Terms of Service
Last Updated: March 12, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Black Ink Atelier website and any related contact or booking request features. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the website.
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms are an agreement between you and Black Ink Atelier LLC (“Black Ink Atelier,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The Terms apply to visitors, prospective clients, and anyone who uses the website, including the contact form. Our Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference and explains how we process personal data.
Minimum age: you must be at least 16 years old to use the website. If you are under 16, please do not submit personal information through our forms. If you are a minor in your jurisdiction, a parent or legal guardian must supervise your use of the website.
2. Tattoo Studio Disclaimers
The website provides general information about our studio, artists, services, and typical workflows. Information on this website is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for professional medical guidance. If you have questions about allergies, medical conditions, medications, or wound healing, consult a licensed healthcare professional before booking.
- All services are performed by professional tattoo artists following studio protocols.
- We follow sanitation standards and safety practices appropriate for a professional tattoo studio.
- Clients are responsible for their final decisions on design and placement. If you want to reconsider, tell us during the stencil stage.
Individual outcomes vary. Tattoo appearance depends on placement, skin characteristics, adherence to aftercare, and natural aging. No specific result is guaranteed.
3. Service Description and Website Availability
The website is intended to help you learn about Black Ink Atelier and request a quote or consultation. We may update, change, or discontinue any part of the website at any time, including features, content, availability, or supported devices and browsers.
We aim to keep information accurate, but content may be incomplete, out of date, or subject to change (for example: artist availability, scheduling windows, or service descriptions). The website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
4. Contact and Booking Requests
Submitting a form on the website is a request to be contacted. It does not guarantee an appointment, confirm pricing, or create a binding contract for services. We may request additional information to clarify your brief (for example, placement, size, or reference description) before confirming next steps.
When you contact us, you agree to provide accurate and non-misleading information. Do not send sensitive personal information through the website (such as government ID numbers, financial account details, or any special-category data). If you choose to share additional details, you do so at your discretion.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to misuse the website. Prohibited conduct includes:
- Attempting to access non-public areas of the website, servers, or systems.
- Bypassing or attempting to bypass security controls, rate limits, or anti-bot protections.
- Submitting false, fraudulent, or misleading information through forms.
- Sending malware, automated requests, scraping, or other abusive traffic.
- Impersonating any person or entity, or misrepresenting affiliation.
- Using the website to transmit spam, phishing content, or unsolicited promotional material.
- Using the website in violation of applicable laws, regulations, or sanctions.
We may restrict or block access, in whole or in part, if we believe activity is abusive or threatens the website’s integrity, availability, or security.
6. Intellectual Property
All website content, including text, layout, design elements, and branding, is owned by or licensed to Black Ink Atelier LLC and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may view and use the website for your personal, non-commercial purposes.
You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly display, or create derivative works from the website content without our prior written permission, except where such use is permitted by law.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
The website may reference third-party services used for normal operations (for example, embedded maps on certain pages). We are not responsible for third-party content, policies, or practices. Your use of third-party services is governed by their terms and privacy policies.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components. Any reliance on information provided on the website is at your own risk.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Black Ink Atelier LLC and its owners, employees, contractors, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, or reputational harm, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the website.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total direct liability for claims arising out of or relating to the website is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for services in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $100.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Black Ink Atelier LLC from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to your misuse of the website, your violation of these Terms, or your submission of unlawful or infringing content or information.
11. Force Majeure
We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, fire, flood, war, terrorism, labor disruptions, public health emergencies, power outages, internet or telecommunications failures, cyberattacks, or third-party hosting failures.
12. International Use
We make no representation that the website is appropriate or available for use in all locations. Accessing the website from territories where its content is unlawful is prohibited. You are responsible for compliance with local laws and regulations.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent permitted by law, you agree that courts located in Los Angeles County, California will have jurisdiction over disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the website.
If you are a consumer residing outside the United States, you may have mandatory consumer protection rights under your local laws, and nothing in these Terms limits those rights where they apply.
14. Dispute Resolution
Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us and provide a brief written description of the issue and the relief requested. We will try to resolve disputes informally within 30 days.
If informal resolution is unsuccessful, either party may pursue a claim in a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to the governing law and venue provisions above.
15. Termination
We may suspend or terminate access to the website for any person who violates these Terms or engages in activity that we believe is harmful, unlawful, or abusive. Sections relating to intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law will survive termination.
16. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
17. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, form the entire agreement between you and Black Ink Atelier LLC regarding the website, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understandings related to the website.
18. Assignment
We may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent.
19. No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision.
20. Modifications to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will become effective 14 days after they are posted on this page, unless a change is required by law or is necessary to address security issues immediately. The “Last Updated” date at the top indicates the latest revision.
