As a Washington-based tattoo artist, selling high-end equipment like autoclaves, custom power supplies, or valuable flash design catalogs requires more than a handshake. Under RCW 19.36.010 (Washington's Statute of Frauds), certain transfers must be in writing to be enforceable. Whether you are upgrading your workstation or liquidating studio assets, a formal Bill of Sale mitigates risks related to the WA Consumer Protection Act by clearly defining the 'as-is' status of the equipment and documenting specific health-related disclosures. This document ensures that both parties acknowledge the transfer of ownership, protecting you from future liability regarding equipment performance or specialized hygiene standards.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to Tattoo Artist:
A Bill of Sale serves the core legal purpose of providing proof of the transfer of ownership of an item from the seller to the buyer. It formalizes the transaction and fulfills the legal need for documentation of the sale, aiding in preventing disputes over ownership and clarifying the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties involved.
Bloodborne Pathogen Liability
Using client consent forms acknowledging the risks associated with tattooing, and adherence to OSHA standards for infection control.
Allergic Reaction Claims
Obtaining informed consent from clients about potential allergic reactions, keeping records of ink and materials used, and having disclaimers in contracts.
Design Disputes
Detailed contracts specifying the design agreed upon, with mock-ups or sketches initialed by the client.
Underage Clients
Strict age verification processes and requiring parental consent forms where minors are tattooed with parental approval.

While a Bill of Sale transfers ownership under WA state law, it does not bypass the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. However, including an 'As-Is' clause and a detailed description of the item's maintenance history helps document that the equipment was sold in compliance with hygiene standards at the time of transfer, reducing your civil liability risk for downstream contamination claims.
If the Bill of Sale includes the transfer of a client list or 'flash' designs, you must be aware that Washington's RCW 49.62 strictly limits non-compete agreements for independent contractors earning under $250,000. Selling your book of business doesn't automatically bar you from tattooing in the same area unless the contract meets the specific duration and earnings thresholds set by WA law.
Yes. Because it includes the Required Clauses—Parties Identification, Purchase Price, and a detailed Description of the Item Sold—it satisfies the requirements of RCW 19.36.010. This ensures the transaction is legally binding and prevents ownership disputes should the buyer attempt to rescind the payment.
