--LEAD IN--
A DISPUTE HAS TURNED NASTY BETWEEN A COLORADO SPRINGS TATTOO SHOP AND THE PROPERTY OWNERS OF AN ADJACENT APARTMENT COMPLEX
THE ISSUE IS OVER PARKINGOR THE LACK OF SPACES TO SATISFY BOTH
THAT HAS LED TO SOME OF THE TATOO SHOP'S CUSTOMERS GETTING TOWED
SO THE TATOO BUSINESS HAS FIRED BACKBY PUTTING UP AN OBSCENE MURAL THAT APARTMENT RESIDENTS CAN SEE
TONY KEITH SPOKE WITH THE TATTOO SHOP'S OWNER:
--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS--
Voice Of: David Brown/Fallen Heros Tattoo and Piercing Owner: We tried to play fair, but now we'll fight back with a d*** mural
A MURAL TOO OBSCENE TO SHOW ON TV, DEPICTING MORE THAN A DOZEN IMAGES OF MALE GENITALIA
Voice Of: David Brown/Fallen Heros Tattoo and Piercing Owner: They are very cartoonish, they are not um like I said graphic, realistic
FALLEN HEROES TATTOO AND PIERCING IS A BUSINESS JUST EAST OF THE OLD COLORADO CITY AREA
THE OWNER, DAVID BROWN, PUT A NEW ADDITION ON HIS ROOF THAT SOME NEIGHBORS, WHO WANTED TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS, DESCRIBED TO ME AS FLAT-OUT DISGUSTING
No Super: It wasn't but it was disturbing I don't have kids or anything I am forty years old but even just me as an adult
BROWN SAYS THE MURAL WAS PAINTED A COUPLE WEEKS AGO IN RESPONSE TO AN ALLEGED PARKING DISPUTE BETWEEN HIS BUSINESS AND THE PROPERTY OWNERS OF THE APARTMENT COMPLEX NEXT DOOR
BROWN TELLING ME ABOUT 30 OF HIS CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN TOWED IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS
David Brown/Fallen Heros Tattoo and Piercing Owner: It was a point to be made and we make our point with pens and pencils
Tony Keith Reporting: Now this is the real problem area, it's an alley between the apartment complex and the tattoo shop When you come in there's a large sign that says private property no parking
It's hard to miss, however on this side, the side owned by the tattoo shop, there's no visible signs, saying no parking allowed
There's also no writing in these spots, but these spots that I'm standing in right now, they belong to the apartment complex
David Brown/Fallen Heros Tattoo and Piercing Owner: If the spots were labeled individually, I think we would have zero issue
WHEN ASKED WHY THE TATTOO SHOP DOESN'T PUT SIGNS ON THEIR OWN BUILDING, EMPLOYEES TELL ME THEY DON'T WANT TO RUIN THIS MURAL
KONRAD LIPKA WITH THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY BEHIND THE APARTMENTS TEXTED THIS STATEMENT TO ME WHICH READS IN PART,
QUOTE WE ARE ACTIVELY WORKING WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT AND THE CITY TO ADDRESS THE MATTER
IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE PARKING LOT BETWEEN FALLEN HEROES AND 532 IS PRIVATE PROPERTY, OWNED BY 532, AND IS RESERVED FOR PERMIT PARKING FOR ITS RESIDENTS
THE NEIGHBORING BUILDING DOES NOT HAVE LEGAL ACCESS TO THIS LOT
LIPKA HAS NOT ANSWERED ANY FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS I HAVE
