Platform Role and Scope of Services

Inker is a digital platform for discovery, communication, booking facilitation, and payment facilitation within the tattoo industry. The Platform enables Users to discover Artists and Studios, communicate, initiate bookings, process payments, and coordinate tattoo services, job opportunities, guest spots, and events.

Inker acts solely as a facilitation platform and is not:

• A tattoo service provider
• A medical or body art professional
• An employer, recruiter, staffing agency, or booking agent
• A party to any tattoo service agreement
• An agent or representative of any User

All tattoo services, employment relationships, bookings, and other arrangements occur directly between Users. Inker does not supervise, control, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any such services or outcomes.

Eligibility and Age Requirements

You must be at least 18 years old to create an Account or use the Platform unless otherwise permitted by applicable law.

Tattoo laws and age requirements vary by jurisdiction. In some locations, tattoo services may be legally provided to minors with parental or guardian consent. Inker does not verify age, consent, identification, or legal eligibility.

Artists, Studios, and Users are solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws, including age restrictions, consent requirements, licensing, and health regulations. Inker disclaims all responsibility for determining the legality of any tattoo service or booking.

Fees, Bookings, and Payments

The Platform enables Users to initiate bookings and process payments for tattoo related services.

Inker may collect platform service fees, booking fees, or transaction fees in connection with facilitating access to the Platform, booking tools, and payment processing. Any applicable fees are disclosed prior to payment.

Artists determine their own pricing for tattoo services. Inker does not perform tattoo services and does not control how Artists deliver their services.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise:

• Inker's fees relate solely to use of the Platform and facilitation services
• Inker is not a party to the tattoo service itself
• Artists remain solely responsible for fulfilling booked services
• Refunds, cancellations, disputes, and service quality issues are governed by Artist policies and applicable law

Payments may be processed through third party payment providers. Inker is not a bank, escrow agent, or financial institution. Additional terms from payment providers may apply.

Inker may suspend, restrict, remove, or permanently ban any account involved in this activity and may preserve and share relevant evidence with service providers, platforms, law enforcement, or legal counsel where appropriate.
