Tattoo parlor to open

Tenant improvement permits were issued in July by the City of Chino Hills for a 1,080-square-foot tattoo parlor called “Kultura Ink” to be located in the Chino Hills Promenade on Pipeline Avenue at the 71 Freeway, the shopping center where Little Caesars is located. 

If approved, this would be the city’s first tattoo parlor. In 2004, the city restricted locations for tattoo parlors, but amendments were made to the code in 2019 that allowed tattoo stores in commercial zones, like permanent makeup and body piercing uses. 

Solar and EV systems popular

Permits for photovoltaic systems, energy storage systems, and electrical vehicle charging systems continue to be very popular in Chino Hills, with a total of 88 permits issued in July for these systems, according to City of Chino Hills building official Winston Ward. He said these three permit types accounted for more than 45 percent of the permits issued last month.
