From Masq

Body Art -- Albuquerque

A bell dings upon entering the Body Art tattoo parlor, though the sound quickly fades into the rock and heavy metal that play during all business hours, which a sign clearly states are from noon until 2am, 4am on Friday and Saturday. The waiting area is comfortable, with several couches, and a TV complete with cable for people to watch.

The walls have various tattoo designs, and there are several books with more set on end tables beside each of the couches. A counter sits in front of the back wall, displaying the body jewelry that the shop sells, which ranges from simple silver rings to more exotic designs and low gauge jewelry. There are several smaller rooms set off from the main one where the tattooists and piercers can do their work, and each one is immaculate and equipped with everything that might be needed.

Behind the counter is a short hallway with two bathrooms, and a door that's marked PRIVATE and kept locked at all times.
