A Rock Island tattoo parlor that was damaged in a fire has found a new home, just about two blocks away from their last location.
On September 27, 2014 an overnight fire damaged eight buildings in the District of Rock Island, including severe damage to Jaded Gypsy Tattoo and the former Mississippi Café building next door. The vacant Mississippi Café partially collapsed. Businesses and apartment residents were displaced due to fire damage.
Weeks later, police arrested 34-year-old Jason Earl Anderson in connection with the fire, according to Rock Island Police Deputy Chief Jason Foy. Anderson was charged with one count of arson and one count of residential arson.
Previously located in the 200 block of 18th Street Jade Gypsy announced on its Facebook page that they will be moving into the old Lucky Shamrock building in the 300 block of 20th Street.
The Facebook post said the shop would be coming in early 2015.
