Lancaster Mayor Rick Gray questioned whether it wouldn't make more sense to have such regulations imposed at a county or state level. The city, he said, accounts for only about 10 percent of the county's population and less than 20 percent of the county's tattoo parlors.
"It only makes sense that if a body art studios or tattoo parlor on the south side of Liberty Street should be regulated, then a body art studio on the north side of Liberty Street have the same regulations," Gray said this morning.
