How to make a microblading consent form (free)
A signed consent and intake form is the single most important piece of paperwork in a microblading or PMU studio — and the one most new artists skip until an insurer or an unhappy client forces the issue. This free generator lets any microblading or permanent-makeup artist build a professional, branded microblading consent form in three steps, with no legal templates to buy and no design skills required.
Three steps
- Add your studio details. Type your business name, artist name, contact details and the service. Upload your logo for a branded, letterhead-style form.
- Edit the questions. We pre-fill the standard PMU medical-history questions and consent acknowledgments. Add, remove or reword any line to match your services and local rules.
- Download. Export a print-ready Letter-size PDF, print a stack, and have every client complete and sign one before their appointment.
A consent form and a client intake form in one
You do not need two separate documents. Because this generator collects the client's contact details and full medical history and captures a signed acknowledgment of the risks, healing and aftercare, it works as a combined microblading consent form and client intake form. New clients fill in one branded microblading intake form at their first appointment — their details, medications and skin history sit on the same page as the consent they sign, so you have everything on a single sheet in your records. Reword any question to build the exact intake form your studio uses.
Why every microblading artist needs a signed consent form
Microblading and permanent makeup break the skin to deposit pigment, so a small but real percentage of clients experience infection, an allergic reaction, or healing that fades unevenly — sometimes because of a medication or condition they never mentioned. A signed consent and intake form does three things at once. It captures the client's medical history so you can spot contraindications like blood thinners, accutane or keloid scarring before you start. It documents that you explained the risks, the healing process and that a touch-up is usually needed. And it gives you written protection if a client later disputes their results.
Most professional liability insurers for PMU and beauty artists require a signed consent form on file for every client, and will ask to see it if a claim is ever made. Treating consent as routine — not optional — is what separates a hobbyist from a studio that gets referrals and keeps its insurance valid.
What to include in a microblading consent form
Client information
Full name, date of birth, phone, email, emergency contact and the appointment date. Date of birth matters because microblading is almost always restricted to adults and many regions require proof of age.
Medical history checklist
- Allergies to pigments, topical anaesthetic, latex or metals.
- Blood thinners, aspirin, fish oil or a bleeding disorder.
- Diabetes, autoimmune conditions or a history of keloid scarring.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Recent Botox or filler in the brow area.
- Accutane, Retin-A or other retinoid use.
- Eczema, psoriasis or active skin conditions near the brows.
- Any previous reaction to microblading, PMU or tattoos.
Consent and acknowledgment
A short set of statements confirming that the procedure, the healing process and aftercare were explained, that the client understands microblading is semi-permanent and that colour and longevity vary, that a touch-up is usually required, that they understand the possible risks, that the information they gave is accurate, that they agree to follow aftercare, and — if you market your work — that they consent to before/after photos. Finish with dated signature lines for both the client and the artist.
Print it or keep it on file
Print the PDF as Letter-size forms and keep a signed copy for every client in a binder or scanned folder. A clean, branded form takes a minute to fill in at the start of an appointment and quietly tells the client that your studio is professional, careful and worth trusting with a semi-permanent result.
Frequently asked questions
- Do microblading artists legally need a consent form?
- In most places a signed consent and intake form is required by your insurer and by local health or licensing rules before any microblading or PMU procedure. Always confirm your own state or country's specific requirements.
- Is this consent form generator really free?
- Yes — build, edit and download a printable PDF for free. The free version carries a small watermark; a one-time Pro upgrade removes it so you can hand clients a clean, fully branded form.
- Does this work for other PMU services?
- Yes. Change the "procedure" field to powder brows, ombré brows, nano brows, lip blush or any PMU service, and reword the questions to match — the form title and content update automatically.
- Can I use this as a client intake form too?
- Yes. The form collects contact details and a full medical history alongside the consent statements, so it doubles as a microblading client intake form — one branded sheet instead of two. Reword any field to match the intake questions your studio already asks.
- Can I add my own clauses or change the wording?
- Yes. Every medical question and consent statement is fully editable, so you can match your services, pigments and local requirements.
