There is a petition floating around suggesting that tattoo parlours reopen in the province!
As some businesses begin opening up in the province, tattoo shops are not. One local tattoo artist is speaking out, and has started a petition to have his voice heard.
Phil McLellan is a local artist who has been tattooing for 33 years. He started a petition to see tattoo parlours and body modification studios in Manitoba to open. As of right now these specific businesses will not reopen until at least June 1st.
McLellan said tattoo shops are required to be clean and sanitary. They have the personal protective equipment so they can reopen safely.
He went on to say that, tattoo artists wear gloves, sleeves and aprons and many artists are willing to wear masks.
Non-essential businesses including hair salons and massage therapists reopened, so he believes tattoo parlours should also open.
Since last night, the petition has receive over 1,000 signatures.
Thoughts?
