Document Overview
A waiver is a legal document which protects someone who wants to reduce their risk of liability. Reducing liability is important for businesses, especially those that facilitate risk-related activities.
It’s important to remember that there are some exceptions to the release of liability. You won't be protected by a waiver if an incident is caused by some forms of negligence or misconduct on behalf of your business. It is highly recommended that all waivers be reviewed by a lawyer.
The Legal Risk Score of a Tattoo Waiver Template
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document highlights the risk of potential physical complications from getting a tattoo, such as infection, scarring, and allergic reactions, which could arise despite the provider's precautions.
- There is a risk related to the permanence of the tattoo, acknowledging that removal is difficult, costly, and might not restore the skin's original appearance.
- The waiver absolves the provider from liability for a broad range of issues, including personal injury arising from the tattoo application, which places the responsibility for many potential negative outcomes on the client.
