point 7 permission

7. Information for the client on the consent form

Please read the following information carefully and inform the tattoo artist if you have any doubts about your suitability to be tattooed.

Tattooing and the healing process can involve risks and possible complications, as explained to you. You will receive aftercare instructions to help minimize the effects.

It is normal for tattooing to cause pain, redness, and swelling. If these symptoms worsen during the healing process, it may be a sign of infection, and you should consult a doctor.

Some complications may be related to your health condition. It is important for your safety that the tattoo artist is informed about it. Additional precautions may be necessary.

Tattoos are permanent, and depending on the ink used, they may not be easily removed.

In case of doubt, the treatment should be postponed, and medical advice should be sought.

Do not get a tattoo if:
• you are pregnant or breastfeeding;
• you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
• on a birthmark or a scar that remains after the removal of a melanoma.

The following circumstances or conditions may pose a higher risk of complications:
1) Skin:
a) skin infection regardless of the location and type of infection
b) allergies (indicate if you have any allergies, for example, latex allergy, allergies to metals, and preservatives)
c) areas of the skin that appear damaged or abnormal, including moles
d) any active skin diseases (e.g., eczema, psoriasis)
e) areas of the skin that have undergone plastic surgery or radiotherapy, including recent scars and keloids (according to medical advice)
f) a previously tattooed area that has not fully healed
g) an area where a tattoo has recently been lasered or removed by another method if the wound has not healed yet

2) General conditions:
a) hemophilia or any other bleeding disorder
b) epilepsy, heart, and vascular diseases
c) known allergies (e.g., latex allergy)
d) diabetes
e) an autoimmune disease
f) immunosuppression and conditions with compromised immune systems
g) sarcoidosis

If any of the above circumstances or conditions apply to you, and you still wish to get a tattoo, consult your doctor first and seek advice.
