Tattooing is "Adult Entertainment" in Pa

[durden666]

According to the Zoning enforcement office in Pennsylvania tattooing and body piercing establishments are classified as Adult Entertainment. By labeling our industry this way the local governments are legally allowed to keep studios out of a town if they dont want it there. Some of the guidlines in specific towns that enforce this include being too close to a school or church. 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.
