Insurance,
sharpened for
the studio.

Tattoo Studio Insurance by NRG is a brokerage built for tattoo artists, piercers and permanent makeup studios. We assemble the policies the rest of the industry pretends you don't need — and we speak ink.

Your craft deserves its own broker

Generic small business policies treat your studio like a barbershop with worse plumbing. We don't.

Every Tattoo Studio Insurance by NRG is underwritten by people who understand single use needles, consent forms, healed result disputes and the difference between a guest spot and a full time chair. You get coverage that actually answers when something goes sideways.

Malpractice & Professional Liability

The risk

A client alleges injury, infection or a healed result gone wrong, and holds the artist responsible for the work itself.

How we cover it

Professional liability funds the legal defense and any settlement for claims tied directly to the tattoo, piercing or PMU act — the coverage generic policies quietly exclude.

Why studios stay

A risk advisor that speaks ink

I

Specialist underwriting

We don't shoehorn you into a retail form. Each program is built from the exposures of body art work, not a generic SIC code.

II

Claims handled by humans

A named advocate from first notice to settlement. No phone tree, no script that's never heard of microblading.

III

Carriers we trust

We place every risk with established, financially sound carriers, so the policy is still standing when you actually need it.

How it works

Issued in three sittings.

No portals that time out, no 40-field forms. You talk to a risk advisor who knows the trade, and we do the heavy lifting.
