The Legal Risk Score of a Tattoo Waiver Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • The document highlights the risk of potential physical complications from getting a tattoo, such as infection, scarring, and allergic reactions, which could arise despite the provider's precautions.
  • There is a risk related to the permanence of the tattoo, acknowledging that removal is difficult, costly, and might not restore the skin's original appearance.
  • The waiver absolves the provider from liability for a broad range of issues, including personal injury arising from the tattoo application, which places the responsibility for many potential negative outcomes on the client.
