restaurant has cop excort man out because he has face tattoos

Leighton, a 27-year-old chemical plant worker and Pasadena resident went to the Bombshells near Fuqua on Saturday night after seeing Alan Jackson hours earlier at RodeoHouston (see review and photos). He and a friend Chad Moss, 22, entered the bar sometime around 9 p.m. Leighton says.



He had been there a few times before and was never told to leave because of his facial tattoos until Saturday evening.
He says that a police officer walked up to the table that he and Moss were sitting at and said that he needed to escort them out of the bar.
At the other Bombshells locations, including the one down Gulf Freeway in Webster, he says he has always been welcomed even with the tattoos on his face.

The staff member even offered to meet with Leighton at the Bombshells in Webster to chat. They also apologized for any embarrassment he felt on Saturday.
They did stress that this location is a special case and they didn’t want gangs to “overtake” the establishment.

There is such severe mental illness in the ENTIRE non liberal population, so much so that we will not survive it.

Dont know if climate change will get us first or nuclear war, but one of them for sure

Besides that, if there is lots of gang activity the cops should know what tats to look for. Sounds like they just don't like tats.

I also doubt gang members like Alan Jackson.

Bars always seem to have some sence of exclusivity so they can brand their desired clientele .

7 billion people all searching for individuality .

1) Escorting a man out of the bar for facial tatoos.

2) Someone getting a facial tatoo.
