A microblading consent form is the document a client signs before getting their brows microbladed. It confirms they approved the brow shape, understand how healing works, and know a touch-up is part of the process. It also screens for health issues that affect results, like Accutane, blood thinners, and pregnancy.

Client Information
•Phone: [Client Phone]
•Email: [Client Email]
•Date of Birth: [Client Dob]
Brow Details
•Technique:
Microblading (hair strokes)
Combination brows (strokes plus shading)
Other: [Technique]
•Pigment Color:[Pigment Colors]
I approve the brow shape that was mapped and drawn on before the procedure. I looked at it in a mirror and I'm happy with the shape, thickness, and placement.
Patch Test
•Patch test completed?
Yes. Date: [Patch Test Date]. Result: [Patch Test Result]
No. I declined or waived the patch test, and I accept the higher risk of an allergic reaction.
I understand that a patch test lowers, but does not remove, the risk of an allergic reaction.
Healing and Expectations
I understand my brows will look darker, sharper, and thicker for the first several days. This is normal.
I understand that while they heal, my brows may flake, look patchy, or seem to fade away in spots. Color often comes back over the next few weeks.
I understand the final result isn't visible until healing is complete, usually 4 to 6 weeks.
I understand that a touch-up 6 to 8 weeks after the first session is standard and part of the process. Touch-ups may be charged separately.
I understand that oily skin, large pores, and thin or mature skin may hold pigment less well. Strokes may blur or soften, and my artist may suggest a shading technique instead.
I understand microblading fades over time. Sun, skincare acids, and retinol can speed up fading. I'll need maintenance appointments to keep my brows fresh.
I understand that faces aren't perfectly symmetrical, and perfectly matching brows can't be guaranteed.
If I have old brow tattooing or PMU, I understand that working over it may change the result in ways that can't be fully predicted.
I agree to follow the aftercare instructions. I won't pick, scratch, or peel the flakes.
Risk Acknowledgement
I understand risks include infection, scarring, allergic reaction, blurred strokes, pigment migration, uneven fading, and color change over time.
I have been told that cosmetic pigments may affect MRI images. I will tell medical staff about my microblading before an MRI.
I understand that no specific result can be guaranteed.
** I consent to before and after photos for the artist's portfolio and marketing. I can say no without it affecting my treatment.

Your artist may ask you to pause these near the brows before your appointment. Talk to your doctor before stopping anything prescribed.

Tips for using this form
•Take before photos and a photo of the approved brow mapping before you start
•Walk clients through the healing stages out loud. A lot of worried messages come during the patchy stage
•Book the touch-up at the first appointment so it lands in the 6 to 8 week window
•Ask about oily skin up front. Some clients are a better fit for powder or combo brows
•PMU rules vary by state. Check your local licensing and disclosure requirements
Frequently Asked Questions
What should a microblading consent form include?
The approved brow shape, technique and pigment, patch test status, and plain notes on healing, touch-ups, and fading. It should also screen for Accutane, retinoids, blood thinners, recent Botox, pregnancy, and keloid history. Finish with a risk list and signatures from the client and artist.
Why do microblading brows look patchy while healing?
Fresh brows look dark and sharp at first. As the skin flakes, the strokes can look faded or even missing in spots. Color often comes back over the next few weeks as the skin settles. That’s why the touch-up visit matters, and why it helps to explain this before the client leaves.
Is a microblading touch-up really necessary?
For most clients, yes. A touch-up about 6 to 8 weeks after the first session is a standard part of microblading. It fills in strokes that didn’t hold and fine-tunes the shape. Put it on the consent form so clients see it as part of the process, not a fix for a mistake.
Who should not get microblading?
Artists often postpone or decline clients who recently took Accutane, are pregnant or nursing, or have active skin conditions in the brow area. Very oily skin may not hold crisp strokes, so shading can be a better fit. When a health question comes up, ask the client to check with their doctor.
Can I make my own microblading consent form?
Yes. Many artists start from a template like this one and adjust it for their services, state, and insurer. Keep the language plain, have clients initial each risk, and ask a local attorney to review the final version before you use it with clients.
