An attorney representing a tattoo parlor applicant has filed a claim
against Mesa seeking $69,800 plus interest for the money they spent to
try to open the business and profits lost.
They're also asking for either the right to open the parlor, or an extra $25,000 plus interest.
The notice of claim, a precursor to a lawsuit, comes slightly less
than six months after the Mesa City Council rejected an application by
Ryan Coleman to open Angel Tattoo near Dobson and Baseline roads.
The city has 60 days to respond. If it doesn't, it would be considered a denial of the claim.
"Then we may file a lawsuit if we so choose," said Michael Kielsky, the attorney representing Coleman.
