COVER
The full studio program

Coverage, sharpened line by line.

Tattoo studio insurance, done properly: one tailored program that wraps every exposure a body art studio actually carries — from tattoo liability insurance to property, cyber and the convention floor — placed with established carriers and read to you in plain language.

The core four

Liability, built for the needle

I
Professional liability

Malpractice & healed result

Defends the work itself — alleged injury, infection, scarring, allergic reaction or a healed result a client disputes. The coverage generic policies quietly leave out.

II
General liability

Premises & the public

Slips, trips, falls and third party property damage on your floor. The everyday coverage landlords and conventions ask to see before you set up.

III
Products liability

Aftercare & retail

Ointments, balms, jewelry and the products you sell or send home with clients — protected if one is alleged to cause harm.

IV
Communicable conditions

Bloodborne coverage

Targeted coverage for the cross contamination and bloodborne pathogen claims unique to tattoo, piercing and PMU work.

Round it out

Endorsements & add ons

Bolt on exactly what your studio needs — nothing you don't.

Property

Contents & fit out

Stations, furniture, art and improvements at replacement cost — fire, theft and water.

Income

Business interruption

Lost revenue and fixed costs when an insured event forces the lights out.

Equipment

Breakdown & portable gear

Machines, autoclaves, lasers and lighting — and the kit you carry to guest spots.

Digital

Cyber & client data

Booking systems, deposits and the personal data you hold on every client.

People

Workers’ compensation

Statutory coverage for employed artists and front of house staff, state by state (in Washington, handled through the Department of Labor & Industries).

On the road

Guest & convention

Short term certificates for guest spots, expos and pop ups — issued same day.

  • Hired & non owned auto for studio errands
  • Umbrella / excess liability up to $5M
  • Additional insured & waiver of subrogation for landlords
  • Tenant’s improvements & betterments
  • Sign & glass, money & securities
  • Apprentice & guest artist endorsements
Specialty coverage

Cannabis & paraphernalia sales

Some studios sell cannabis paraphernalia alongside the ink. NRG insures that retail exposure — coverage most body art policies simply refuse — so a side counter never leaves a gap in your protection.

The fine print, in plain ink

What a generic policy quietly leaves out.

Most retail business owner’s policies exclude the exact things that put a studio at risk. We read the exclusions so you don’t learn them during a claim, when it is too late.
