Liability for Tattoo work

Questioner

Dear I had a question about liability. My sister is a student and tattoos in her spare time. In this case, she only requests reimbursement for the costs of the materials used. Donations are also welcome, of course. Now the question is, what about her liability? Suppose a customer later regrets or is dissatisfied, etc. What could be the consequences for my sister? And will the situation remain the same if a contract is drawn up in advance, stating that it is at your own risk and that my sister is not responsible for any allergic reaction, etc.?

Your sister could be held liable if the tattooing (unexpectedly) causes damage to the client. It's not inconceivable that the damages could amount to a substantial sum. It's wise to make solid contractual agreements with the client beforehand, including limitations on liability, but that doesn't guarantee that liability will never arise. Liability is often limited to the amount of damage that can be insured; of course, it's strongly recommended to obtain adequate (professional) liability insurance. I advise your sister to seek legal advice on this matter before undertaking such work.
