Liability for Failed Tattoo | Legal Aid

Questioner

I would like to know if you can do something with a botched tattoo done by a man who turned out to have his papers taken away.

Lawyer

That depends on whether you don't like it or whether demonstrable mistakes were made with the setting: in that case you can hold the practitioner liable for the consequences (laser removal for example and having to take time off work). The fact that the papers were taken is less relevant.

Questioner

Thank you for your response. You can see that the lines are not straight and parts are missing and that the coloring is half done and not neat. I had to pay 500 euros for it and I will walk around with it for the rest of my life.... Can nothing really be done about these kinds of people?

Lawyer

Yes, you should send a notice of liability based on the breach of contract, which can no longer be repaired, only undone. Then the next question is of course whether this person is inclined to take responsibility. Difficult indeed.
