General terms

Clear agreements make for a good session. These are the terms for appointments, tattoos and gift cards at Hamu Ink.

1. Who I am

Chiara Faes, trading as Hamu Ink, Esdoornstraat 15, 2860 Sint-Katelijne-Waver, Belgium. Business number BE 1008.566.012. Email info@hamu-ink.be · Phone +32 494 99 58 06.

2. When these terms apply

These terms apply to every appointment, tattoo, design and gift card from Hamu Ink. By booking an appointment or buying a gift card, you accept them.

3. Appointments

  • Hamu Ink works by appointment only, in a private home studio. You can book through the online calendar, by email or via Instagram.
  • Can't make it? Please let me know as early as possible, so the moment can go to someone else. There is currently no deposit and no cancellation fee.

4. Age

I only tattoo people aged 18 and over. I may ask you to show an ID.

5. Health, information and consent

  • Before the session you receive written information about the risks and the aftercare, and you sign a consent form, as required by the Royal Decree of 25 November 2005 on tattoos and piercings.
  • You always get time to think it over. You never have to decide on the spot.
  • Tell me honestly about anything that may affect your safety, such as pregnancy, medication, allergies or a skin or health condition.
  • I can refuse or postpone a session if it is not safe, for example in the situations listed in the FAQ.

6. Prices and payment

  • The shop minimum is €60. The price depends on the size, the amount of detail and the placement, and is agreed with you before the session.
  • You pay after the session, in cash or with Payconiq.

7. Designs and copyright

  • Every design I draw remains my creative work and I keep the copyright.
  • You get the right to wear the tattoo. The drawing may not be copied, sold, shared as a template or tattooed by someone else without my written permission.
  • Photos of your tattoo are only posted on this website or on social media with your consent.

8. Aftercare and touch-ups

  • Follow the aftercare instructions carefully. How a tattoo heals also depends on your skin and how you look after it.
  • A touch-up within 6 weeks after the session is free, provided the aftercare was followed. After that, a touch-up is charged.

9. Gift cards

  • A gift card is valid for 1 year from the date of purchase and can be used towards any session at Hamu Ink.
  • Every card has a unique serial number registered by Hamu Ink. Only registered cards are valid.
  • Gift cards are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for cash.
  • Appointments with a gift card must be booked in advance.
  • A gift card cannot be combined with other offers, discounts or promotions.

10. Liability

I work carefully and according to the legal hygiene rules. To the extent the law allows, I am not liable for problems caused by not following the aftercare instructions, or by health information that was not shared before the session.

11. Privacy

How I handle your personal data is explained in the privacy statement.

12. Questions, complaints and disputes

Not happy about something? Please contact me first at info@hamu-ink.be; I will look for a solution together with you. If we cannot agree, you can contact the Consumer Mediation Service (consumentenombudsdienst.be). Belgian law applies.
