Change current code: allow tattoo & body art studios to operate in village
The Issue
The Incorporated Village of Patchogue boasts of being a supporter of the arts and the artistic community, yet they are closing out one of the fastest growing sections of the arts: tattoos/body art. It is estimated that over 70 million Americans have at least one tattoo and that number is growing each day. We feel that it is time for Patchogue Village to update their laws to fit the times. We want to show them that long gone are the days of tattoos being associated with criminals and illegal behavior. We are professionals and want to offer a professional and family friendly environment. We also want to give back to the community, be it through teaching art classes to children, face painting and air brush tattoos at Village events, etc.
Please help us tell The Incorporated Village of Patchogue that it is time to support the artist community and allow tattoo and body art studios within it's border.
