Tat2Portal
Universal Tattoo and Body Piercing Procedure Consent
Form Version: T2P-CONSENT-V6 — [Effective Date TBD]
1. What This Is
This form confirms that you understand the risks of receiving a tattoo, body piercing, or related body art procedure and that you are choosing to move forward of your own free will. It is not a procedure-specific consent — it is a platform-level agreement that governs your participation as a client member of the Tat2Portal network for 365 days from the date of acknowledgement.
Tat2Portal connects clients with independent professional members. Tat2Portal is not a tattoo or piercing provider and is not a party to any procedure performed by an independent professional. All services are agreed upon and performed exclusively between the client member and the professional member.
If you are acknowledging this form on behalf of a minor dependent, refer to the Minor Dependent Addendum, which governs dependent participation and applies in addition to this form.
2. Risk Acknowledgement
I acknowledge that I have been given the full opportunity to ask any questions I may have about obtaining a tattoo or body piercing, and that all of my questions have been answered to my satisfaction.
I acknowledge that it is not reasonably possible for my Professional to determine whether I might have an allergic reaction to the pigments, materials, or processes used. I agree to accept the risk that such a reaction is possible.
I acknowledge that infection is always a possibility following a tattoo or body piercing, particularly if I do not follow proper aftercare instructions. I understand that all possible risks cannot be fully enumerated, and I agree to accept all risks — including unforeseeable risks — arising from my decision to receive body art services through a professional member of the Tat2Portal network.
3. Tattoo-Specific Disclosures
I understand that variations in color and design may exist between the tattoo as selected and as ultimately applied to my body. I understand that on darker skin tones, colors may appear less vivid than on lighter skin tones.
I understand that future skin treatments, laser hair removal, plastic surgery, or other skin-altering procedures may result in adverse changes to my tattoo.
I acknowledge that a tattoo is a permanent change to my appearance and that no representations have been made to me regarding the ability to later change, alter, or remove it.
I accept full responsibility for the spelling of any proper names, words, quotes, or lettering in any language requested for my tattoo. I agree to provide accurate spelling and to carefully proof read all text before the tattoo is applied.
4. Conduct and Commitment
I agree not to attend appointments under the influence of alcohol or drugs. I understand that the independent professional retains full discretion to decline to perform services if they determine that my condition presents a risk.
I have truthfully represented to my Professional that receiving this service is my choice alone. I confirm that I do not have a physical, mental, or medical condition that I have failed to disclose that might affect my wellbeing as a result of receiving a tattoo or body piercing. My complete medical history has been provided separately through the required Medical Questionnaire.
5. Aftercare
I confirm that I have received aftercare instructions and agree to follow them throughout the healing process. I understand that any touch-up work required due to my own failure to follow aftercare instructions will be at my own expense. Touch-up terms, including any complimentary touch-up policy, are agreed upon between the client and the Professional. Tat2Portal is not involved in any aspect of procedures or touch-up arrangements.
6. Intellectual Property
I agree that the original tattoo design is the intellectual property of the Professional. I consent to the application of the procedure and to any actions or conduct of the Professional reasonably necessary to perform it.
7. Photo and Video Release
I grant the Professional member permission to photograph and/or record video of the work performed and, where applicable, my likeness, in connection with services received through the Tat2Portal network. This permission covers use for portfolio display, promotion, advertisement, education, instructional purposes, and commercial or institutional use in any medium, including the internet and any print or electronic format.
I acknowledge that photographs and videos of work performed by the Professional are the property of the Professional. I will make no monetary or other claim against the Professional or Tat2Portal for the use of any photograph or video acquired in connection with services I received.
I agree, on behalf of myself and my heirs, assigns, and legal representatives, to hold the Professional and Tat2Portal harmless from all damages, claims, actions, judgments, litigation costs, attorneys’ fees, and all other costs and expenses arising from any use of my likeness or any photograph or video acquired by or used by the Professional in connection with services performed through the Tat2Portal network.
This photo and video release is a mandatory component of this consent agreement and applies for the full 365-day term.
8. Cancellation and Fees
If I choose not to proceed with a scheduled tattoo or piercing appointment, I understand that I may be responsible for fees determined by the Professional. These may include fees for intellectual property developed at my request, opened or unused equipment, restocking costs, or loss of deposit. All such fees are set and governed by the Professional, not by Tat2Portal.
9. Location, Records, and Compliance
Services performed through the Tat2Portal network take place at a licensed tattoo or piercing studio associated with the session. Each session record captures the professional member, the client member, the date of service, the licensed tattoo or piercing studio, the materials used, and the consent packet connected to that session.
10. Liability Waiver and Hold Harmless
I agree not to bring any claim or legal action against Tat2Portal, any professional member of the network, or any licensed tattoo or piercing studio associated with a session in connection with any damages, injury, or loss — including death — arising from my decision to receive tattoo or body piercing services at any time, whether or not caused by any negligence of Tat2Portal, its members, or its representatives.
I agree, on behalf of myself and my heirs, assigns, and legal representatives, to hold Tat2Portal, its members, its representatives, and the licensed tattoo or piercing studio associated with any session harmless from all damages, claims, actions, judgments, litigation costs, attorneys’ fees, and all other costs and expenses arising from my decision to receive body art services through a professional member of the Tat2Portal network.
These waivers are intended to protect Tat2Portal, all professional members, and all licensed tattoo or piercing studios associated with sessions conducted through the Tat2Portal network.
11. Binding Agreement
By acknowledging this form, I confirm that the information I have provided is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I understand that this is a binding agreement and that I will be bound to its terms for 365 days from the date of acknowledgement. This form must be completed in full in order to participate as a client member of Tat2Portal.
