A question that comes up often is…

Why would you need treatment risk as a tattoo artist/body piercer?

In this blog post, we break down the key reasons that treatment risk cover is an important addition to your Insurance cover that you really shouldn’t be overlooking.

As a tattoo artist, treatment risk insurance is crucial because it protects you from potential claims arising from treatments you perform, such as tattooing, body piercing, or tattoo removal.

Here are a few reasons why it’s important:

Infection and Complications: Despite following all safety protocols, there’s always a risk of clients developing infections or other complications after a tattoo or piercing. Treatment risk insurance covers you in case a client claims that the infection or complication was due to your work.

Professional Liability: This insurance covers claims related to professional services, including the advice, and treatment. It ensures that you’re protected if a client is unhappy with the outcome and decides to take legal action.

Financial Protection: If a client sues you for damages related to a treatment, treatment risk insurance helps cover legal fees and any compensation you might have to pay.

Business Continuity: Having the right insurance in place helps ensure that your business can continue to operate smoothly even if you face a claim or lawsuit.

*The above is strictly subject to policy terms and conditions and individual levels of cover you have selected.

A common mistake is confusing Public Liability for “Treatment Risk” and you can read more about what Public Liability covers in our previous blog post.
