Draft for internal review. The actual care instructions in Section 2 are generic placeholders — each Artist's real aftercare instructions (product recommendations, healing timeline) should come from them or their establishment, not be dictated by Charon, since aftercare varies by technique and studio. Have counsel confirm the acknowledgment framing before use.

Client Acknowledgment

Aftercare Acknowledgment

Last updated: September 19, 2026

Confirms you received and understood aftercare instructions before leaving your appointment. Charon hosts this record; your Artist provides the actual instructions.

1. Purpose

How you care for a new tattoo in the first few weeks matters as much as how it's applied. This document confirms your Artist gave you aftercare instructions, and that you understood them, before you left your appointment — not that Charon is providing medical guidance.

2. General Aftercare Guidance

[Placeholder — replace with your Artist's/establishment's actual aftercare protocol. Typical elements shown below for reference only.]

  • Keep the tattoo covered as instructed by your Artist for the recommended initial period.
  • Wash gently with unscented soap and lukewarm water; pat dry, don't rub.
  • Apply a thin layer of the aftercare product your Artist recommends — avoid petroleum-heavy products unless specifically advised.
  • Avoid swimming, soaking, direct sun, and tight clothing over the area until fully healed.
  • Do not pick or scratch at peeling or flaking skin.
  • Contact your Artist, or seek medical care, if you notice spreading redness, warmth, swelling, unusual discharge, or fever — these can be signs of infection.

3. Not Medical Advice

This document and any instructions your Artist gives you are general guidance, not a substitute for medical care. If you have concerns about how your tattoo is healing, contact a healthcare provider.

4. Signature

By checking the box presented with this document, you confirm your Artist gave you aftercare instructions and you understood them. Charon records the exact version of this document, the time, and your account at the moment you agree.
