Get Tattoo Insurance designed specifically for your industry – Specialist schemes from A-rated UK Insurers.

Whether you’re a freelance tattoo artist, studio owner, or offer services like piercing, laser tattoo removal, or semi-permanent makeup, your business needs insurance designed for the industry, not a generic retail policy.

At Activate Insurance Brokers, we arrange specialist tattoo insurance for artists and studios across the UK, backed by A-rated UK insurers. We understand your risks and the importance of your reputation, because arranging insurance for tattoo and body art professionals is our speciality.

Why Choose Activate Insurance Brokers – We Understand Your Business

Yes, we’re well experienced insurance brokers. But more importantly, we understand how tattoo studios really operate.

We know:

  • Your machines, power units, and laser equipment are essential to your income.
  • Many studios have self-employed artists, guest artists, or chair renters.
  • Studios often combine tattooing, piercing, laser removal, and SPMU.
  • Equipment theft and studio break-ins are a real risk.
  • Your reputation is one of your most valuable assets.

This allows us to arrange cover that genuinely protects your business and is fit for purpose, not just ticks a box or general retail policy.
