Tattoos may be the art form of the 21st Century, with one out of five Americans displaying some body art whether it is hidden from everyday view or in plain sight. On the other hand,though, demand continues to surge for tattoo removal services among the 45 million in the country who already have a tattoo somewhere on their body. Of tattooed Americans, 11% either have plans for a removal or they have already had the tattoo removal performed. Tattoo artists are the business people caught in the middle of these conflicting trends. They also provide related body art like body piercings, microblading, and permanent makeup. The artists who perform work on their customers’ bodies have a lot to consider as they make the best business decisions in everything from products they use to insurance coverage they get to carry on the business side of their artistry.

Whether it’s a massive new piece Drake recently spent more than 12 hours with his artist to complete, or the strange but true story of Chrissie Tiegen’s father having his daughter’s face tattooed on his body, tattoos are all over in the news and on the bodies of sports stars and artists. But beyond the headlines and noticeable beauty on bodies all around, though, a lot of people don’t give much thought to the artists who create the images that are proudly displayed on walking human canvases from coffee shops to concert halls around the world.

From new developments that add unexpected potential new risks to the business, such as researchers in Colorado who are working on “high-tech” tattoo inks that they claim may help to warn of excess sun exposure or even changes in blood sugar, to rare cases of microbial growth in inks, the truth about tattoo inks is that they are not regulated or tested for safety by the FDA. Tattoo inks have been associated with adverse health results, from reactions to chemicals in the inks to even cases of microbes in the ink that came from the factory and lead to illness.Tattooists are responsible for their professional use of inks and all the related tattoo equipment, of course, and they also have a duty to get thorough and extensive insurance coverage to protect their clients.
