Bissell v. All Tattoos and Body Revolution

What is the case about?
On March 26, 2015, we filed a collective action against Defendants All Tattoos and Body Revolution in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio for a class of apprentices, tattoo artists, and body piercers who seek unpaid overtime compensation.

The action alleges that Defendants violated the Fair Labor Standards Act by misclassifying apprentices, tattoo artists, and body piercers as trainees and independent contractors, and failing to pay them overtime wages and minimum wages under the FLSA and OMFWSA.

Plaintiffs believe that they and the other unit managers are entitled to recover from Defendants unpaid overtime compensation, unpaid minimum wages, liquidated damages, attorneys' fees and costs.

Am I part of the class?
Plaintiffs seek to sue on behalf of themselves and the other current and former apprentices, tattoo artists, and body piercers of Defendants within the last three years.

It is important that you return the Consent Form as soon as possible because the time period for which you can seek a payment for your unpaid wages will depend on when this form is filed with the Court.

What about retaliation?
The law prohibits Defendants, or any of their agents or employees, to discharge, or in any manner harass, discriminate or retaliate against you for taking part in this action.

Do I have to pay anything?
You do not have to pay anything to our firm if you join the action. We are handling this case on a contingency basis. This means we will only be paid if the action is successful in obtaining a recovery for you, and that payment will only come out of that recovery.
