Item 7 Consent
7. Information for the client with the consent form
Please read the following information carefully and inform the tattoo artist if you have any doubts about your suitability for getting a tattoo.
Tattooing and the healing process can be associated with risks and possible complications, as explained to you. You will receive aftercare instructions to help minimize the effects.
It is normal for tattooing to involve pain, redness, and swelling. If these symptoms worsen during the healing process, this could be a sign of infection and you should consult 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, it is possible that they cannot be removed properly.
If in doubt, the treatment should be postponed and medical advice should be sought.
Do not get a tattoo:
• if you are pregnant or breastfeeding;
• if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
• on a mole or a scar left after the removal of a melanoma.
The following conditions or circumstances may carry a higher risk of complications:
1) Skin:
a) skin infection regardless of location and type of infection
b) allergies (indicate if you have an allergy, for example,
latex allergy, allergy to metals and preservatives)
c) skin areas that appear damaged or abnormal, including moles
d) any active skin diseases (e.g., eczema, psoriasis)
e) skin areas that have undergone plastic surgery or radiotherapy, including recent scars and keloids (based on medical advice)
f) a previously tattooed area that has not yet fully healed
g) an area where a tattoo has recently been lasered away or removed by another method if the wound has not healed
2) General conditions:
a) hemophilia or another clotting disorder
b) epilepsy, cardiovascular diseases
c) known allergies (e.g., latex allergy)
d) diabetes
e) an autoimmune disease
f) immunosuppression and conditions with a compromised immune system
g) sarcoidosis
If any of the above conditions or circumstances apply to you and you still wish to get a tattoo, please consult your doctor first and seek advice.
