The economy is affecting businesses owners of all types. Many Mom & Pop shops are having to come up with new ideas to bring in customers. The Renaissance Tattoo Parlor expanded its client base by inventing a method to tattoo pets. Renny Jones, one of the artists designed various tats including dog bones, pet toys, and custom designs catered to each dogs personality. The funny thing is that most owners are requesting butterflies, hearts, "Mom" and pin-up girls be tattooed on little Spot. I think I'll get a tat with Snickers face on it. My belly would be a perfect spot since there isn't any hair on it.
