The content published on this website is intended primarily for educational, informational and entertainment purposes.

2. Acceptance of the Terms

By accessing or using The Tattooist Craft, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms & Conditions.

If you do not agree with these terms, you should discontinue your use of the website.

3. Informational Content

The articles, guides, calculators and other materials published on The Tattooist Craft are provided for general informational purposes.

Although reasonable efforts are made to provide accurate and useful information, historical, cultural and technical information may evolve as new research or sources become available.

The Tattooist Craft does not guarantee that every piece of information will always be complete, current or free from error.

Historical and cultural articles may discuss beliefs, traditions and practices belonging to different cultures. Descriptions of supernatural, spiritual, religious or magical properties represent the traditions or beliefs being discussed and should not be interpreted as scientifically established facts.

4. Tattoo-Related Content

Information concerning tattoos, tattooing techniques, traditional tattoo practices, tattoo history or tattoo culture is provided for educational and cultural purposes.

Nothing published on this website should be considered medical or professional healthcare advice.

Tattooing involves risks, including infection, allergic reactions, scarring and other complications. Anyone considering a tattoo should consult a qualified professional and, where appropriate, a healthcare professional.

The Tattooist Craft is not responsible for decisions made solely on the basis of information published on this website.

5. Brewing and Alcohol-Related Content

The Tattooist Craft may contain information about craft beer, brewing methods, recipes, fermentation and brewing calculations.

This information is intended for educational purposes and for adults who are legally permitted to produce or consume alcoholic beverages in their jurisdiction.

Users are responsible for complying with the laws applicable in their country or region regarding the production, possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Alcohol should be consumed responsibly.

6. Brewing Calculators and Tools

The website may provide brewing calculators and other interactive tools.

Calculations are provided as estimates and may depend on formulas, assumptions and data entered by the user. Actual brewing results can vary depending on ingredients, equipment, measurement accuracy, process conditions and other factors.

The results produced by these tools should therefore be treated as guidance rather than guaranteed outcomes.

Users remain responsible for verifying calculations when accuracy is particularly important.

7. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, original text, graphics, designs, branding and other original material published on The Tattooist Craft are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may access and use the website for personal and non-commercial purposes.

You may not reproduce, republish, sell, systematically copy or redistribute substantial portions of original content from this website without prior permission, except where permitted by applicable law.

Brief quotations may be used for legitimate purposes such as commentary, criticism or reference where permitted by law and where appropriate attribution is provided.

8. Images and Third-Party Materials

Some articles may contain historical photographs, reference images, quotations or other materials originating from third-party sources.

Where applicable, ownership remains with the respective copyright holders.

If you are a copyright owner or authorised representative and believe that material published on this website infringes your rights, please contact The Tattooist Craft. Legitimate requests will be reviewed and appropriate action will be taken where necessary.

9. External Links

The Tattooist Craft may contain links to external websites for references, further reading, sources, products or other relevant information.

External websites are operated independently and are outside the control of The Tattooist Craft.

The presence of an external link does not necessarily constitute endorsement of all information, products or services available through that website.

The Tattooist Craft is not responsible for the content, availability, privacy practices or security of third-party websites.

Cookies are small files stored on a visitor’s device and can be used to provide essential website functionality, remember preferences or, where applicable, support analytics and third-party services.

Essential cookies may be used where necessary for the website to function and generally do not require consent.

Where legally required, non-essential cookies, such as certain analytics, advertising or third-party tracking cookies, should only be activated after the visitor has provided the appropriate consent.

Visitors should be able to accept or reject optional cookies and, where applicable, change or withdraw their choices.

16. Third-Party Services

The website may use or embed services provided by third parties, for example website hosting, security services, analytics platforms, embedded videos, social-media content or other external services.

These providers may process certain technical or personal information according to their own privacy policies and applicable data-protection laws.

Where third-party content requires non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies, such technologies should not be activated before the required consent has been obtained.

17. International Data Transfers

Some third-party service providers may process information outside Romania or the European Economic Area.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, appropriate legal safeguards should be used where required under applicable data-protection legislation.

The specific safeguards depend on the service provider and destination involved.

  • request deletion of your personal data in applicable circumstances;
  • request restriction of processing;
  • object to certain processing;
  • receive certain data in a portable format;
  • withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that was lawfully carried out before the consent was withdrawn.

Requests concerning these rights can be submitted using the contact information provided in this policy.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data-protection supervisory authority if you believe that your personal data has been processed unlawfully.

19. Data Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, accidental loss or destruction.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information on the Internet can provide absolute security.
