Free Tattoo Consent Form for Greece: Template and Legal Requirements
The form is in Greek for your clients to sign. This guide is in English. Download as a PDF or editable Word doc, built for ΕΟΔΥ and GDPR by BookPay.
What every tattoo consent form must include
Eight sections you cannot skip. Each is covered in the downloadable template below.
Client information
Full legal name, date of birth, address, phone, emergency contact, government photo ID. Not an Instagram handle.
Health screening
Blood thinners, diabetes, keloid history, allergies, pregnancy, skin conditions, recent medications. Catches the things people reveal mid-session.
Tattoo description
Placement, size, style, custom or flash, which session if multi-part. Specific enough to settle a dispute about what was agreed.
Informed consent
Plain English on the actual risks: permanence, ink reactions, scarring, blowouts, fading. Jargon is not legally safer than clarity.
Aftercare acknowledgment
Client confirms they received instructions and accept responsibility for healing. Protects you against the next "the line blew out" complaint.
Age and minor policy
Date of birth plus photo ID. The age of majority is 18. Where tattooing a minor is permitted, a parent or guardian must be present. Check your public health authority's current rules.
Photo release
Opt-in to publish the finished work on your portfolio and Instagram. The one most artists forget until they get asked to take a photo down.
Signature, date, witness
Full legal signature, printed name, dated. Witness line required if the client is a minor. A signature without a date is worthless in a dispute.
What to look for in a digital consent tool
Product-agnostic. Use this whether you pick BookPay or something else.
E-signature legality
Audit trail compliant with the EU eIDAS Regulation. Not a basic "sign here" text box with no provenance.
Attaches to the booking
Linked to the specific appointment record. Not stored in a separate folder you have to cross-reference.
Retention controls
Set a retention and deletion schedule so old records do not pile up. Export everything if you ever switch tools.
Mobile-first signing
Clients sign on their phone without pinching and zooming. Most bookings happen on a phone.
Multi-language support
Forms available in the language the client reads. For Greek clients that means a Greek form. A consent form they did not understand is legally problematic.
Audit log
Records who signed, when, from what device, and whether the document was changed after the fact.
Where your data lives
Find out where the tool stores client records and who can access them. For EU clients, check data residency so you stay compliant with GDPR.
No paper. No DM thread. Signed before they sit down.
Client books and pays the deposit
They land on your BookPay page, pick a date, pay a Stripe deposit. Their booking is locked in.
BookPay sends the consent form
A link to your consent and intake form goes to their phone right after the deposit. They fill it out before the appointment.
Signed copy attaches to the booking
Time-stamped signature, audit log, stored against their client record. Not in a separate folder, not on paper.
You see the green check before they arrive
Open the booking in the morning. Health questions answered. Photo release status noted. No clipboard required.
