Shops have been closed after the owners have spent thousands on their new location because a local church decided to push the issue stating that "the tattoo industry increases crime and drug use, and decrease property values". I suggest you all search the local laws and codes in your area and see what kind of discrimination they have written into the legal system to make us seem like we are destroying america.

i think as to do with the township or borough, a couple years ago i worked in a borough that told us, that since we were zoned as an adult business that if we were not fully clothed while we were tattooig we were not allowed to charge.
