  • Personal Details: Name, date of birth, address, phone number, and email.
  • Identification: Copies or details of government-issued photo ID (for age verification).
  • Health Information: Medical history relevant to the tattooing process (e.g., blood-borne viruses, allergies, skin conditions, medication).
  • Visual Records: Photographs of your tattoo before, during, and after the procedure for our portfolio and records.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used for the following purposes:

  • To confirm your identity and ensure you are legally able to be tattooed (18+).
