Grade A Tattoos & Body Prcng

The number of tattoo businesses through the county has increased seven-fold since 1999, yet the Fort Wayne-Allen County Department of Health still has only one person to inspect them, and it is but a tiny part of his duties. Seven of the county's 21 shops have opened since Jan. 1, correlating with retail reports suggesting one opens every day, according to U. S. News & World Report. A 2003 Harris Poll found 15 percent of Americans, or about 40 million people, have at least one tattoo.
