CROOKSIDE INCIDENT ON NOV 7
To all our clients and friends,
This happened on Sunday, Nov. 7, around 12 midnight.
Our shop typically closes at 10pm; however, there was an ongoing tattoo session which was about to be done when 2 armed men rolled up our shutter and let themselves in. Our tattoo artist and his client were held at gunpoint while these men (wearing helmets) were taking their personal items along with some of our store items.
We are grateful that no one got hurt but this incident served us a lesson to always ALWAYS be careful no matter what.
Our shop’s security has been discussed. Part of it is that going forward, all customers wearing helmets will be asked to take it off before stepping in to our shop, and face masks to be pulled down briefly so we can see (and CCTV records) their faces. Also, our hours have been adjusted to 11am to 9pm. All tattoo sessions will be scheduled in between those times as well.
Police has been alerted of the incident but we would like to put this out there to serve as a warning to other store owners. These men are still at large so please please be extra careful out there, and report any suspicious activity going on around your area.
Thank you and stay safe!
PS. We are open and business as usual! Feel free to drop by to get your stash!
