More details to this question:
I went to get my tattoo done midday Monday, and I quick signed a waiver not expecting this to happen. Everything seemed fine Tuesday and I was following the same aftercare that I had for all my other tattoos that turned out great. Wednesday morning I knew something was wrong, and by Thursday midday my whole arm was swollen, with rash, burning, and my tattoo looked horrible. I went to an urgent care where they sampled and tested the actual pus coming out of my tattoo and I got MRSA from dirty needle. This is from a supposedly licensed and professional and popular local tattoo shop. What can I do get my money back or more compensation for this since I signed that waiver?

Generally, a party cannot contract away its own liability for personal injury damages caused by its own negligence. The contract would be considered void as against public policy. However, some Florida courts have upheld these adhesion type contracts ,but they must include language specifically referring to the negligence of the protected party. So you may have a case but the contract would have to be reviewed. Discuss in private with counsel here in Florida for possible contingency fee reprtesentation which means you dont pay anything unless you win.
