Hi Kristi,
I am Mark from Utopia, in Hicksville, NY. I spoke with you briefly the other night. I have two landmark stores on Long Island, NY, that have been around for 30 years. We have been body piercing for 10 years and have the best reputation in our area. I recently built two tattoo rooms in my larger store, next to the body piercing studio. The Hicksville store is 3 floors and is 13000 square feet. We have very heavy traffic flow in this store. So much so, that when I have had guest tattoo artists come in for a week at a time, we keep them busy. Customers constantly ask if we tattoo or just assume that we do. This past Sat. I had 6 people as for tattoos. We have no artwork on display, no signs , and no ads.
