Acknowledgment template

Aftercare and Photo Acknowledgment

What the client was given and agreed to afterwards: the cleaning routine, when to come back, and whether the work may be photographed.

Where this comes from

Not a sample we wrote for this page. This is the document the product puts in your account, as a draft, the moment you say what you do.

Written for your trade

Name your trade during setup — tattoo and piercing studios — and this is waiting for you, already written, in your words, with the blanks marked and the points a lawyer settles flagged for one. Edit it, or paste in what you already use.

It is a starting point and not legal advice: the wording is yours to change and your attorney's to check.

How it reaches your account

  1. Say what you do. Pick your trade when you set up; nothing to find or download.
  2. It is there as a draft. The 10 blanks marked, and 1 point flagged for a lawyer.
  3. Settle the notes, then send. The product will not send it with a note still in it.

How this works for tattoo and piercing studios

What it asks you to fill in

Read off the document itself, so this list cannot drift away from what the document actually asks for.

10 blanks in this document

business nameguest nameproceduredateartist namecleaning productsminimum wear periodstudio phonetouch up termsphoto permission

Each one is a box on the send screen, and a value your own system can pass through the API. The rest of the wording is the same for every signer.

How they are filled

  • Once per send, from what you already know.
  • Or from your own system, through the API.
  • Into the document, never into its wording.
  • What somebody signed is the version they were shown.

Page one as the dashboard prints a blank copy: every blank a line, named.

Questions it can ask

Beyond the blanks, a template can ask the signer questions. These come from the product's own question library and suit this document; add them, change them, or write your own.

As the signer sees them
  • You may use photographs of me
  • You may email me about offers
  • I have read and understood this document

Each question is checked where it is answered — a date that is on the calendar, a birthday that is not in the future, an address long enough to be one — in the same words on the signing page, on the counter tablet and in the API, and the signature waits until every required one is done.

  • Sections. Group questions under a heading, and give a section a page of its own.
  • Conditions. Show a question only when an earlier answer calls for it; a hidden question is never asked and never owed.
  • Flags. Put an answer in front of your staff when it needs a person, such as a safety box left unticked.
  • Questions first. Ask them before the document is shown, and the document after.

Everything a template carries →

What a lawyer has to settle

These are the notes already written into the document, not our opinion about the law where you operate. The product refuses to send a document with one still in it, which is the point of them.

SignSealer does not give legal advice and this document is not legal advice. What it does is put the questions in front of you before somebody signs, rather than after.

Check what a right-of-publicity or likeness statute where you operate requires a release to say, and whether a withdrawal has to be honoured for material already published.

The document

The real text, with the blanks shown as blanks and the notes above lifted out so they are read rather than skimmed past.

Aftercare and Photo Acknowledgment

business name — guest name, procedure done on date by artist name.

  1. What I was given. Written aftercare instructions for this procedure, and the chance to ask about them. A copy is attached to this record.
  2. The first two weeks. I will wash my hands before touching the area, follow the cleaning routine I was given with cleaning products, keep the area out of pools, hot tubs, lakes and the sea, keep it out of direct sun or covered, and not pick, scratch or peel it.
  3. Jewellery. If this is a piercing, I will leave the jewellery in for at least minimum wear period and have the studio change it the first time. Changing it early or using unsuitable jewellery is the most common cause of a piercing failing.
  4. When to come back. I will contact the studio on studio phone if the area is hot, increasingly painful after the first days, discharging yellow or green, red in spreading lines, or if I have a fever — and I will see a doctor as well, because the studio cannot treat an infection.
  5. Touch-ups. The studio's touch-up policy is touch up terms. A result affected by aftercare, sun, swimming or picking is not covered by it.
  6. Photographs of the work. Whether business name may photograph the finished work and where it may show it is set here: photo permission. Photographs are of the work, identifiable only as far as the placement makes them so, and a decision to say no changes nothing about the service. I may withdraw this permission in writing, and the studio will stop using new photographs and remove what it reasonably can.
  7. Reviews and reposts. If I post about the work, business name may reshare my public post unless I say otherwise.

By signing I confirm that I have read this, understood it, and meant to sign it.
