2. Information about the procedure

I hereby declare that, before the procedure (tattooing) was carried out,

I was informed and instructed by an employee of the tattoo and piercing

studio BLACK HOUSE TATTOO s.r.o., with its registered office at Na

Folimance 2155/21, 120 00 Prague 2, Company ID: 04385322, file no. in the

Commercial Register: C 246801 kept by the Municipal Court in Prague

(hereinafter the "studio"), about the nature and manner of performing the

procedure, the possible complications caused by it, as well as other

matters relating to the procedure. I declare that the tattooist

sufficiently explained to me the necessary aftercare for the tattoo, as

set out among other places in Part 5 of this document, and also answered

all my questions sufficiently.


I declare that, on the basis of my conversation with the tattooist and the

instruction given by them, I have fully understood the risks of the

planned procedure and consent to it being carried out despite the

interference with my bodily integrity. I declare that I was informed by

the tattooist that health complications and/or undesirable consequences

may arise during or after the procedure, and that, in view of my consent

and the instruction given, neither the tattooist nor the studio is liable

for them.

3. Risks of the procedure

I declare that the tattooist explained and described to me all possible risks of tattooing, in particular that:

  • if I do not care for the tattoo properly, a local bacterial infection (skin infection) may develop at the tattoo site, characterised by redness, swelling, discharge of pus and pain;

  • my body may react to the tattoo with an allergic reaction, meaning a rash at the tattoo site;

  • during healing, inflammation (a granuloma) may appear at the site of the ink punctures, and the procedure may lead to the formation of scar tissue (keloids), particularly if I am prone to keloid scarring;

  • during magnetic resonance imaging, the tattoo may itch or burn;

  • a tattoo is permanent in nature and its removal is highly demanding and may not always be 100% effective.

I understand that unforeseen allergic or immune reactions may occur during the healing period, and that healing time differs from person to person depending on various factors.

I understand and agree that for a procedure performed on a mucous membrane, or in the area of the palms, soles, fingers or face, I have no guarantee as to the quality of the procedure performed, nor any claim to a discount or free correction of the tattoo. I understand that the final shades of colour in a healed tattoo may differ from the shades of the inks used, depending on skin tone, the manner and extent of tanning, and skin pigmentation.

4. State of health

Please tick everything that applies to you. If none of the items apply to you, tick the last option.

I declare that I have consulted the planned procedure with my attending

physician and am undergoing it with their approval. The consultation with

the physician revealed no restrictions on carrying out the procedure.

I declare that I am aware that if this declaration is not based on the

truth, I risk the occurrence of health complications of which I have been

warned, and for which neither the tattooist nor the studio bears any

responsibility.

5. Tattoo aftercare

I declare and understand that I must unconditionally follow the tattoo aftercare procedure I have been given, and that if I fail to do so, I understand the possible consequences (in particular healing difficulties, health complications and more extensive correction of the tattoo). I understand that neither the tattooist nor the studio is liable for consequences caused by improper aftercare, or by the use of products not purchased directly from the studio (or by improper use of products purchased at the studio).

I understand that in the event of any uncertainty or complications with the healing of the tattoo, I am obliged to inform my physician and the studio without delay, by email, with a description of the problem and a photograph of the current state of the tattoo attached.

Tattoo aftercare procedure

At the studio we use two methods of caring for a fresh tattoo — covering it with a healing membrane or with an absorbent pad. The tattooist decides which one is used. You receive the aftercare products from us free of charge.


Membrane: do not peel it off for 3 days. Then remove the membrane, wash the tattoo and, for 3 weeks, apply a thin layer of moisturising cream every 3–6 hours.


Absorbent pad: keep the bandage on for 2–4 hours. Then remove it, wash the tattoo with warm water and non-antibacterial soap, dry it with a paper towel, apply cream and cover with a clean pad. Repeat morning and evening for as long as the tattoo is still weeping.

Throughout the entire healing period the following is prohibited:

  • scratching and picking at the tattoo

  • sunbathing

  • bathing in a bathtub, swimming pool, water park or the sea (only showering is permitted)

  • shaving the tattooed area

For the first 7 days, additionally:

  • playing sports

  • overstraining or stretching the skin at the tattooed area

  • contact with animals

  • for the first 3 days: do not drink alcohol, especially beer.

You can find the detailed aftercare procedure, including photographs, here: [Tattoo healing]

Attention!

Complete healing of a tattoo takes 21 to 60 days. The healing time is affected by a great many factors, so do not compare the healing of your tattoo with other people or with the healing of your other tattoos. Do not seek advice about the healing process and do not follow aftercare advice from other sources, with the exception of your attending physician. Remember that trouble-free and rapid healing accounts for 50% of a tattoo's quality. And the best way to heal a tattoo is proper care combined with a healthy lifestyle.
