Tatoo Parlor in SoWal

[Smiling JOe]

I say keep the tatoo parlors in FWB and PCB

It's not that I object to tatoos there's just something "cheesy" about a "tatoo parlor"

Cheesy? I have never thought about using Cheesy and Tattoo business in the same sentence. Have you ever been to a business which inks tattoos? If not, go there, and then come back and tell us if you still think it is cheesy. Live on the edge a bit, and keep an open mind. ;-)

You have a point SJ, maybe that's it, I have never walked into a parlor.
I'll take your advice and check it out. I'll get back with you on that one. ;-)

When my daughter was in Sarasota She said it was so boring and no culture. I went to a Tattoo Parlor and found out she very mistaken... You would be real surprised who has tattoos and who hangs out a tattoo parlors ;-) .

I just read that whole thread for the first time. SO twu, so twu.

As for Tattoo parlors; there's nothing wrong with saying they are cheezy. If you don't know any better, and your only experience is driving by on, or in the case of PCB, TWENTY, then, yes by all means, call the places cheezy. Just realize this is not true for all locations.

I had mine done in Fort Walton Beach when I got out of USAF in 1991. The place was clean, respectable. Wasn't sleezy or cheezy at all. But that was before the tattoo explosion. Now they're on every corner in PCB along with body piercings and head shops and its a big turn off.

Since then I have accompanied a friend to get hers done, in New Orleans. We were staying at the Frenchmen near the corner of Frenchmen and Esplinade. Across the street there was a very nice, Hospital Clean, spotless, eat-scrambled-eggs-off-the-floor immaculate establishment; and we're talking a couple hundred year old brick and cobblestone floor!

Anywho I've been meaning to go back there and get mine redone, but if we got a group of sowalians going, and there are at minimum margaritas or the like involved - did someone say JUMBO?- then count me in!

Someone mentioned this in another thread and when driving on 98 today, I saw it was true.... A tatoo parlor has opened up in SoWal in the same plaza as the post office, right next to the video rental place. I remember reading somewhere that Destin had greatly restricted where these could be located, but I guess we don't have any such restriction? Looks like they've opened just in time for spring break.

I have been thinking of getting some ink. any suggestions

IM IN !!

I was incorrect. It was just the strip clubs which are not allowed.

By the way, I would be more concerned about County Commissioners not following the rules which they create, rather than a tattoo business opening. Tattoos don't make people bad.

I bet Kurt would give someone $100 if they they get a tattoo of SoWal.com (like the stickers) on their body. Who will be first???

Doesn't JFunn already have one

I want one but I will have to stick (no pun intended) with an artist I know AND trust. Who is the artist and how sterile it is- is more important to me than where the location is......JMHO!!!
