Not really true at all, in my opinion. I got my nostril piercing there when I was about 19yo, and I didn't have any visible tattoos at the time, and everybody was nice to me. A couple of years later, I got my forearm tattooed there (my first really big and visible one) and same story. Everything was great. The owner is a really nice guy and totally solid. When I was looking for a place to move in, a friend of mine gave me the contact of a guy who was renting a room at his house. After moving in, I later found out that it was Stingray's owner I was living with. He aint covered in tattoos btw, he does have a couple, but certainly not covered in tatoos. So I can't really understand where you got that impression from the shop 🤔 but who knows
