For the purposes of data protection law, we are the controller of the personal data described in this policy.

We may collect and process the following categories of personal data when you contact us, use the website, or submit a project request.

Your name, email address, phone number, and any other contact details you choose to provide.

Uploaded files

Reference images or other files you choose to upload or send to us.

Form submissions and correspondence

Messages submitted through forms on the website, as well as email correspondence and related records needed for communication, planning, and administration.

Optional information relevant to safety and suitability

If you choose to provide it, we may process limited information relevant to whether a tattoo appointment can be carried out safely and appropriately.

Technical and website usage data

We may collect limited technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, security logs, and similar website-use data needed for security, spam prevention, and site performance.

We collect personal data in the following ways:

We use personal data only where there is a clear purpose connected to communication, service delivery, safety, website operation, or legal/administrative needs.

To respond to inquiries

We use your data to review project requests, reply to your messages, and communicate about consultations, scheduling, and next steps.

To plan and provide services

If your project moves forward, we use relevant data to prepare, schedule, and carry out tattoo services professionally and safely.

To manage the website

We use limited technical data to maintain security, reduce spam and abuse, and support website functionality and performance.

To document permissions

Where consent forms are used, we process the information in those forms to record your choices and permissions.

To improve the website

If analytics tools are enabled, we may use aggregated or anonymized website usage data to understand performance and improve content and usability.

Depending on the situation, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

Steps taken before entering a contract

When you contact us about a tattoo project, consultation, or booking inquiry, we process your information in order to respond and take steps at your request before any agreement is made.

Performance of a contract

If you become a client, we process relevant information in order to schedule, plan, and provide tattoo services.

Legitimate interests

We may process certain data where necessary for legitimate interests such as website security, spam prevention, record-keeping, and the safe administration of the practice.

Consent

Where consent is required — for example for non-essential cookies, optional media permissions, or sensitive information you voluntarily provide — we rely on your consent.

Before an appointment, we may ask you to complete forms that include optional information relevant to health, safety, or suitability for tattooing.

This information is used only to help provide services safely and appropriately. It is not used for marketing.

We collect only the information necessary for that purpose, and only where relevant to the appointment or where you choose to provide it.

We may take photos and/or video of your tattoo for documentation of the work and healed results.

This may include images of the tattooed area and, only if you agree, images in which you may be identifiable.

Documentation

Photos and video may be used for internal documentation of the tattoo, its development, and healed outcome.

Portfolio and marketing

Images or video may be used on the website, social media, print materials, or other portfolio/marketing channels only where appropriate permission has been given.

Your choice

You may be offered different levels of permission, such as documentation only, portfolio use, or wider marketing use.

Changing your preferences

Where consent is the basis for use, you may withdraw consent for future use at any time by contacting: [email protected]

If content has already been published or printed before consent is withdrawn, future use will stop, but material already published may not be fully retractable.

We do not sell your personal data.

We may share data only with service providers necessary to run the website, communicate with you, or deliver services properly.

These providers process data on our behalf under appropriate terms and only to the extent necessary for their role.

Some providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area.

Where this happens, appropriate safeguards are used where required, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or other recognised transfer mechanisms.

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, and for as long as needed to meet administrative, legal, accounting, safety, or record-keeping obligations.

Inquiry and booking request data

If you contact us but do not become a client, inquiry and booking request data is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for communication, planning, and administration.

As a general guideline, this data is reviewed periodically and may be deleted or anonymised when it is no longer needed.

Client, booking, and service-related records

If you become a client, certain records related to your booking, service, consent, communication, and administration may be kept for longer where reasonably necessary for service delivery, legal protection, safety, and record-keeping.

Accounting and payment records

Invoices, payment records, and other accounting documents may be retained for the period required by applicable tax and accounting laws.

Uploaded files

Uploaded reference images and other files are kept only for as long as they are needed for communication, planning, or documentation, and are reviewed periodically.

Consent and documentation records

Where consent records or service-related documentation are needed for safety, administration, legal protection, or compliance, they may be retained for an appropriate period connected to those purposes.

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:
