I will notify my artist immediately if I have any infections, rashes, or lesions anywhere on my body.

I fully understand that a tattoo is a permanent modification to my body and that removal or alteration may be difficult, expensive, or impossible.
I do not have any physical, mental, or medical condition that would be negatively affected by receiving a tattoo.

I am receiving this tattoo of my own free will without coercion.
