In the event that guest tattoo artists are working in the studio, they have given their consent that the terms and conditions of the studio also apply to their work during their entire stay in the studio.

3. At the beginning of the tattoo, a stencil is usually applied to the skin by the tattoo artist. The customer takes a close look at both, the positioning and the content of the template and checks it for any errors (esp. letters and numbers). Before the tattoo begins the customer informs the tattoo artist about any change requests or errors. With the start of work, the customer consents to the positioning and content of the work.

§ 5 Rights and obligations of the studio and tattoo artist

1. Before the appointment, the customer will be informed about the procedure and its associated risks.
2. The studio or the tattoo artist can reject carrying out a work. In particular this occurs under the following circumstances:
1. The tattoo motive is the work of another tattoo artist, which is to be copied or it is a style that does not correspond to the tattoo artist.
2. Due to their size, the template or motive does not allow a permanently good job (blurring of contours, run in to empty spaces).
3. The content of the work is in considerable contradiction to the inner conviction of the studio owner or the tattoo artist.
3. The copyrights and exploitation rights of a tattoo design always remain at the tattoo artist.
4. According to § 642 of the German Civil Code (BGB), we would like to point out that the studio or the tattoo artist have the right, to demand reasonable compensation (please refer to § 3), if the customer does not appear to the agreed appointment without punctual cancellation (please refer to § 2 no. 2). The studio or the tattoo artist also have the right to cancel all further appointments of the customer, according to § 643 of the German Civil Code (BGB).
5. If the customer consents in the photograph of the finished work by the tattoo artist or the studio, both the tattoo artist and the studio have the unrestricted right to use, duplicate and publish it free of charge.

1. Every customer can buy gift vouchers for a minimum amount of 50 euros.
2. The vouchers are available in the studio or (in consultation with the studio) by post road.

4. Vouchers are valid up to two years from the date of issue.
5. Vouchers will not be paid out, not even in partial amounts.

§ 8 Exclusion of liability

1. We cannot assume any liability for complications in wound healing and any consequences that may result from them (wound infection, scarring, damage of the tattoo etc.).

2. Court of jurisdiction is Bispingen.
3.
