Client Intake Form

This form is designed to give information needed to make an informed choice of whether or not to undergo a permanent cosmetic procedure. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Although the elective procedures are effective in most cases, no guarantees can be made that a specific client will benefit from the procedure.

This is a process of inserting pigment into the dermal layer of the skin; a form of tattooing. All instruments that enter the skin or come in contact with body fluids are disposable and disposed of after use. Cross contamination guidelines are strictly followed.

Generally, the results are excellent. However, a perfect result is not a realistic expectation. It is common to expect touch-ups after healing is completed. Initially, the color will appear much more vibrant or darker compared to the end result. The pigment used will fade over time and will likely need to be touched up within 6 months to 3 years.

PAIN: There could be pain even after the topical anesthetic has been used. Anesthetics work better on some people than others. Please communicate with me how you’re doing throughout procedure.

INFECTIONS: Infection is very unusual. The areas treated must be kept clean and only touched with freshly cleaned hands. If you follow the specific after care instructions provided to you infection is highly unlikely

UNEVEN PIGMENT: This can be a result of poor healing, infection, bleeding, or other causes. Your follow up appointment will likely help correct any uneven appearances.

ASYMMETRY: Every effort will be made to avoid asymmetry but our faces are not symmetrical so adjustments may be needed during the follow up session to correct any unevenness.

EXCESSIVE SWELLING/BRUISING: Some people bruise and swell more than others. Ice packs may help the bruising and swelling. It typically disappears within 1-5 days. Some people do not bruise or swell at all.

ANESTHESIA: Typical anesthetics are used for numbing the area to be tattooed. Lidocaine, Tetracaine and Epinephrine in a cream and gel form are used. If you are allergic to any of these please inform your artist immediately.

MRI: Because pigments used in permanent cosmetic procedures contain inert oxides, a low level magnet may be required if you need to be scanned by an MRI machine. You must inform your technician of any tattoos or permanent cosmetics.

ALLERGIC REACTION: Less than a 0.25% of the population has an allergic reaction but there is a small possibility. Doing a spot test is recommended if you have had reactions in the past.
