The officious little rule-mongers are always coming up with something new:
Two Warsaw tattoo parlors were granted special exceptions for their business locations Monday night by Warsaw Board of Zoning Appeals.
But the special exceptions were approved with sign restrictions that Hank's Tattoo, 3704 Lake City Highway, and Take Action, 938 N. Detroit St., can no longer visibly have signage that says “tattoo,” “body piercing” or “body art” that is visible from the roof, wall, windows or from the road.
You can have your business, you just can't let people know what it is! Brilliant. Maybe they should be required to have a secret entrance, parking 10 blocks away and operating hours confined to midnight-2 a.m. Thursdays and every other Saturday.

Another perfect illustration further convincing me that from the township level to the hallowed halls of congress, to the white house, ALL governmental bodies/boards/agencies of ANY kind are incapable of making decisions that are not bassakwards and completely opposite of what they should be.
It's funny how most people don't really appear to be that stupid until they enter civil service. It's like a cloud appears above their head.

You forgot the "password" and secret handshake...!

I think you're required (by law) to "check your brain at the door" when it comes to civil service, most times.
Cloudy?
Perhaps.
FOGGY?
Definitely!
I had it in my mind that in Indiana, you had to be a licensed physician to do tattooing. Has the law changed, or is my mind playing games on me?
It's Warsaw, the community I remember when I lived in Fort Wayne, that made finding a Playboy for sale impossible.
Rigid, tight-assed folk, that's what I say. An example of hermetically sealed, predominantly white communities where anything not ossified from previous generations is looked at suspiciously.
