Digital tattoo consent forms your clients sign on a tablet
InkEthos replaces the paper clipboard. Your client scans their ID, answers the health questions, agrees to the photo and disclosure terms, and signs. The signed form lands in their file.
What should a tattoo consent form include?
Most consent forms cover age and ID, health conditions, medications, allergies, pregnancy, alcohol or drug use, aftercare, and permission to take photos. Requirements vary by state and county, so check your local health department rules.
Photo consent, including intimate areas
The form asks clients to agree before photos are taken, including photos of private or intimate body areas such as the chest, breast or genital area. Clients can say no to photos and still get tattooed.
Is a digital signature valid?
In the United States, electronic signatures are generally recognized under the federal ESIGN Act and state UETA laws. Ask your local health department whether they accept digital records for inspections.
