DISCLAIMER FOR COSMETIC TATTOOING 

• I accept that the fees for the 2 part permanent cosmetic procedures are to be paid in full prior to the commencement of the initial procedure/appointment, and the follow-up, touch-up procedure 6-8 weeks after the first visit.
• I accept that there will be an additional charge for any subsequent appointments that may be necessary to obtain the desired colour or shape. For many reasons some skin types, permanent cosmetics may be a multi-step process.
• I understand the pigment colour implanted, plus my skins undertone colour will determine the final pigment colour. The influence of my skins undertone and the fade out rate of certain pigment colours may result in a different colour appearing and may need adjustment in a follow-up touch up appointment/s.
• I understand the second visit is to check that the pigment healed evenly in the skin and that no more pigment needs to be added to the shape or needs to have an additional or counteracting pigment colour added. THE FOLLOW-UP TOUCH UP APPOINTMENT IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP IN THE WHOLE PERMANENT COSMETIC PROCEDURE.
• I accept that it cannot be expected that the colour will remain the same intensity and darkness as they were when first created because approximately 10 – 70% of the colour will fade from the epidermal layer of the skin during the healing process.
• I accept that 100% success cannot always be achieved. Although rare it is to be noted that some skins just do not accept pigment. Maintenance touch-ups will be necessary from six months or longer to keep the pigment looking fresh. Fees for maintenance are charged.
• I understand there is a possibility that the pigment may migrate under the skin and/or cause scarring and/or cause Hyper-pigmentation (darkening of the skin) or Hypo-pigmentation (lightening of the skin), especially in lips & eyeliner, this may occur during the procedure and may be permanent. This is rare but it can happen. I will not hold my technician, Cosmetic Inc Limited and/or the distributor/manufacturer of the products used in this treatment liable for any damages that may occur.
• I understand that with time the implanted pigment will gradually fade. The length of time it takes to fade depends on my skin type (oily), age, metabolism, medications, smoking, alcohol, sun exposure, Retin A and Glycolic acids, aftercare and any problems experienced with the implantation and absorbency of the pigment into my skin.
• I understand that the treatment is very intense and accept there may be some initial swelling and possible bruising and that there may be crust formation during healing of some procedures.
• I acknowledge that I have received the written aftercare information sheet.
• I agree to follow all pre-procedure and post-procedure instructions as provided to me by the practitioner and found at www.cosmeticinc.co.nz/terms-conditions/ and understand that infection and possible scarring can occur if I do not adhere to the said instructions.
• I agree to inform my doctor of my permanent cosmetic enhancement if I require a MRI scan within a 3 month and may not donate blood for a period of 6 months after having a permanent cosmetic tattoo.
• I understand that there could be a sensitivity or an allergic reaction to either the anaesthetics, pigment or aftercare products and I acknowledge that I have been given the opportunity to a patch test 72 hours prior to my procedure if I choose not to, I accept this disclaimer and wave any salon responsibility should a reaction occur now or in the future.
• I understand that if someone else does the initial pigment implantation procedure and I choose to have a re-touch up, correction or removal by a Cosmetic inc practitioner, that there will be absolutely no claim against the Practitioner arising from such remedial treatment.
• I acknowledge that no guarantees have been made to me concerning the results of this procedure. I have been given the opportunity to ask questions and they were answered to my satisfaction
• I understand that I may break out in cold sores from the lip procedure and I have been advised of the necessary steps for before and after for possible prevention.

DISCLAIMER FOR (TATTOO) LIGHTENING/REMOVAL 

• The nature and method of the proposed pigment (tattoo) lightening procedure has been explained to me including risks or the possibility of complications during or following its performance. I understand there may be a certain amount of discomfort or pain associated with the procedure and that the other adverse side effects may include: minor and temporary bleeding, bruising, redness or other discolouration and swelling.  Fever blisters may occur on the lips following lip procedures in individuals prone to this problem.  Secondary infection in the area of the procedure may occur, however, if properly cared for, this is rare.
• I understand that several treatments may be needed in order to attempt to achieve my desired results. However, I have not received any guarantees to the quality of the outcome of the process.
• I understand there are medical options available for pigment (tattoo) removal. I have decided to decline those methods.
• I understand that the unwanted pigment may not be successfully lightened to the point that it can no longer be seen. Scarring as hyper-pigmentation or hypo-pigmentation, or other damage to the skin may occur during this process and may be permanent. This is rare but it can happen.  I will not hold my technician, Cosmetic Inc Limited and/or the distributor/manufacturer of tattoo removal products used in this attempted pigment (tattoo) lightening or removal liable for any damages that may occur to my person.
• I understand there will be no refunds if the desired lightening result is not achieved.
• For skin types V and VI; I understand that I am at a higher risk for hyper-pigmentation and hypo-pigmentation than other skin types. I agree to the risk involved.
• I understand that lightening tattoo pigment is difficult, if even possible. As a result, I will not hold my technician or Cosmetic Inc Limited responsible for any resultant failure to lighten the unwanted pigment.
• I agree to follow all aftercare instructions provided by me by my technician.
• I have been duly informed of the natures, risks, possible complications and consequences as listed above.
• There is a fee for this service and additional fees for all additional sessions. The fees have been explained to me and I agree to the fees. Fees for the additional session (s) cannot be determined until the results from this first session are complete and how much needs to be done the additional session (s) can be determined
• I have disclosed all that has been asked of me to the best of my ability and I understand all information listed above. I have had all my questions answered, and agree to all conditions and provisions of this document as evidenced by signature below.  I acknowledge this is a contract and that I have received no warranties or guarantees with respect to the benefits to be realised from, or consequences of, the aforementioned procedure(s). I accept the risks for having this procedure done therefore release my technician and Cosmetic Inc Limited from any and all liability
