Different states vary considerably in their requirements for microblading and permanent makeup professional’s insurance requirements. In the past, some states required a cosmetology license to practice. As of May 2017, if you take the blood-borne pathogens training course, you are safe to practice microblading. Always check the State Board’s website for the specific requirements of the state in which you plan to practice.

Since microblading involves needles, there may also be certain Health Department certifications required within the locale. For example, the Florida Department of Health classifies microblading and permanent cosmetics as tattooing, which requires its own license and certification. Some states and several certifying boards make it a requirement to have insurance in order to obtain a license and/or certification.

However, even if it’s not a specific requirement consider this, the cost of purchasing a comprehensive microblading insurance policy from EBS pales in comparison to the cost of a potential liability claim against you, your business, and your license. Simply put, one of the one cost-effective means with which to protect you and your business from a claim is to have the security of a microblading insurance policy in place.

Microblading professionals require additional training and certification in order to safely provide services to clients. Because of their use of tools which puncture layers of skin, even with proper care and attention to detail, complications that could give rise to a claim event can occur. We’ll briefly go through each liability coverage with examples of possible claim events that can, and have, occurred.

• Professional Liability - often referred to as “malpractice” insurance provides coverage for claims that arise out of performing your service. For example, you provide a microblade treatment for a client and then several weeks later the client develops an infection and so decides to file a claim against you. If the client had extensive medical bills to treat the infection, you could be left paying these costs out of pocket without comprehensive insurance.
• General Liability - also called “slip and fall” insurance as claims occur from simply operating your business in a physical location. An example could be a client tripping over a loose rug, injuring themselves, and filing a claim.
• Product Liability - this can occur when a faulty product malfunctions and causes an injury. Perhaps you’re using your permanent makeup machine and faulty wiring causes an electrical short, which overheats the instrument, and burns your client’s skin. With EBS, an event like this is covered up to $2 Million per year. 
• Rental Damage - this protects you from any damage that might occur to a rented property. For example, your client get overly excited after having an especially fabulous microblading treatment and jumps for joy, but unfortunately punches a hole in the ceiling. Damages like these are covered up to $100,000.
• Stolen Equipment - while not generally a claim that’s filed against you, this type of claims’ coverage affords $1000 for any equipment that gets stolen from your business.

This depends on the state, county, parish, etc. in which you plan on operating. The State of Florida classifies microblading as tattooing, requiring licensure as a tattoo artist and also limiting the service location to a licensed tattoo parlor.  

Always be sure to check your State Board for the specific requirements for training, testing, certification, insurance, and licensure.
