MOORE -- City councilman Terry Cavnar can do without them. It's pretty obvious he's not thrilled by them. In fact, given the opportunity he'd prefer they go someplace else. Just what is it Cavnar doesn't want? PAC 10 football officials? Used car salesmen? A franchise selling Oregon Ducks sweatshirts? No, tattoo studios. And last week, Cavnar made sure the issues surrounding tattooing were well discussed at the Moore City Council meeting. "I don't see why it would better the city of Moore to have them (tattoo studios) come here," he said during the meeting. "I don't want 'em here." With a state law legalizing tattooing and body piercing as of Nov. 1, city officials began amending ordinances to recognize and allow the businesses within city limits. Well, sort of. Community Development director Elizabeth Jones presented a proposed ordinance -- which paralleled the new state law governing both types of businesses -- to commissioners for their approval. The ordinance, 556(06), added tattoo and body piercing parlors to the city's list of approved retail sales and services. "We based our ordinance on the new state law," Jones said. But it was obvious the seven-member council would have rather discussed the geo-political problems facing the Middle East than tattooing. Still, council members passed the proposal by a 6-1 vote. Cavnar voted no.
