In mid January, Taylorville welcomed a new tattoo studio that offers something most tattoo studios don't have. Tornado City Tattoo has a more private setup in their studio, where in most parlors, there is an open area where people are working, but there, they have private rooms. Mara (Mare-Uh) Bertinetti, Owner of Tornado City Tattoo, said through the private rooms, both the tattoo artist and client have more privacy and are able to focus more during the process.

Bertintetti said Tornado City Tattoo also offers both flash designs, also known as a stencil, and free hand custom designs for their clients, that often, the tattoo artists design themselves.

Tornado City Tattoo is located at 415 West Franklin and are open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 6:00
