TATOO & BODY PIERCING SHOPS IN OAK CREEK
HOW DOES "EYE CANDY" SOUND TO YOU---AS A TATOO & BODY PIERCING SHOP!
OUR CITY IS FRAMING WORDING & B4 ZONING AS TO WHERE THESE PLACES CAN BE OPENED IN OUR CITY.THE NEW TJ MAXX STORE ON HOWELL AVE REFUSED TO HAVE THEM AS A NEIGHBORING BUSINESS.TJ MAXX HAS THAT WORDING IN THEIR CONTRACT AS TO NEIGHBORING BUSINESS"S.THE 1ST VOTE OF COUNCIL HAD ONLY ONE ALDERMAN TO VOTE AGAINST THESE PLACES. ANOTHER VOTE LATER HAD 3 VOTES AGAINST--THE FULL COUNCIL VOTE TIE BREAKER PASSED 4-3. THIS BLOGGER DOES NOT LIKE BODY PIERCING & tatoo SHOPS.THEY ARE LOCATED IN OLDER -DARK BLDGS W/ RED & BLUE SIGNS IN WINDOW OPEN---& TATOO'S. TATOO'S STARTED IN WORLD WAR 11 AS SOLDIERS GOT WEEKEND FURLOUGHS.MANY WAKING UP IN THE MORNING "SAYING WHAT DID I DO?" THEY LOOKED TERRIBLE AS YOU AGE.
BODY PIERCING IS "PEER PRESSURE" HOPEFULLY NOT A LONG LASTING "FAD"! THIS BLOGGER CAN NOT HELP BUT THINK OF A NICE YOUNG GIRL WHO WAS A VOLUNTEER HELPING AT RECENT LIONSFEST ." SHE HAD A LARGE & SMALLER SILVER RING IN HER LIP & A ORANGE MARBLE ON HER PIERCED TONGUE! I FELT SORRY FOR HER & STILL DO. I ASK MYSELF "WHY" WOULD SOMEONE DO THIS? DID FRIENDS DO THIS FIRST--DID SHE FEEL SHE WOULD FIT IN BETTER IN HER GROUP OF FRIENDS? WHAT DO HER PARENTS THINK? WHAT ABOUT "GRAMPS & GRANMA"! I UNDERSTAND THE RIGHT TO OPERATE A BUSINESS- TO MAKE A LIVING-ALL THE FREEDOMS WE HAVE. ADJOINING COMMUNITIES HAVE THESE PLACES TO ACCOMADATE THIS BUSINESS. WHERE WOULD THE 4 COUNCIL VOTES LIKE TO PUT THESE PLACES-"in some other alderpersons ward" ? HOWELL AVE BUSINESS AREA--27TH ST CORRIDOR? WE MUST REMEMBER "CUPIDS TOY'S ON 27TH & RAWSON WAS ALLOWED TO OPEN MANY YEARS AGO.WE HAVE BEEN IN COURT "seems forever" to try to close them! MY MIND DOES NOT GO THERE-BUT SOMEONES MIGHT TAKE TATOO & BODY PIERCING TO ANOTHER LEVEL WORSE THAN 'cupids toy's" THAT THE CITY IS "JUSTLY" TRYING TO CLOSE. I AM ASKING THE 4 VOTES ON THE OAK CREEK COMMON COUNCIL TO THINK THIS THROUGH "ONE MORE TIME" BEFORE FINAL VOTE! I WILL ACCEPT THE FINAL VOTE AS THIS BLOGGER IS A MAJORITY RULES PERSON! jerry

I'm trying to understand that this is your blog consisting of your own personal opinions and views. Everyone has theirs. In my opinion, your view of tattoo and body piercing shops are very closed-minded. For the record, I have my ears pierced and one tattoo on my ankle that has a very personal meaning to me.
I'm curious as to whether you've recently driven through Oak Creek at night to see how many businesses actually use red and blue "open" signs? Or if you've met current veterans after WWII that got tattoos and not regretted them, but we're proud to show of the service they have given to this country?
It's surprising that you didn't give one thought to "personal choice" when seeing the young woman at Lions Fest. I'm not dis-allowing that her friends maybe influenced her or that "gramps & gramma" may have chosen differently for her. However, you indicated she volunteered. She gave her own personal time selflessly to the community, but was judged by you. She made a choice. It may not have been the one you chose, but that's why it's hers. She certainly will not be given the choice to contribute to her own community economically if your majority rules against a shop she may or may not choose to frequent.
As for "gramps & gramma", other family members, and friends; it's my opinion that unconditional love and acceptance is what counts. Not an orange marble.

3 times now you've been told that WRITING IN UPPER CASE LETTERS is a form of shouting...and I guess that is what your Blog is..a shouting match. Frankly it's boring and blogging once every other month on personal beefs with the City are wasting space on this website.
If you really love this city, then complain about the new Credit Union being built on Howell....another bank! How about forcing Bolender to find a business that people who might not be residents of Oak Creek that are driving down Howell might be tempted to stop in....how many "drive-by" customers will a credit union bring in compared to Sonic or Woodmans? Heck, is someone was coming over for a Tattoo at one of those places you dont want, they might spend a few bucks at Woodmans, Ace, Sonic, but doubtful they are gonna say "Hey lets stop in at the credit union or bank and see what they have".

I'm sure that you will try your hardest to change Lion policy to not accept any help (money or time) from an inked\pierced person.I also trust that any current members will be dismissed that don't meet the new elitist criteria.You may have to retrain the remaining lions on how to spot the "dirty people".So they do not take any money from them when they want a beer at the lions fest or a ride ticket for the kiddies.I guess you will also be checking the "carnies" for tatts/piercings.(I'm sure all the bikers will understand why you will be turning them away.)
You also took a shot at our veterans.Isn't the Lions fest held on the Legion grounds.
With all due respect sir.Take a look around.If you don't have ink or a piercing YOU ARE IN THE MINORITY.
