Disclosure and Consent Form For Cosmetic
Tattoo Procedures
This information is not meant to scare you
only to better inform you. These side affects
are rare
but could include the following:
Infection - Whenever the skin is opened there is a
risk of infection. After the procedure we
will
supply you with antibacterial cleanser and
a healing ointment to take home. If you follow
the
after care instructions the risk of infection
is minimal.
Scarring - Scars are areas of fibrous tissue that
replace normal skin after an injury. The
tattoo
is an injury to your skin.
Hyperpigmentation - Hyperpigmentation is darkening of the
skin caused by increased melanin.
Injury to the skin could cause Hyperpigmentation.
Hypopigmentation - is scarring that turns lighter than the
skin around it.
Color Migration - When the pigment moves outside the area
where it is implanted.
Allergic Reaction - An allergic reaction occurs when the skin
senses a foreign body, in this case
the pigment, and overreacts by rejecting
it. Allergic reaction could happen immediately
after a
procedure or years later if your body decides
to respond to the foreign substance. The
risk of an
allergic reaction is minimal and you are
welcome to come n for a skin test prior to
your procedure.
Corneal Abrasion - An irritation on the surface of the cornea,
usually a foreign body sensation.
Every precaution will be taken to prevent
this from occurring but it is a risk with
so much work
being done around the eye area.
Conjunctivitis - An inflammation of the conjunctiva or
outermost layer of the eye. Treatable
with antibiotic eye drops.
Milia - White bumps that form when skin cells
become trapped and do not exfoliate naturally.
They look like tiny white pimple and in most
cases can be removed by scratching the surface
to release them.
Cold Sores - Watery blisters on the lip usually triggered
by stress, injury or sun exposure.
Although you cannot cure or prevent a cold
sore from occurring you can take steps to
reduce the
risk and limit the duration of an outbreak
with medication. Call your doctor or dentist
and ask
about Zovirax or Acyclovir.
Pain or Discomfort - Topical anesthetics will be applied throughout
the procedure to control the
pain although each person has a different
level of pain tolerance.
