Business that opened in Wichita was notified its presence is against city code, but that code may now change

Thanh Do strategically chose Old Town last year when he was opening Afterlife Tattooz. “It’s in the middle of everywhere,” he said. “You’ve got to be centralized.” Only after opening in part of the former First Gear space at 111 N. Mosley did he learn from the city that he’s operating in violation of the unified zoning code. There’s a special overlay district on top of the standard zoning district that does not allow tattoo parlors or piercing studios in the area. “They’ve been giving us notice to get out,” Do said. He said the city has given him extensions, though, as it considers changing the code. Do said he can remain “until they settled that once and for all.”
