Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website universityinktattoogallery.com and the tattoo and body piercing services provided by University Ink Tattoo Gallery ("University Ink TX," "we," "us," or "our"). By visiting our website, submitting a booking request, completing a consent form, or receiving services at our studio, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use our website or services.

2. Services

University Ink TX provides custom tattoo art, body piercing, flash designs, and related consultation services at our Kingsville, Texas studio. All services are performed by licensed professionals in compliance with applicable Texas Department of State Health Services regulations. Specific results, healing outcomes, and longevity of any tattoo or piercing cannot be guaranteed, as these depend on individual biology, aftercare, and lifestyle factors.

3. Eligibility & Age Requirements

You must be at least 18 years of age to receive a tattoo and provide valid government-issued photo identification at the time of service. Body piercing for minors may be permitted under Texas law with the physical presence, written consent, and identification of a parent or legal guardian. Misrepresenting your age or identity is a violation of these Terms and Texas law, and services will be refused.

4. Appointments, Deposits & Payment

Booking requests submitted through our website are inquiries and do not constitute a confirmed appointment until acknowledged by our team. We may require a deposit to reserve appointment times and begin custom design work. Deposits are generally non-refundable and applied toward your final service total. Pricing depends on size, complexity, placement, and style, and is finalized during consultation. Payment is due in full upon completion of services unless otherwise arranged.

5. Consent & Medical Disclosure

Prior to any procedure, you must complete a digital consent form, provide valid identification, and truthfully disclose all relevant medical conditions, allergies, and medications. You acknowledge that tattoos and piercings carry inherent risks, including but not limited to infection, allergic reaction, scarring, and fading. You affirm that you are not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of service and that you have followed all pre-service instructions provided by our artists.

6. Aftercare

Proper aftercare is essential to healing and the final appearance of your tattoo or piercing. We provide written aftercare instructions following every procedure. You are solely responsible for following these instructions. We are not liable for complications, poor healing, or damage resulting from failure to follow aftercare guidelines.

7. Intellectual Property

All custom designs, flash artwork, photography, and content created by University Ink TX artists remain our intellectual property unless otherwise agreed in writing. We reserve the right to photograph completed work and display it in our portfolio, on our website, and across social media for promotional purposes. Original client-provided references remain the property of their respective owners.

8. User-Generated Content

When you submit reviews, ratings, or images, you grant University Ink TX a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, and use that content on our website and marketing channels. You warrant that you own the content you submit and that it does not infringe the rights of any third party. We reserve the right to remove, edit, or decline any submitted content at our discretion.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, University Ink TX shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of our website or services, or from any complications related to a tattoo or piercing procedure, except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12. Refund Policy
