New Tattoo Shop Opens for Business On Suffolk

IRONWOOD, MI - Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - There's a new tattoo shop in town! It's called Evening Shade Tattooing/Sic Inc., and it's located on Suffolk Street across from Rigoni's Bakery (the former Fashion Optical Building).

The shop is open 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM Monday through Saturday, and is open Sunday by appointment only. The shop offers tattoos, and piercings, and specializes in portrait and bizarre tattoos.

The owners of the shop say that business has been very steady, and so far, they are quite pleased with the reception they have had from their customers.

Evening Shade Tattooing is fully licensed, and certified through the State of Michigan and, as required by law, they use "single use only" needles and tubes to avoid any cross-contamination. The State of Michigan is extremely strict when it comes to tattooing. Their policies, when properly followed, virtually eliminate the risk of blood-contamination.

The owner of Evening Shade has twelve years of tattooing experience and the his family owns several tattoo shops throughout the country. The shop will soon feature a wide variety body jewelry for piercings, but their inventory has not yet arrived. The Chronicle will revisit the store after their inventory arrives and we will feature a more in-depth report.
