Frequently asked questions
What other types of cover might I need?
If you're keen to enjoy a comprehensive self-employed tattooist insurance policy, you could also consider the following:
- Professional indemnity - in case any advice you give (for example, aftercare advice) leads to illness or injury.
- Product liability - to deal with the scenario of a product you provided causing harm to a third party or their property.
- Breach of professional confidentiality - in the event of sensitive data breaches.
- Libel and slander - if your business or reputation has been impacted by false claims.
Can I add body piercing to my policy?
It's common for tattoo artists also to be trained in body piercing. If you'd like to add cover for this service to your tattoo artist insurance or tattoo shop insurance, this can be easily done thanks to the similarities in risks between piercing and tattooing. Therefore, the cover used to protect the act of tattooing can be used to protect the body piercings you perform.
I'm a mobile tattoo artist. Will my equipment be covered?
You must specify the nature of your work to your insurer. There is a different level of risk associated with transporting expensive equipment from appointment to appointment. Though you can still obtain cover for your kit while on the road, you must ensure this is clearly stated on your policy, or you may be unable to claim damages or loss sustained in transit.
Not every tattoo studio or self-employed tattoo artist will always need every kind of insurance. With Park Insurance, you can pick and mix your tattoo studio insurance cover. That way you know you're getting the level of protection that you need but you're not spending out on anything you don't.
