    • I will advise my tattooer prior to the start of the tattoo.

    • I accept that variations in color and design may exist between the tattoo as selected by me and as ultimately applied to my body at my artist’s discretion.

    • I understand that if I have any skin treatments, laser hair removal, plastic surgery or any other skin altering procedures, it may result in adverse changes in my tattoo.

    • I acknowledge that this tattoo will result in a permanent change to my physical appearance and do not hold Art Sharks Tattoo Co. or any of its employees or representatives liable for changing or removal of my tattoo once it has been obtained.
