Total Tattoo – August 2019

INSURANCE FEATURE

What happens when you make a claim? After realising an incident has
occurred, contact your insurance broker as soon as possible. They will
take the basic details and advise the insurance company. The insurance
company will appoint a loss adjuster who will contact you to go through
the claim with you. They may even visit your premises for a face-to-face
meeting and evaluate the damage. Their job is to get you working again as
soon as possible.

Top questions to ask yourself when looking for an insurer:

1. How easy are they to contact? Do they have a working website?


2. Have they been recommended to you by a friend?


3. Did they explain the options for cover and did you understand them?


4. Do they specialise in insurance for tattoo artists and body piercers?


5. And the price? It may seem obvious to get the cheapest policy,
   however, the lowest priced deal is not always the best option. Get a
   couple of quotes and compare the cover and the company as well as
   the price.

How can

be better?

“The main problem is

tattooing doesn’t like

telling anyone anything.

Everyone likes pointing out

what’s wrong but no one

wants to tell anyone how

to make it better.”

It only takes a few

seconds to break in,

and a few minutes to

clear your shop out,

but it could take you

months or years to

recover from the loss.
