By checking the box below and signing this consent form, I acknowledge that I have read, understand, and agree to the following terms for services performed at The Station by Swagga House LLC, including services involving participating Ink City Tattoo Academy students when applicable.
SERVICE & ARTIST AGREEMENT
I understand that tattoo artists working at The Station may operate independently and may establish their own pricing, scheduling, deposits, and service policies unless the service is part of an official The Station or Ink City event or promotion.
I understand that my tattoo artist, student artist, or supervising artist may refuse, pause, modify, or discontinue a service when necessary for health, safety, sanitation, behavior, credentialing, or regulatory reasons.
I agree to follow all reasonable instructions provided by the artist, supervisor, instructor, or authorized The Station personnel while receiving services at the facility.
PRICING, PAYMENTS & REFUNDS
I understand that all tattoo pricing must be agreed upon before the service begins.
I understand that deposits, appointment payments, event purchases, flash tattoo purchases, and other payments may be subject to separate booking, cancellation, rescheduling, refund, and touch-up policies presented at the time of purchase.
Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing, payments made to one independent artist are not automatically transferable to another artist, student, appointment, event, or service.
Completion of this consent form does not itself guarantee a refund, free touch-up, replacement service, or future appointment.
DESIGN & TATTOO RESULTS
I understand that I am responsible for reviewing the tattoo design, spelling, numbers, dates, size, orientation, colors, and placement before tattooing begins.
Once I approve the design and tattooing has started, changes may not be possible without changing the design, increasing the price, or scheduling additional work.
I understand that tattoo results and healing vary from person to person and that no exact healed result can be guaranteed.
STUDENT & APPRENTICE SERVICES
When I knowingly choose a tattoo service involving an Ink City student or apprentice, I understand that the individual is participating in a training or professional-development program and may have less experience than an established tattoo artist.
I understand that student or apprentice services may take longer and may require assistance, correction, intervention, or completion by an approved supervising artist.
I understand that the supervising artist may stop or take over the procedure when necessary for safety, quality, training, or compliance purposes.
I understand that agreeing to receive services involving a student or apprentice does not automatically entitle me to a refund, free correction, or free future service because of normal variations associated with student work.
CLIENT CONDUCT & FACILITY RULES
I agree to behave appropriately toward artists, students, staff, other clients, and guests.
The Station reserves the right to refuse or discontinue service and require a person to leave the premises for threatening, abusive, disruptive, unsafe, intoxicated, inappropriate, or noncompliant behavior.
I agree not to interfere with another tattoo procedure, enter restricted staff areas, handle tattoo equipment or supplies without permission, or contaminate a tattoo workstation.
AFTERCARE RESPONSIBILITY
I understand that proper aftercare is necessary for safe healing and the final appearance of my tattoo.
I agree to follow the written and verbal aftercare instructions provided to me.
I understand that failure to properly care for the tattoo, including picking, scratching, soaking, excessive sun exposure, contamination, or use of inappropriate products, may negatively affect healing and the appearance of the tattoo.
The Station, the artist, student, or supervisor is not responsible for complications or poor results caused by my failure to follow aftercare instructions or by information that I failed to disclose before the procedure.
PERSONAL PROPERTY
I understand that I am responsible for my personal property while inside the facility. The Station is not responsible for lost, misplaced, stolen, or damaged personal belongings except where responsibility cannot legally be excluded.
PHOTOGRAPHY & RECORDS
I understand that photographs of the tattoo or treatment area may be maintained privately as part of the service, training, safety, compliance, or quality record.
Any promotional or public use of photographs or video remains subject to the separate media choice provided in this consent form.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I understand that this agreement is part of my tattoo session consent. I have had the opportunity to ask questions before agreeing. I understand that checking this box and signing the consent form indicates my voluntary acceptance of these terms.
