CONSENT & AFTERCARE FOR TATTOO STUDIOS

Signed, checked, and sent home healing.

Inkslip is the consent form your client fills in on your tablet. It won't save until every answer is in, flags the risky ones for you, keeps every signed form searchable, and prints an aftercare sheet for that exact placement and style.

before

Paper forms get lost. Risky answers get missed.

A clipboard form can't tell you that today's client is on warfarin, or that they haven't eaten since breakfast. It can't find last March's client when an inspector asks. And the aftercare sheet you hand over says the same thing whether the tattoo is on a ribcage or a finger.

the sitting

One form, four steps, one signature.

  1. 01 Hand over the tablet.

    Inkslip opens on a blank consent form. Your client fills in their name, date of birth and the tattoo, in numbered sections with big, finger-sized controls. The date is already set to today.

  2. 02 Eleven plain yes-or-no questions.

    Blood thinners, pregnancy, sunburn, heart, epilepsy, allergies and the rest. Every one needs an answer. Nothing is pre-ticked.

  3. 03 Check their ID, tick it off.

    Choose the ID you saw (driving licence, passport, national ID card or other photo ID) and confirm the photo and date of birth match. Inkslip works out their age on the tattoo date and stops the form for anyone under 18.

  4. 04 They sign with a finger.

    Five consent statements, ticked one by one, then a signature drawn on the screen. Press Sign and save and it's saved as a record on your tablet.

Built for the bench, not the back office.

Flags the answers that matter

Ten answers flag on "Yes" and one flags on "No". Each flag comes with a note for you, and the form won't save until you tick that you discussed it with your client.

Are you pregnant or breastfeeding?

Pregnant or breastfeeding: most studios postpone until after.

Do you have sunburn, a rash or broken skin where the tattoo will go?

Sunburn, rash or broken skin on the area: do not tattoo over damaged skin.

Have you eaten in the last 4 hours?

Has not eaten in 4 hours: offer food or a sugary drink to prevent fainting.

Won't save half a form

Sign and save is never greyed out. Press it early and Inkslip lists every missing answer at the top, each one a link straight to the field.

Every signed form is a record on your tablet. Search by name, narrow by date, open it, print it.

Aftercare for that exact tattoo

Each record prints with a one-page aftercare sheet written for its placement and style, with a healing timeline and the warning signs that mean "call a doctor".

Aftercare · Forearm and wrist · Fine line

  • Take off watches and bracelets on that arm until it heals.
  • Keep it out of the sun when driving; car windows let UV through.
  • Fine lines can look patchy while they heal. Wait until fully healed before deciding on a touch-up.

The surface heals in 2 to 4 weeks; the skin underneath takes about 3 months.

No account, no sign-up, no server. Records live in this browser on this tablet, and a backup file moves them to a new one.

Works with the Wi-Fi off

A patchy studio connection never stops a session. Follows your tablet's light or dark setting, so it's easy on the eyes in a dim room.

the real thing

This is the app. Go ahead, fill it in.

What you see here is Inkslip itself, running in your browser. Anything you type stays on this device.

Best on a tablet. It works here too.

the fine print

Careful where it counts.

Under 18 stops the form.

Age is worked out on the tattoo date, so a birthday tomorrow still counts as today.

Signed means final.

A signed record can be viewed, printed or deleted, never quietly edited.

General care, not medical advice.

Every aftercare sheet says so and lists the warning signs that mean a doctor, not a forum.

Your next client is already in the chair.

Open Inkslip on your tablet and hand it over. There's nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.
