Tattoo Insurance for Agents & Brokers

Tattoo insurance provides coverage for the unique risks and liabilities associated with the beauty industry. Our policies include professional & general liability with additional optional coverages to customize coverage based on your client’s needs.

Yes, they can be. If they are employees of the insured, they should have them covered under their policy. If they are independent contractors who are working under your client’s business name then we can also include them. If they are working under a different business name then they will need to obtain their own coverage and name your client as an additional insured.

We can extend coverage to guests artists/piercers as long as they have at least one year experience and do not stay more than 30 days. To add a guest artist/piercer we would need to be contacted before they start to add them to the policy.

The cost of tattoo insurance can vary based on several factors. Insurance providers consider these factors when determining the premium for a policy. Here are some key factors that influence the cost of tattoo insurance:

1. Size and scope of business – The size of your business, whether you have a shop or you are an individual artist can impact the insurance cost. Larger risks with more artists and offer more services may have higher premiums due to an increased risk and liability associated with more clients coming into the shop.
2. Type of service – Some services are more invasive than others which create more long term problems if a claim were to arise. Therefore the type of services being performed may impact the insurance cost.
3. Claims history – Insurance companies consider the claims history of your tattoo business when determining the cost of coverage. If you have a history of claims, it may result in higher premiums.
4. Safety measures and risk management practices – Insurance providers assess the safety measures and risk management practices implemented by your business. Having robust safety protocols, ensuring your employees and you are properly trained for all services being performed and regular maintenance practices can help lower insurance costs by reducing the likelihood of accidents and claims.

Yes, tattoo insurance policies typically have exclusions or limitation that outline specific situation or circumstances where coverage may not apply or may be limited. These exclusions and limitation can vary depending on the service being provided. It’s important to carefully review your insurance quote and policy and understand the exclusions and limitation that may apply.
