Tattoo Contract Artist

Please read and answer

Artists Rights

The artist is a contractor working under the umbrella of Ninja Cyborg Studio. They reserves the right to refuse service to any client or decline to perform any tattoo at their discretion.

Appointments will be cancelled immediately and deposits forfeited if a client displays rude, disrespectful, or abusive behavior.

Additionally, any tattoo requests that include racist, hateful, discriminatory, or gang-related content will be refused without exception.

Clients who engage in abusive or inappropriate behavior may be permanently banned from receiving services from any artist at Ninja Cyborg Studio.

Waive

I understand and agree to waive and release the artist and Ninja Cyborg Studio from any and all liability for personal injury, complications, or damages — whether caused by negligence or otherwise — that may arise from receiving this tattoo.

This waiver applies to me, my estate, heirs, and legal representatives, and covers all claims now and in the future related to this procedure.

Bloodbourne Pathogens

I agree to inform my artist if I have any bloodborne illnesses, transmittable diseases, or recent health concerns before receiving my tattoo.
(It’s okay if you do — we just need to know to keep everyone safe.)

You may use the space below to share any relevant health information or concerns:

Fainting

If I am prone to fainting or have any medical sensitivities, I will inform my artist before the tattoo begins.

Health

I agree to inform my artist if I have any of the following conditions:

Diabetes, epilepsy, hemophilia, heart conditions, or if I take blood-thinning medications

Any condition that may affect the application or healing of my tattoo

If I have received an organ or bone marrow transplant and have not taken preventive antibiotics

If I am currently pregnant or nursing

If I have any mental health condition that may affect my judgment in choosing to be tattooed

You may use the space below to disclose any relevant medical information or concerns:

Risks

I understand that getting a tattoo involves certain inherent risks, including but not limited to:

Infection, scarring, allergic reactions, and

Potential interference with the detection of skin conditions such as melanoma

I may also react to tattoo pigments, latex gloves, or soaps used during the procedure.

Despite these known and unknown risks, I voluntarily choose to proceed and fully accept all responsibility for any outcomes.

Influence

I confirm that I am not under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and that I am voluntarily consenting to be tattooed by the artist without pressure, duress, or coercion.

Healing

I acknowledge that I have been given aftercare instructions by the artist and/or studio, and I understand how to properly care for my tattoo during the healing process.

I understand that failure to follow these instructions may result in complications such as infection or poor healing.

If touch-up work is required due to my own negligence, I agree that any such work will be done at my own expense, and that all touch-ups are subject to additional fees.

Colours and clarity

I understand that variations in color, detail, and design may occur between the reference artwork and the final tattoo once applied to my body.

I acknowledge that, over time, tattoos may fade or blur, and colors may shift due to factors like skin type, sun exposure, and the body’s natural healing process.

I also understand that white ink will not appear bright white, as tattoo ink is placed beneath the skin and will be influenced by my natural skin tone, especially with white and pale pigments.

If I have any concerns or questions, I will speak with my artist prior to the tattoo.

Spelling

I understand that neither the artist nor the studio is responsible for the meaning, spelling, grammar, punctuation, or cultural accuracy of any text or symbols I have provided or approved, including those designed or drawn by the artist at my request.

Permanent

I understand that a tattoo is a permanent modification to my appearance and cannot be removed by the artist or studio once applied.

Photographs

I give my consent for photographs of me and my tattoo to be taken during and after the tattoo session. I release all rights to these images and authorize their use for studio promotion, portfolios, print materials, and social media or digital platforms.

If I would like to review any photos before they are posted, I understand it is my responsibility to request this during my appointment.
If no conversation occurs prior to the tattoo session, I acknowledge that I am providing full permission for photos to be posted or used by the artist or studio.

If you would like to opt out of photography, please indicate that below:

Sterile packages

I acknowledge that I will witness all sterile equipment being opened and that the sterilization process has been explained to me.

All of my questions regarding cleanliness and safety will be answered to my full satisfaction before the procedure begins.

I am aware that the studio uses a medical-grade sharps container for the safe disposal of all needles and related equipment.

COVER UPS

Cover-up tattoos require additional time, planning, and artistic consideration. The design must be carefully created to effectively work with the shape, color, and saturation of the existing tattoo.

Clients should understand that not all designs can be used for a cover-up, and the final result may need to be larger, darker, or more stylized than originally planned in order to achieve a successful outcome.

Your artist will discuss realistic options with you during the consultation.

Hand, Finger, Feet, face.

I understand that tattoos on hands, fingers, feet, and faces carry unique risks and limitations compared to other areas of the body, including but not limited to:

Fading and Blurring: These areas are high movement and high exposure zones. Tattoos here are prone to faster fading, spreading, and blurring due to frequent use, friction, and sun exposure.

Healing Issues: Tattoos in these areas may heal unevenly, with greater chances of ink loss, patchiness, or excessive peeling. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve and maintain results.

Touch-Ups Not Guaranteed: touch-ups in these areas are not free of charge and may be at the artist’s discretion.

Infection Risk: These areas are more exposed to dirt, bacteria, and daily contact, increasing the risk of infection if aftercare is not followed strictly.

Visibility & Career Impact: Tattoos in visible areas such as the hands and face may impact employment opportunities, social perception, or personal relationships.

Client Responsibility: I understand that I am fully responsible for the decision to be tattooed in these areas, and I accept that the artist and studio cannot guarantee the longevity, clarity, or outcome of the tattoo.

By signing this waiver, I confirm that I understand the above risks and accept full responsibility for receiving a tattoo on my hands, fingers, feet, or face.

By signing below, I confirm that I have read, understood, and agree to all terms outlined in this waiver.
I acknowledge that I am voluntarily receiving a tattoo and accept all associated risks and responsibilities as stated above.

If any provision, section, subsection, clause or phrase of this release is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that portion shall be severed from this contract. The remainder of this contract will then be construed as though the unenforceable portion had never been contained in this document.
