The right consent form. The right aftercare. Every time.

Per-service digital consent forms, prep reminders, and aftercare — for tattoos, piercings, PMU, and more. A piercing client never gets tattoo aftercare by accident.

Free to start. Go paperless today.

Digital consent form on tablet

Still using paper forms?

One-size tattoo consent form handed to every client — piercing clients too
Clients showing up without reading prep instructions
First 10 minutes wasted on paperwork
Piercing client gets tattoo aftercare instructions
No digital record if questions arise later
Aftercare texts at midnight: 'is this normal?'
Filing cabinets full of forms nobody can find

Every service is different. The paperwork should be too.

Per-service consent forms, done right

Each service gets its own consent template with the right disclosures. A tattoo form captures skin prep and health conditions. A piercing form captures jewelry placement, metal sensitivities, and piercing-specific attestations. Clients sign digitally on any device before they arrive.

  • Separate templates for tattoos, piercings, PMU, and more
  • Sign on any phone, tablet, or computer
  • Linked to client profile permanently
  • Timestamped with digital signature
  • Customizable fields and branding

No more clipboards. No more wrong forms.

SMS sent at +1 hour

Day 1-3: Keep it wrapped

Keep the bandage on for 2-4 hours. Wash gently with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap.

Email sent at +24 hours

Day 3-14: Moisturize

Apply thin layer of unscented lotion 2-3 times daily. Don't pick at flaking skin.

Piercing clients receive their own care instructions — never this form.

The right aftercare, dripped at the right time

No more clients texting "wait, what was I supposed to do again?" at midnight. Each service gets its own aftercare instructions — and they can drip out over the healing window. An SMS at +1 hour, a follow-up email at +24 hours. Tattoo clients get tattoo healing instructions. Piercing clients get piercing care. Never mixed up.

  • Per-service aftercare templates — no cross-contamination
  • Drip aftercare: SMS at +1h, then email at +24h
  • Clients access instructions anytime from their confirmation page
  • Customize for different tattoo styles, piercing types, and healing windows

The prep journey — per service

Whether it's a tattoo sleeve, a piercing, or a PMU appointment — the right forms and aftercare fire automatically for that service.

1

Client books

Service type detected. Correct consent form and prep instructions queued.

2

Reminders sent

Service-specific consent form link + prep instructions sent before the appointment.

3

Client arrives ready

Form signed, instructions read. No wrong forms, no surprises.

4

Aftercare drips out

SMS at +1h, email at +24h — timed to their healing window, not a one-time blast.

Built-in compliance, per service

Different services have different rules. Apprentice handles the differences so you don't have to wing it.

Minor age rules

Set a minimum age per service. Under the threshold? A guardian signature field appears automatically on the consent form.

Service attestations

Add per-service compliance fields — piercing licensure documentation, PMU pigment records the artist keeps on file, or any attestation your shop requires.

Timestamped audit trail

Every signed form is timestamped and stored. If a question comes up later, you have a digital record — not a lost paper in a filing cabinet.

Studios that went paperless

Mia Rodriguez, Artist at Crimson Lotus Ink
"I used to spend the first 10 minutes of every appointment hunting for forms. Now clients show up ready and I just... start tattooing."

"The audit trail saved me once already. Client claimed they never signed anything. Pulled up the record in two seconds."

Questions? Answers.

Are the consent forms legally compliant?

Templates are designed with industry standards in mind. Tattoo and piercing forms each capture date, time, signature, and the health disclosures relevant to that service. We recommend having a local attorney review your specific forms.

Can I customize each service's form?

Yes. Each service type gets its own template. Add custom fields, change the wording, include service-specific disclosures, and add your shop logo. Pro plans get fully branded templates.

How does aftercare work for different services?

Each service has its own aftercare template. Tattoo clients get tattoo healing instructions; piercing clients get piercing care. Instructions can drip out over time — an SMS at +1 hour, a follow-up email at +24 hours — matching the healing window for that service.

What about minors?

Consent forms can require a parent or guardian signature for clients under 18. You set the age rule per service. The form captures both signatures and stores them together.

How are forms stored?

Digital forms are stored securely and linked to the client's profile. You can access any form instantly — no more digging through filing cabinets.

Can clients fill forms out at home?

Yes. Prep reminders include a link to complete consent forms before they arrive. Most clients do it on their phone the night before.

What compliance attestations are supported?

You can add per-service attestation fields for things like piercing licensure documentation or PMU pigment records the artist keeps on file. These are artist-maintained compliance records, not inventory management.
