The tattoo business at 8227 Woodmont Avenue says they have tried contacting County Executive Marc Elrich and his staff by every means of communication, but cannot get a response. "We're being bled dry," they wrote on Facebook, as the bills continue to come in but no revenue can be generated.
It's puzzling why tattoo services would not be permitted. Other personal and medical services that place employees in close or closer contact with customers have been permitted to resume with some precautions. Whether that was wise or not, we'll know in the coming weeks, but it's simply a fact.
Interesting they would allow some cosmetic personal services but not others. Doesn’t seem logical to lump them in with medical services though. Anyone able to get a comment from the county?
ReplyDeleteThat fact that Montgomery County Health Officials have failed to provide a rationale as to why they have chose to keep tattoo shops closed in their phase 2 unlike every other Maryland County demonstrates that MoCo is just making arbitrary determinations when it comes to reopening. I have no problem keeping businesses closed but MoCo must provide a rationale basis.
ReplyDelete4:19: Especially strange considering Prince George's - which has more cases - is now allowing tattoo shops to operate.
