Insurance for Med Spas & Tattoo Shops
Specialized coverage for businesses performing aesthetic treatments, body art, and cosmetic procedures -- protecting you from the elevated risks of your industry.
High-Risk Services Need Specialized Coverage
Med spas, tattoo parlors, and aesthetic clinics perform procedures that carry inherent risks -- from laser treatments and injectables to tattooing and body piercings. These businesses face higher liability exposure than typical service providers, making specialized insurance not just important, but essential for staying in business.

Covers bodily injury and property damage claims not related to your professional services, such as a client slipping in your waiting area or damage to a client's personal belongings.
Product Liability
Covers claims from products you sell or use on clients, including skincare products, tattoo inks, numbing creams, and aftercare products that cause adverse reactions.
Commercial Property
Protects your facility, specialized equipment (lasers, tattoo machines, sterilization equipment), furniture, and supplies from fire, theft, and other covered perils.
Workers' Compensation
Covers employees for on-the-job injuries, including needlestick injuries, chemical exposure, repetitive strain, and back injuries from standing for extended periods.
