse reactions to ink.

I commit to following all post-tattoo care instructions provided by the tattoo artist to avoid complications and promote proper healing.

I understand that tattoo removal is an expensive and not always successful process. I am aware that the tattoo is permanent unless I choose additional removal procedures.

I declare that I am of legal age to receive a tattoo, and I will provide proof of age if necessary.

I confirm that I am not under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the tattoo, as this may negatively affect the procedure and healing.

I acknowledge that the Ink Society Collective tattoo studio cannot be held responsible for any adverse reactions, unsatisfactory results, or complications that may occur after the procedure.

I agree that the Ink Society Collective tattoo studio may take photographs of my tattoo before and after the procedure for record and promotional purposes.

I authorize the Ink Society Collective tattoo studio, as well as its representatives, to record, capture, and use my image and likeness taken during the tattoo session. These materials may be used for promotional and marketing purposes, including publication on social media, the studio's website, and other related digital or printed media. I waive any right to compensation or further approval for the use of such materials, provided they are used in a respectful and professional manner, exclusively for the promotion of the studio and its work.

I understand that the premises have a camera system for my own safety and the safety of the professional.

I understand that every skin tone produces a different result, especially with colour tattoos, and that my tattoo may not look exactly like reference images or tattoos on other people.

I understand that once the tattoo procedure has begun, materials have been used and the artist's time has been committed, the price of the tattoo is final. I will not request a refund for any reason, including dissatisfaction with pain, a change of mind, or aftercare results affected by my own non-compliance with care instructions.

I understand that my deposit compensates the artist for time spent designing and preparing for my appointment. If I cancel, fail to appear, or withdraw from the tattoo for any reason, the deposit is non-refundable, in line with the studio's published deposit policy.

I understand that Ink Society Collective does not apply numbing cream during the tattoo procedure. I confirm I have not applied, and will not apply, any numbing product on my own before or during my session without telling my artist in advance, as this can affect skin texture, ink saturation, and healing.

I understand that any complimentary touch-up must be requested within 60 days of my session, and is not guaranteed if fading or loss of ink is caused by sun exposure, picking, or not following the aftercare instructions provided.

I understand that Ink Society Collective may refuse or stop a session at the artist's discretion if I appear intoxicated, cannot provide valid proof of age, or request a design that infringes someone else's copyright or trademark.

I confirm that the medical history I have provided is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge, and I understand that the studio is not liable for complications arising from a condition I failed to disclose.

I understand this agreement is governed by the laws of Ireland, and that if any part of it is found invalid, the remaining terms continue to apply in full.
