Getting a tattoo is a big commitment. When you decide to get one, you expect the tattoo artist to apply it correctly, following strict health and safety standards. If not, you may be left with an injury or infection.

Before starting a new tattoo, the tattoo artist should ask you questions about your medical history and check for any skin reactions. They must also use properly sterilised equipment for each tattoo, to prevent the risk of infection.

Injuries can also happen from tattoo removal treatments. This usually happens because the professional hasn’t been trained properly, or the equipment was used incorrectly.

Contact our team of legal experts to start your tattoo claim compensation.

Our expert solicitors have experience making tattoo compensation claims for the following:

• Allergic reactions from tattoos
• Infections from non-sterilised tattoo equipment
• Scarring, burns, blisters, or hyperpigmentation from tattoo removal treatments.

It’s also worth mentioning that, in the UK, it’s illegal to tattoo anyone under the age of 18, even with parental consent. If a tattoo artist tattoos an underage person, they’re responsible, not the person getting the tattoo.

Many of our tattoo compensation claims are made using no win no fee agreements. This means there’s no financial risk to you should your claim be unsuccessful.
