Tattoo Consent & Medical Declaration Form

A tattoo consent template — records the client’s medical declaration, understanding of the risks and a signature, before tattooing.

Description

Every tattoo should begin with informed consent and a medical declaration, and this form captures both in one clear document. It records the client’s details and date of birth, the placement for today’s piece, and a medical check covering the conditions that genuinely affect tattooing — diabetes, bleeding disorders, heart conditions, epilepsy, skin conditions at the site, allergies, pregnancy and blood thinners. The confirmations then set out what the client is agreeing to in plain language: that they’re not under the influence of alcohol or drugs, that a tattoo is permanent and they understand the risks of infection and reaction, that aftercare is their responsibility, and that they’re over 18 and have disclosed everything relevant. A signature turns it into the dated, defensible record that your licensing and insurance require you to hold. Have every client complete it before you tattoo, every time. It’s free, brand-styled, and makes the legal and safety bedrock of your studio a quick, consistent step.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Tattoo Consent & Medical Declaration Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

Why is a consent and medical form essential for tattooing?

Because tattooing breaks the skin and carries real risks, and clients must understand and agree to them. A signed consent and medical declaration protects the client and is required by licensing and insurance.

What medical conditions does it check?

Diabetes, bleeding disorders, heart conditions, epilepsy, skin conditions at the site, allergies including to inks and latex, pregnancy and blood thinners — the conditions that affect whether and how to tattoo safely.

Why confirm the client isn't under the influence?

Because alcohol and drugs thin the blood, affect healing and compromise consent. Confirming sobriety in writing protects both the client and the artist, and refusing intoxicated clients is standard practice.

Should it be completed every visit?

Yes — a fresh consent and medical declaration before each tattoo captures any changes in health or medication and records consent for that specific piece.

Why ask for date of birth and a signature?

To confirm the client is an adult and to record that they actively agreed to the treatment. Together they make the form a reliable, dated record rather than an unsigned questionnaire.

Is the form free?

Yes. It’s free with a Fun Forms account, fully brandable, and ready for clients to sign on a tablet before their appointment.
