Coverage
Every policy covers the risks tattoo shops actually face — not generic small-business boilerplate.
Covers third-party bodily injury and property damage claims — slip and fall, client allergic reactions, accidents in the shop.
Errors and omissions coverage for claims about your actual tattoo work — bad results, client dissatisfaction, artist mistakes.
Protects your machines, furniture, artwork on the walls, shop buildout, and personal property inside the studio.
Replaces lost income if a covered event — fire, water damage, forced closure — shuts your shop down temporarily.
Defense if a client alleges they contracted an infection from your shop. $25K+ coverage included — not an add-on.
Covers claims from finished work, inks, aftercare products, and supplies you use or sell — even after the client leaves.
Why It Matters
Standard business insurance wasn't built for tattoo shops. It doesn't account for needle risks, ink reactions, communicable disease exposure, or the unique liability that comes with permanent body art. You need coverage that understands what you actually do.
Covers tattoo-specific professional liability — not just generic E&O
Communicable disease and assault & battery included, not bolted on

InkAway Protect is optional client-facing coverage you can offer at point of sale. It covers your clients for tattoo regret, cover-ups, mishaps, and laser removal — meaning fewer claims back against your shop and an added revenue stream for your business.
InkShopGuard is licensed in 48 states plus DC. This campaign is focused on California tattoo shops, but coverage may be available in your state. Talk to an agent to find out.
That depends on your shop structure. A shop policy can cover employed artists, but independent contractors may need their own. An agent can walk you through what makes sense for your setup — call or request a quote and we'll sort it out.
Pricing depends on your shop size, number of artists, location, and coverage needs. The fastest way to find out is to request a quote or talk to an agent — there's no obligation.
