MORTON – Jason and Amanda Parker will open a tattoo parlor Tuesday in downtown Morton.
The tattoo parlor won t be in the downtown location at 142 S. Main St. the husband-and-wife team and business partners coveted they still harbor some bitterness about that but they re thrilled with their 1,000-square-foot space less than two blocks away at 330 S. Main St., in the same building as the V Gallery portrait studio. The people who didn t want us opening a tattoo parlor in our desired location will see that a tattoo parlor is not something to fear, said tattoo artist Jason Parker.
Some of those he s referring to are the Morton Village Board trustees who made up the majority in a 4-2 vote Nov. 2 against making a tattoo parlor an allowed use in a B-2 business zone, preventing the Parkers from opening at 142 S. Main.
