Tribal Ink has broken the coverage down into three distinct choices.


Barbed wire: A simple liability policy 300,000/500,000 for the small tattoo, body piercing shop, and shops that perform cosmetic tattoos and permanent make-up. Starting premium is around $750 a year for tattoo parlors earning well under $150,000 in gross revenue and with up to 5 Artist / Piercers or up to 8 Artist. If you are a piercing shop with one piercing artist the starting premium is slightly more. This simple policy does not cover personal property. But can be altered to add coverage for personal property and land lords if need be. Please fill out the attached quote. Tribal Ink will review your qualifications and will contact you to go over the proper coverage.

Tramp Stamp: By far the coverage most tattoo parlors, cosmetic tattoo shops, and piercing shops will fall under. It offers liability coverage from 500,000/1,000,000 and above. Starting premium is around $1200 a year with Professional Coverage for tattoo parlors slightly higher for a piercing shop, earning under $300,000 in gross revenue. In this coverage you may have up to 3 artists. If your parlor or shop grows you can add more artist or piercers for additional premium without rewriting the whole policy. This policy will include personal property coverage upwards to $10,000 and will also include coverage for a land lord or additional insured.
