Tattoo and piercing studios
Tattoo consent, signed before the machine goes on.
A walk-in at four on a Saturday wants a piece the artist can do in an hour. Between the deposit and the stencil are a consent form, a health questionnaire and aftercare.
Where it goes wrong
Not a feature list. These are the three moments this exists for.
The stack every client fills in on a clipboard
Consent, health history, identification, aftercare. Four pages that a client works through standing up at a counter while the artist waits, every single time, and half the handwriting is unreadable afterwards.
The health question nobody answered honestly
Blood thinners, diabetes, a skin condition at the site, a pregnancy. Asked on paper, answered in a hurry, and discovered halfway through.
The health inspector who wants three years of consents
Your authority sets how long these are kept and a box in a back room is compliance only until somebody asks you to produce one particular client from a particular Tuesday.
What happens instead
Sent with the deposit, done before they arrive
The client gets the link when they book. The consent and the health questions are finished on their sofa, and the studio sees the answers before the artist starts drawing.
The walk-in signs on their own phone
A QR in the waiting area rather than a clipboard on a counter. Same documents, same record, no handwriting to decipher.
Kept for exactly as long as it should be
The retention schedule you set is what the engine does, and a client record is deleted when it is due rather than when somebody remembers the back room exists.
Two documents, in your account the moment you name your trade
Setup asks what you do. Answer "tattoo and piercing studios" and these are waiting as drafts, in your words, with the blanks marked and the points a lawyer settles flagged for one. Edit them, or paste what you already use.
Tattoo and Piercing Consent
A starter, not legal advice: the wording is yours to change and your attorney's to check. A note left in the text holds the document at send until somebody has.
Aftercare and Photo Acknowledgment
A starter, not legal advice: the wording is yours to change and your attorney's to check. A note left in the text holds the document at send until somebody has.
Documents this trade sends
Written from the document's side rather than the trade's, for when you know the form you are short of.
This is a consent form, not a medical record
A body art consent sits under a health authority's rules that differ by county, let alone by state — the minimum age, what identification must be inspected and recorded, how long a consent is kept, what must be on it. The starter marks all of that for an attorney or your local inspector. We are not a medical records system, and nothing here should be described as clinical informed consent.

Questions
Can we check identification through this?
The client acknowledges they have shown identification and the studio records that it was inspected. If you want the document photograph itself attached, the ID Evidence add-on captures and encrypts one and keeps it for thirty days. It is evidence that a document was presented, not a verification that it is genuine, and we will never call it one.
What about clients who are not old enough?
The consent asks and records the answer, and the minimum age and whether a guardian may consent at all are set where you operate. The starter marks that question rather than answering it for you.
Can the photo permission be separate from the consent?
Yes, and it should be. Whether you may photograph and post the work is a different decision from whether the client consents to the procedure, and the answer is a field you can read rather than a memory.
