Tattoo shop closed due to fire at Franz's Gym

    To all our loyal customers we apologize for being closed today.  At approximately 2 p.m. Franz Gym located next to our tattoo shop on Broadway caught  fire.   The smoke was getting very thick and was starting to come into the shop.  At 2:45 the police came in  and told us that we would need to evacuate. "It looked like it was sunset because it was so dark in-front of the shop," said Mikey our piercer.  The police closed  all businesses in the direct area close to the fire. The streets were closed on Broadway between Downer and Benton which created a mess in the downtown area.  Don could not get his truck out so he caught a ride with Mikey to Bally Doyle to have a few beers and wait it out.   We were just aloud back into the shop a few minutes ago so we have decided to call it a day.  We will be opening bright and early tomorrow (1:00 pm in the tattoo world) to serve our customers in getting their tattoos and piercings.  As always we welcome walk-ins if you do not already have an appointment.
