Personal Injury Lawyers 317-881-2700<\/p><\/div>Getting a tattoo is a big decision; a decision that people usually put a lot of feeling and thought into before choosing one that feels right. For this reason, it is devastating to end up with a bad ink job, or worse, one that causes a person health complications and more. Many tattoo enthusiasts ask about tattoo shop\u2019s liability in the case that a tattoo job goes wrong. Is a shop or artist legally accountable for a bad tattoo or injuries that result from it? The answer mainly depends on the question of negligence. <\/p>\n

Was the tattoo parlor negligent in any way, and did that negligence cause a client personal injury or harm? This is the agenda that the law uses to identify whether or not a tattoo parlor is liable for a client\u2019s damages.<\/p>\n

Potential Risks and Complications<\/h1>\n

There are several risks that can arise from getting a tattoo, as there are with any type of process or procedure that involves bleeding or blood. If anything unsterilized gets into the blood stream, it can cause infections, disease, and more. If a needle is contaminated or unsterilized, it can be the means of infecting a person\u2019s blood stream in this way. On top of disease and infection, other risks are possible as well. <\/p>\n

Tattoo Parlor Liability<\/h1>\n

\"Personal

Personal Injury Lawyers 317-881-2700<\/p><\/div>Before a person gets their tattoo, they are asked to sign a consent form notifying them of all the possible risks that could take place. Because of this form, tattoo parlors are not entirely responsible for infections and other health complications that arise following an ink job. But this doesn\u2019t mean they can\u2019t be held liable at all. If something goes wrong after giving a tattoo to a client, the parlor can be legally liable under certain circumstances. If the artist or shop was negligent in anyway, and this negligence led to a client\u2019s injury, then there would be a valid claim against them. <\/p>\n

Here are some examples of possible tattoo parlor negligence:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022\tFailing to Inquire about a Client\u2019s Allergies or Medical History
\n\u2022\tNot Using Sterile Needles
\n\u2022\tImproper Care and Upkeep of Equipment and Tools
\n\u2022\tFailing to Use Proper Protective Equipment
\n\u2022\tWorking Under the Influence of Drugs and Alcohol
\n\u2022\tFailing to Give Proper After-Care Instructions
\n\u2022\tAnd More<\/em><\/p>\n

It is important to discuss tattoo parlor legal claims with a licensed personal injury attorney. Tattoo parlors that have been guilty of personal injuries to clients often combat accusations of negligence by blaming the client in any way. They will argue that the client was in some way negligent and did not follow after-care instructions properly. Although this is often true, there are cases where a client is innocent and the parlor is the negligent party. To make this distinction accurately, it is highly recommended to outsource professional legal counsel. Most personal injury lawyers will even listen to your case, free of charge, and determine whether or not you have a valid claim. <\/p>\n
