Health Risk Advisory. I understand that there are inherent health risks associated with ear piercing including, but not limited to, allergic reactions, skin infections, tissue damage, nerve damage, prolonged bleeding, swelling, hypertrophic scarring, a decreased ability of physicians to locate skin melanoma in regions concealed by body art, febrile illness, tetanus, systemic infection, keloid formation, pain and general discomfort. Such complications may occur at the location of the piercing or elsewhere on the body. There are increased risks for adolescents during certain stages of development. Additionally, existing medical conditions, or a history of certain medical conditions, such as allergies; heart disease; diabetes; hemophilia (bleeding); skin disorders; skin disease; skin lesions; skin sensitivities to soaps, disinfectants, etc.; skin cancer; allergies, anaphylactic reaction, or other adverse reaction to pigment, dyes, or other sensitivities; epilepsy, seizures, fainting, or narcolepsy; peripheral nerve disease; any deficiency of the immune or circulatory system; use of medications such as anticoagulants, which thin the blood or interfere with blood clotting; hepatitis; HIV; a history of infection; pregnancy; conditions that affect the immune system; or any other known or unknown medical condition may increase the risk of complications from ear piercing. I hereby represent that I have been advised to consult with a physician prior to the procedure if the Customer falls into any of the above heightened risk categories; and that I have consulted with a physician regarding any concerns I may have regarding the potential health risks that obtaining the above-described piercing may pose to the Customer. NOTWITHSTANDING THESE RISKS, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY CHOOSING TO PROCEED WITH THE PIERCING PROCEDURE WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE RISKS INVOLVED.

I understand that, despite Rowan’s best efforts and the Customer’s proper after care, the potential for infection or other medical complications still exists.

I have read, understand, and agree to follow each step of the instructions regarding Piercing Aftercare which has also been explained to me verbally. Further, I understand that since Rowan will not have the opportunity to monitor my at-home after care, it is solely my responsibility to follow the Piercing Aftercare instructions provided at the time of the ear piercing.
