New client intake forms for tattoo studios

Consent forms before the session is a common requirement for tattoo studios. Consent and health questions are needed before tattooing.

What your customers expect

People planning a tattoo and choosing an artist want to request a booking.

Intake forms collect the details you need before a first appointment, so the first meeting starts with the real conversation.

What it must handle for tattoo studios

Collect consent before the appointment and store forms securely.

What to collect

On top of the basics, a tattoo studio usually needs appointment reference (links the form to the booking so it is ready on the day).

Handling sensitive information

Health questions on intake or consent forms, such as allergies or medical conditions, are sensitive. Keep the answers in your booking or client system rather than an email inbox, and ask only what the service needs. The OAIC explains how health information is treated.

Ways to build it

Use the secure intake or registration forms provided by your practice or client management system, linked from the website.

Where that system has no forms, build a secure form that delivers straight into the approved system, never to email.

Where the website stops

The website hands over when the submission is stored in the system the practice or firm uses for client records.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do tattoo studios need new client intake forms?

Should intake forms be emailed to us?

Avoid sending sensitive submissions to a shared inbox. Deliver them to the system where client records are kept.

When should the form be sent?

Straight after booking works well, with a reminder before the appointment if it is not complete.
