Terms of use
The structure a tattoo studio’s terms have to cover, without inventing the wording.
This document is a skeleton. The headings are the real structure such a document needs; the binding text underneath them is written by the client’s lawyer, not by whoever builds the site. A demo site has no binding text — which is why there is no text here pretending to be any.
Who runs the site
This identifies the business: full legal name, registration number, address and an email address for legal notices. Those details belong to the client, so the client supplies them rather than them being invented here.
What the service covers
A definition of what is actually sold — a consultation, a drawing, a session — and what is not part of it. That definition is what fixes the obligation, so it gets written against how the studio really works.
Booking and deposits
When a session counts as booked, what the deposit is, and what it comes off. On this site the booking path is a simulation with no charge, so there is nothing to describe here beyond the structure.
Cancellation and no-shows
How long before a session it can be cancelled without losing the deposit, and what happens if nobody turns up. This is the clause the deposit exists for, and the one most worth drafting carefully.
Rights in drawings and photographs
Who owns the drawing, and who may photograph the work and publish it. ⚠ This is an open question, explicitly recorded as unresolved, and a real document has to answer it before a client gallery is published.
Limitation of liability
What the studio commits to and what it does not. Drafting a clause like this without a lawyer is precisely the mistake this document is meant to prevent.
Governing law and jurisdiction
The governing law and the competent court. A short clause, and one of the few that looks almost the same everywhere — which does not make it one to copy unread.
