Before moving forward with the Semi-Permanent Makeup (tattoo) procedure, I confirm that I am well-informed about the process and what it entails. I understand that a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that refers to the process of implanting tiny dots to mimic freckles/beauty marks and enhance their natural look. This is done by implanting pigment under the skin using a small, sterile, disposable needle. I understand that, like any procedure, there may be some risks and potential complications. These can include minor side effects such as temporary bleeding, bruising, redness, or swelling. I understand that my SPMU will be dark and intense for the first few days, may peel, and lighten in the course of 2 week and that I must avoid water contact and sweating on the area during this healing period. I am aware and prepared for any discomfort or pain that might occur during or after the treatment. I understand that if I experience any of these symptoms: prolonged pain, severe redness, heat around the area of the procedure, excessive swelling, discharge that is thick, or creamy, white, yellow, or green, that I will seek medical attention immediately. While fading and pigment loss can happen, secondary infections are extremely rare when proper aftercare is followed. I acknowledge and agree to the following: I have received sufficient information about the procedure, including pre-treatment advice and aftercare guidance. I'm aware that all treatments require two appointments (with the top-up session included in the treatment price), as well as colour boosts every 1-2 years to keep the results looking fresh. I understand that once my freckles have healed, the results may not appear as bold or defined as they did immediately following the procedure. It's natural for the pigment to fade or soften as the treated area heals. I confirm that I have completed a patch test at least 24 hours before the appointment and suffered no adverse reaction to the products tested. I wish for topical anaesthetic to be used for the treatment, and I have never had a reaction to anaesthetic in the past. I acknowledge that it is not reasonably possible to determine whether I might have an allergic reaction to any pigments, dyes, topical anaesthetics, or processes used in the procedure, and I agree to accept the risk that such a reaction is possible. I have informed the artist of any existing problems and have been offered a patch test. I realise that my body is unique and my artist cannot predict how my skin may react as a result of the procedure. I acknowledge that complications are always possible, particularly if post-procedure instructions are not followed. I understand that there may be additional fees for subsequent procedures (excluding the first touch-up). It's important to note that individuals with red hair, blonde hair, or fair skin may experience redness and swelling after the procedure, and there's a possibility that the pigment may not fully take. In such cases, additional procedures may be necessary to achieve the desired results. I understand and acknowledge that on darker skin types (such as Indian, African American, Filipino, etc.) the implanted pigment may appear softer and blend more with the natural melanin of the skin. As a result, it may not appear as bold or defined, and the hair strokes may be less visible. I understand and accept that if I have oily skin, the pigment may heal softer, fade quicker, and appear more solid due to the overproduction of oil glands. Despite these potential outcomes, I am willing to proceed with the procedure. I understand that regular tanning and exposure to sunlight can cause the healed pigment to darken and fade more quickly over time. It's advised to avoid tanning for at least 30 days before and after the procedure to ensure optimal results. I understand that skin-altering procedures such as plastic surgery, impacts, and/or injections may alter and degrade my permanent makeup. I further understand that such changes are not the fault of the artist. I further understand that such changes to my appearance may not be correctable through further permanent makeup procedures. I am aware that thyroid conditions and certain medications may affect how the pigment is retained, causing it to fade quicker or change in colour. I understand and accept these potential risks and still wish to proceed. Additionally, I confirm that I have not used any skin-changing medication in the past 12 months. I am aware that if undergoing tattoo removal in the treatment area before my session, pigment retention may be affected by any scar tissue present. Additional procedures may not be feasible in such cases, and refunds will not be provided once the services have been completed. In case of a CAT or MRI scan, I understand that I need to inform my physician about the Permanent Cosmetics containing Iron Oxide, as there may be rare instances where pulling or burning sensations could occur. I understand that if I do not abide by strict aftercare, I can ruin my results. The aftercare is crucial for optimum pigment retention. I understand that the decision to have Semi-Permanent Makeup is entirely my own and I willingly consent to the application of the procedure, understanding and accepting any potential risks. Absolutely no refunds will be granted after services have been performed. I acknowledge that the procedure will result in a permanent change to my appearance and that no representations have been made to me as to later change or remove the result. I understand that no promises have been made to me regarding the outcome of this procedure and the professional recommendation is for a natural look. I agree to collaborate with my artist on the colour and position of the freckles to be applied and give approval before the session begins. Additionally, I am aware that the actual (healed) pigment colour may vary slightly depending on the tone and colour of my skin. I acknowledge that Semi-Permanent Makeup is an artistic process, not an exact science. Each client's results will be unique and some may still require the use of pencil, powder, and/or dye. Touch-ups will be scheduled according to the recommended timeframe provided by your artist. I understand that the healing process of my body is beyond the artist's control. Even with diligent adherence to aftercare instructions, fading, blurring, or poor pigment retention may still occur, influenced by factors such as skin type and lifestyle. It's important to note that these outcomes are not attributable to any fault of the artist. I have carefully read and comprehended the contents of each paragraph above. I confirm that all the information provided in this form is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge. I acknowledge that any omission or misrepresentation of information could have implications for my health and treatment. I understand that there are no guarantees about the results or potential outcomes of the procedure(s). I understand that if I have Fitzpatrick Skin Type 1 (characterized by very fair, translucent skin, light eyes, and/or red hair), my skin may be more sensitive, prone to bleeding and bruising, and may not retain pigment as effectively. I acknowledge that this may affect the final healed result of my treatment. I understand that if my body naturally runs hot, increased blood flow may lead to more bleeding during the procedure, which can affect pigment retention and the final result. I acknowledge that if I have an autoimmune disorder, such as Lupus or Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, my skin may not retain pigment as expected, and my results may vary. I understand that no guarantees can be made regarding the final outcome of my treatment, as healed results depend on individual skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Any questions I may have had regarding permanent cosmetic procedures, and all have been satisfactorily addressed by the artist. I consent to Chaotique by Katie taking before and after photos of my treatment for documentation and insurance purposes. These images may also be used for marketing, social media, and promotional materials (both online and in print). If I do not wish for my photos to be used for promotional purposes, I understand that I must inform the technician at the time of my appointment. By signing below, I agree that I have read and understand the above information. Furthermore, I confirm that I was of sound mind and capable of making independent decisions for myself at the time of signing this consent form. I understand and acknowledge all the information provided and agree to proceed accordingly.
