Permanent makeup consent form

A Permanent Makeup consent form is a document clients review and sign before undergoing a cosmetic tattoo or micropigmentation procedure. It records relevant medical information, explains the procedure and potential risks, and documents the client’s informed consent.

A Permanent Makeup consent form may include client details, medical history, allergies, medications, skin conditions, previous cosmetic procedures, treatment details, contraindications, potential risks, healing expectations, aftercare instructions, touch-up information, photo consent, and a signature.

A PMU consent form can be customised for microblading, powder brows, ombré brows, combination brows, nano brows, permanent eyeliner, lip blush, and other cosmetic micropigmentation procedures.

If treatments involve substantially different procedures or risks, separate treatment-specific consent sections or forms may be appropriate.

Yes. Medical history can help the PMU artist identify information that may be relevant to treatment, including allergies, medications, skin conditions, previous procedures, and other potential contraindications.

Only information relevant to providing the service should be collected and handled appropriately.

The form may address risks or outcomes such as swelling, redness, tenderness, infection, allergic reactions, pigment changes, uneven results, scarring, fading, colour changes, and the possible need for additional treatment.

The exact wording should reflect the specific procedure being provided.

Yes. Aftercare can affect the healing process and final appearance of permanent makeup.

The consent process can confirm that the client has received and understands instructions relating to healing, cleaning, moisture, sun exposure, cosmetics, picking or scratching, and when to contact the artist about concerns.

Some PMU businesses collect a comprehensive consent form before the initial procedure and ask clients to update relevant information before touch-ups or future treatments.

A new form may be appropriate when the procedure changes, the client’s health or medication information changes, a significant amount of time has passed, or the studio updates its consent terms.

An electronically signed Permanent Makeup consent form may help document informed consent when the terms are clearly presented and a reliable record is retained.

Its legal effect depends on the wording, procedure, circumstances, jurisdiction, and applicable regulations. PMU professionals should customise the form for their services and local requirements.
