TATTOOS AND BODY PIERCING
Novato, CA
Tattooing and body piercing require both great skill and a good sense of artistry – and given their permanent effects, the practices face high risks, such as mishaps or customer regrets, that can result in claims. Professional Program Insurance Brokerage was established to help professionals in the body art industry protect their work and businesses, and has been providing tattoo and body piercing insurance for more than 20 years, working with about 1,600 brokers in all 50 states.
“We have traditionally been known for our tattoo program,” says company president Susan Preston. “We have been doing it longer than anyone else in America … there was no program until I put it together.”
Under its comprehensive tattoo insurance program, PPIB extends coverage for guest artists and supply distributors, as well as for permanent cosmetics and work done in conventions. The brokerage also arranges consent forms and provides loss-control tips to help clients define their limits and exposures, and strives to stay updated on current trends in order to foresee any other needs that might arise.
