When a Tattoo Goes Wrong, You Deserve Answers
Getting a tattoo should be a safe, professional experience. Unfortunately, mistakes at tattoo shops can lead to serious injuries, infections, or long-term health complications.
If you were injured at a tattoo shop due to negligence, improper sanitation, or careless conduct, you may have the right to pursue compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and other losses.
Our firm represents individuals who were harmed by unsafe tattoo procedures and shop negligence, and we are committed to holding responsible parties accountable.
Common Tattoo Shop Injuries
Tattoo-related injuries can range from mild complications to serious, life altering conditions. We handle cases involving:
- Severe infections caused by unsanitary equipment or improper aftercare instructions
- Bloodborne illnesses such as hepatitis or bacterial infections
- Allergic reactions to inks or materials used
- Permanent scarring or disfigurement
- Nerve damage or deep tissue injuries
- Burns or skin damage from malfunctioning equipment
- Improper or rushed procedures performed by unqualified artists
Many of these injuries are entirely preventable when tattoo shops follow proper safety, licensing, and hygiene standards.
Tattoo Shop Negligence & Liability
Tattoo shop owners and artists have a legal duty to protect their clients. Liability may arise when a shop fails to:
- Properly sterilize needs, equipment, and workstations
- Use single-use or disposable tools when required
- Follow state and local health regulations, including proper certifications
- Provide accurate aftercare instructions
- Screen clients for known medical risks or allergies
- Maintain a clean and sanitary environment
- Ensure artists are properly trained and licensed
When these responsibilities are ignored, the consequences can be serious, and consumers should not be left paying the price.
Serious Injuries Can Have Lasting Effects
Tattoo injuries are not always immediately visible. Some infections and complications develop days or weeks later and may result in:
- Hospitalization or emergency treatment
- Permanent skin damage or scarring
- Emotional distress and embarassment
- Lost wages from missed work (in more serious cases)
- Costly corrective procedures
Our goal is to pursue accountability while helping injured individuals recover financially and move forward.
What to Do If You Were Injured at a Tattoo Shop
If you believe that your injury was caused by unsafe tattooing practices:
- Seek medical attention immediately
- Document your injuries with photos and medical records
- Save receipts, consent forms, and aftercare instructions
- Avoid returning to the same shop for corrective work
- Speak with a personal injury attorney before accepting responsibility or signing anything
Early legal guidance can help protect your rights and preserve important evidence.
