This website, thirstyforink.com, belongs to George Hristov, a tattoo artist working under the name Thirsty for Ink in Huntsville, Alabama ("I", "me", "my"). This page explains what information I collect, why, and what I do with it.

 

What I collect

• When you book a consultation: your name, phone number, email address, and the date and time you pick. The booking form may also ask about your tattoo idea.

• When you text or call me: your phone number and the messages you send to my business line.

• When you visit this website: basic technical information, such as pages visited, device and browser type. This is collected by cookies from my website host (Wix) and the Meta Pixel, which help me see whether my ads bring people to the site.

• Photos of your tattoo: only with your permission, which you give in the paperwork you sign at your appointment.

 

How I use it

• To schedule, confirm and remind you about consultations and appointments, including reminder texts the day before.

• To answer your questions and follow up about your tattoo, for example aftercare.

• To share photos of my work on my website and social media (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok), only with your permission.

• To understand how people find my website and improve my ads.

• To show my ads to people similar to my clients on Facebook and Instagram (see "Meta ads" below).

 

Who I share it with

I don't sell your information. I only use services that help me run my business: my website and booking tools, my calendar, my business phone service, and the social media platforms where I post my work. They handle your information only to provide those services.

 

Meta ads: If you book with me, I may upload your name, phone number or email to Meta (Facebook and Instagram) in a secure, scrambled (hashed) form. Meta uses it only to match it to accounts so I can show my ads to people with similar interests, or avoid showing you ads you don't need, then deletes it. Meta doesn't use it for its own marketing. To opt out, email or call me and I'll remove you from any list I upload.

 

Text messages: I don't share your mobile number or your consent to receive texts with anyone for their own marketing.

 

Text messages

If you book with me, you may get appointment reminders and aftercare texts from my business number, (938) 666-6977. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop receiving texts, or HELP for help.

 

Social media apps

I use connected tools to publish my own photos and videos to my own Instagram, Facebook and TikTok accounts. These tools only access my business accounts. They don't collect information from visitors to this website or from other TikTok, Instagram or Facebook users.

 

How long I keep it

I keep booking and appointment details for as long as I need them to serve you and keep basic business records, then delete them.

 

Your choices

You can ask me to see, correct or delete your information, or ask me to remove a photo of your tattoo, at any time. Email areyou.thirstyforink@gmail.com or call (938) 666-6977. You can also block cookies in your browser.

 

Children

This website is meant for adults. I don't knowingly collect information from children under 13.

 

Changes

If I change this policy, I'll update the date at the top of this page.
