What should a tattoo consent form include?

Proof of age, contact details, the placement, a health check covering blood disorders, diabetes, pregnancy, allergies and alcohol, and signed acknowledgements that the tattoo is permanent and that aftercare is the client's responsibility. Local licensing rules may add more, so check yours.

Can clients sign it on their phone before they arrive?

Yes. Share the link when the booking is confirmed and the client fills it in and signs with a finger on the screen. The signed response is waiting in your dashboard when they walk in, with their ID photo attached.

How long should a studio keep signed consent forms?

Many studios keep them for several years because of insurance and local health rules, but the right period depends on where you work. Responses stay in your account until you delete them, and you can export them to keep your own copy.

Tattoo Consent Form

Health questions, aftercare acknowledgements and a drawn signature before the needle comes out, kept on file with the client's ID.

About this template

A tattoo consent form protects the client and the studio at the same moment. This one checks age with a date of birth and a photo of ID, asks the health questions that change how an artist works, and records a drawn signature against clear statements about permanence, aftercare and deposits.

The health checklist is written so a client can answer honestly without feeling ruled out. Blood thinners, diabetes, pregnancy and alcohol in the last day are all things an artist needs to know before starting, and none of them should be buried in small print.

Swap the acknowledgement wording for your studio's own terms, set your deposit policy, and add a field for the design reference if clients send artwork ahead of the appointment.

Templates are a starting point, not legal or professional advice. Where a form carries consent, medical, or contractual wording, have somebody qualified review it against the rules that apply to you before you publish.
