The customer contract at the tattoo shop I worked at required customer to take full responsibility for understanding their tattoo, especially non-English words.

Also customers had to attest that they are not or have ever been a lawyer. The only person who read the entirety of the contract admitted she was a recovering lawyer. The tattoo artist made an exception.

Random side note: the artist I worked for fought for legislation to require tattoo ink manufacturers to publish the ingredients they use. Anyone know if such legislation ever passed?

Why couldn't lawyers also be customers?

Probably a joke, but I'm guessing the implication is that lawyers are litigious.

It feels wrong, but profession is not a protected class in the US. Maybe this is a kind of discrimination that is legal.

> Maybe this is a kind of discrimination that is legal.

Well, there is a way to be sure.

[pure-awesome]

You mean asking a legal professional?

I feel like trolling lawyers is a good way to get schooled for free

[marcosdumay]

I see you are using a new and creative definition of "free"...

That mays be valid if the customer provides the design. But if they show up and ask for a design provided by the tattoo shop then the shop cannot wash their hands off liability with this kind of clause (at least in many jurisdictions).
