Jerzey Tat, a River Road tattoo parlor that opened last November, will close up shop in Fair Lawn at the end of next month.
Less than a year after opening up shop on River Road, Bruce Walker has decided to take his tattoo business elsewhere. Faced recently with the prospect of a 100 percent rent increase over the next two years, the Saddle Brook resident and owner of Jerzey Tat said that even as the shop has been gaining momentum, he can't justify staying in Fair Lawn.

Jerzey Tat, LLC, a body art studio, jumped its final hurdle Monday on way to becoming Fair Lawn's newest business. The studio, which will do tattoos and full body piercings, was granted a use variance by the Zoning Board Monday, to permit its operation at 16-23 River Road. A body art studio had not previously been a permitted use for the area, though the existing Fair Lawn zoning code does not prohibit tattoo parlors from operating in the borough.
