Tattoo artist David Libert is looking to open a new tattoo parlor in Evanston in hopes of creating a safer alternative for many tattoo enthusiasts during an era when body modification tools can easily be accessed through online shopping.
“It’s important for me to emphasize the safety of this because in the era of Amazon, Temu and all the other out there, the ease of getting access to body modification tools is scary,” Libert said. “I want to say the tattoo artists at my shop will be vetted not only by me but through special certifications.”
Part of the Libert’s safety elements follows a recent effort in the tattoo community to place restrictions on what type of ink tattoo artists can use when adorning their customers. The hopeful owner told commissioners the Alliance for Professional Tattooists is having conversations with the Food and Drug Administration to make strict standards, something he would look to follow if his Evanston establishment gets full approval.
Libert is working with his father, Steven, in the business venture. Steven told commissioners his son would oversee the tattooing and day-to-day side of the business while he would handle back office work.
