Clients complete health questions and consent before the appointment or via your studio QR – with digital signature, proof and PDF.
Flow
A complete tattoo consent documents identity, health, risk disclosure, aftercare, the design, explicit consent, plus date and signature – ideally readable and easy to retrieve.
A Word template or PDF often only covers the moment of signing. Tatme connects consent, structured health questions, identity checks and storage with your studio workflow – and still exports a signed PDF when you need it.

Tatme: Consent tied to booking, contacts and chat in Tatme.
The consent form confirms clients were informed about the procedure, risks, aftercare and their details, and agree to the tattoo. For studios it is the central record – on paper, PDF or digital.
Good templates and digital forms cover the same topics. In Tatme they are built into the flow:
Many studios start with a Word template or a PDF from the web. That works at first – but versions, handwriting gaps and missing scans add up quickly.
A solid template includes all required fields above. Tatme replaces the paper process, not your duty to document: structured input, online signature, central archive and PDF export.
You can start digital in Tatme without maintaining your own Word file.
Minors usually need guardian consent, ID checks and often parental presence. Many studios set a minimum age – you decide responsibly.
Paper or digital: document who signed, which IDs were checked and that disclosure was understood. Tatme captures identity and consent structurally – it does not replace legal advice.
Not legal advice. Follow local rules and industry guidance.

Digital consent must be processed lawfully: clear purposes, secure storage, access for authorised users only. Sensitive health and signature data in Tatme is encrypted and frozen after signing.
Clients receive confirmation with an integrity hash; you can trace actions in the audit trail. See our privacy policy for details.
Read privacy policyBefore the appointment: fewer surprises on allergies or medication. At conventions: no printer chaos. After: you find the document again – not in three folders.
Booking, chat and consent in one system saves minutes per client and reduces errors that only show up at the chair.
There is no single statutory form requirement everywhere – in practice documented consent with disclosure is standard for studios and clients.
Both can document. Tatme structures the process, secures identity and still exports a PDF when needed.
