tattoo parlors
Body art studios
Tattoo parlors are establishments where people go to get permanent ink designs applied to their skin by professional tattoo artists.
The term parlor gives these businesses a slightly old-fashioned, almost genteel ring, though the atmosphere ranges from gritty storefronts to upscale studios.
Most tattoo parlors display flash art on the walls—pre-designed images customers can choose from—though custom work is increasingly common.
