Intake forms.
Consent, waivers, and client details in one flow.

A client intake form collects the information a service business needs before an appointment: contact details, service goals, preferences, allergies, medical history fields, consent, digital waivers, and signatures. For tattoo studios and beauty businesses, intake forms often combine a consultation questionnaire, health screening waiver fields, and a service-specific consent form in one mobile-friendly workflow.

Most intake forms should include client details, appointment goals, service preferences, relevant treatment history, allergy fields, medical history fields, health screening questions, consent language, waiver acknowledgements, policy acknowledgements, and an electronic signature. Tattoo client intake forms can also collect placement, size, style, reference images, age confirmation, aftercare acknowledgement, and image consent.

An intake form collects client information before the appointment. A consultation form focuses on goals, preferences, and service planning. A consent form records that the client understands and agrees to the service. A waiver records risk acknowledgement or policy agreement. In inkStar, these can be combined into one digital intake form or split into separate service-specific forms.

inkStar's block editor lets you build tattoo studio intake forms from scratch using drag-and-drop blocks. Add text paragraphs, checkboxes, signature fields, date pickers, health screening waiver fields, allergy fields, medical history fields, medical questionnaires, and digital tattoo release form clauses. Reorder sections, preview the intake form on mobile, and save it as a reusable template.

A tattoo client intake form should collect identity details, age confirmation, tattoo placement, size, style, reference images, medical history fields, allergy fields, skin conditions, medication disclosures, health screening waiver fields, consent to tattoo, liability waiver text, aftercare acknowledgement, image consent, deposit or cancellation policy acknowledgement, and an electronic signature.

A salon client intake form usually includes client contact details, requested service, appointment goals, product or treatment history, allergies, sensitivities, current skin or hair condition, previous chemical services, patch test records, consent, policy acknowledgement, and an electronic signature. Beauty salon intake forms can be customized per service, such as facial, lash, waxing, PMU, nail, or hair color appointments.

Each intake form has a unique QR code. Display it on your counter, print it for the waiting area, or include it in booking confirmation emails. Clients scan the code with their phone camera, fill out the form in their browser with no app needed, and sign with their finger. The signed intake form is submitted instantly and linked to their appointment and customer profile.

No. After a client fills out an intake form once, inkStar associates the answers with their customer profile. For a future booking, the client can confirm that their contact details, allergy fields, medical history fields, consent preferences, and waiver data are still up to date, then update only the details that changed.

Yes. As soon as a client signs, inkStar automatically emails them a copy of the completed intake form, so they have their own record without having to ask for one. You can also resend or share a copy from the contract at any time.

Signed forms are kept on file for as long as your legal requirements demand. inkStar doesn't delete anything automatically, and retention periods are configurable per studio. Every signed record also carries its own metadata, so you can open it later and see exactly when it was signed, on which device, and confirm the details behind the signature.

inkStar's e-signatures are designed to support the requirements of the eIDAS Regulation in the EU and the ESIGN Act in the US. Every signature is captured with a timestamp, IP address, device information, and the exact intake form version that was signed. You should still have your final waiver and consent wording reviewed by a qualified legal professional.
