This website is operated by Pham Minh Phuc (Minh Pham), Founder and Lead Artist of Hyper Inkers Tattoo Studio. My commitment is to provide high-quality custom body art in a safe, professional, and private environment. This Privacy Policy explains how I gather, use, and protect your information when you visit my studio, use my website minhphamtattoo.com, or contact me about tattoo services.
Information I Collect
I may collect certain types of information about you to help manage your booking and deliver a personalized tattoo experience:
- Personal Contact Information: I collect your name, phone number, and email address when you book an appointment, submit an inquiry via my contact forms, or communicate with me regarding a design.
- Identification Information: To comply with Texas State law, I must verify that you are 18 years of age or older. I may request to view a valid, government-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license or passport). I typically do not store copies of your ID after verification unless specifically required by law for record-keeping purposes.
- Appointment Details: I collect specific details regarding your scheduled sessions, including the date, time, and the nature of the custom tattoo service you are requesting (e.g., style, placement, size).
- Payment Information: To process deposits and final payments, I may collect information necessary for transactions, such as identifiers associated with Zelle, Cash App, or PayPal. If you pay by card, your information is processed directly by the third-party payment processors used at Hyper Inkers; I do not store your full credit card number on my personal systems.
- Communication Records: I maintain records of our communications, including emails regarding design consultations or phone call logs regarding rescheduling, to ensure I deliver exactly what we discussed.
How I Use Your Information
I use the data collected for specific business purposes related to my tattoo services:
- To manage, confirm, and schedule your appointments.

Disclosure of Your Information
I value your trust and do not sell your personal data to third parties. As the Founder of Hyper Inkers, your information may be shared in the following circumstances to ensure smooth operations:
- Hyper Inkers Internal Staff: Your booking details may be accessible to the Hyper Inkers management team (e.g., front desk or shop manager) solely for the purpose of scheduling and shop administration.
- By Law or to Protect Rights: I may disclose your information if I believe it is necessary to respond to legal processes, to investigate potential violations of my policies, or to comply with any applicable law, rule, or regulation. Additionally, I reserve the right to share information if it is strictly necessary to protect the rights, property, and physical safety of myself, the Hyper Inkers staff, or other clients.

Data Retention
I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. This includes managing your tattoo appointments, maintaining accurate financial records for tax compliance, and adhering to my legal obligations, dispute resolution needs, or agreement enforcement.
Regarding age verification, I do not store copies or specific details of your government-issued ID beyond the immediate point of verification, unless specifically mandated by law.
