Coverage

Protection Designed for Tattoo Studios

Every policy covers the risks tattoo shops actually face — not generic small-business boilerplate.

General Liability

Covers third-party bodily injury and property damage claims — slip and fall, client allergic reactions, accidents in the shop.

Professional / Tattoo Liability

Errors and omissions coverage for claims about your actual tattoo work — bad results, client dissatisfaction, artist mistakes.

Property & Equipment

Protects your machines, furniture, artwork on the walls, shop buildout, and personal property inside the studio.

Business Interruption

Replaces lost income if a covered event — fire, water damage, forced closure — shuts your shop down temporarily.

Communicable Disease

Defense if a client alleges they contracted an infection from your shop. $25K+ coverage included — not an add-on.

Products & Completed Ops

Covers claims from finished work, inks, aftercare products, and supplies you use or sell — even after the client leaves.

Why It Matters

Generic Policies Miss What 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

  • Licensed agents who understand body art industry risks

FAQ

Common Questions

Who is InkShopGuard for?

InkShopGuard is built specifically for tattoo shops, independent tattoo artists, body piercers, permanent makeup artists, and barbershops in California. If you put ink to skin or run a shop that does, this is for you.

How fast can I get a quote?

The self-serve quote form takes about 3 minutes. We review submissions quickly and aim to have a tailored quote back to you within 24 hours. Or call now and speak with a licensed agent immediately during business hours.

What does the coverage include?

InkShopGuard covers general liability, professional/tattoo liability, property and equipment, business interruption, products and completed operations, communicable disease defense ($25K+), and assault and battery claims ($25K+). Coverage is tailored to the risks tattoo shops face daily.

What is InkAway Protect?

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.

Is this available outside California?

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.

Do I need a separate policy for each artist?

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.

How much does it cost?

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.
