Tattoo artist and studio insurance

Not all insurers will work with tattooists. But at James Hallam, we take pride in helping licensed tattoo artists and tattoo studios access the specialist cover they need at a competitive price.

Why Tattoo Artists Need Insurance

Getting a tattoo is a major life choice, and customers are taking a risk when they choose to use your services. They trust you to get it right, and to keep them safe before, during, and after the process.

If something goes wrong, it can result in serious injuries, and seriously costly claims for you and your business. But specialist tattoo artist insurance can cover you, your studio, and your customers for all of the unique risks associated with your work.

Beyond this, your insurance can also cover you for standard business risks. You can cover your equipment for repairs or replacements following loss, theft, or damage, and your studio for fire, flood, vandalism, and other risks.

What insurance do tattoo artists need?

24 hour gyms can benefits from a range of insurance cover, including:

Public and Employer’s Liability – Cover for any accidents and injuries that staff, customers, or other members of the public might sustain on your premises. This is particularly important cover for 24 hour gyms, as it can extend to periods when your gym is unsupervised.
Professional Liability Insurance – This can cover you and your gym for injury or harm caused as a result of negligence, errors or omissions – such as poor advice or instruction from trainers.
Buildings and Contents – This will cover your gym premises, as well as your equipment, along with any fixtures, fittings, and furniture, for repairs or replacements following loss, damage, or theft.
Business Interruption – Your customers chose you because you operate around the clock. If you ever need to temporarily close due to an unexpected event, you will lose income, and some of your customers may demand refunds or discounts. But business interruption insurance can cover your overheads, along with any other loss of income, until you are able to open again.
