She would be wise to consult her liability insurance company before allowing someone else to use her longarm IF she uses it for business. There's a significant liability exposure if someone were to get injured (run a needle through their finger, trip and fall in her studio, etc.) Kind of like how you aren't allowed into most auto repair shops. Then there's the exposure to someone accidentally causing damage (knocking the LA out of timing) and impacting her business schedule/repair costs.
