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 come with risks and possible complications. You will be given aftercare instructions after your appointment to help you minimize the effects.

It is normal for tattooing to be associated with pain, redness and swelling. If these symptoms worsen during the healing process, it could be a sign of an infection and you should see a doctor.

Some complications may be related to your health situation. It is important for your safety that the tattoo artist is informed of this. Additional precautions may be necessary.

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

If in doubt, treatment should be postponed and medical advice should be sought.

• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding;

• If you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
