Tattoo's Tattoo's II

Tattoo's in La Crosse opened as primarily a lesbian bar. It is believed to have opened sometime in 1982, first being listed in 1983 national Gay Guides. It was then listed in the Bar Guide listings of 'In Step' magazine from that magazine's first issue in February 1983 until the bar closed on January 12, 1989. One thing of note is that the 1983 issue of 'Places of Interest' listed the bar as "primarily women", but the 1984 issue of the same guide listed it as "men and women".

Other national gay guides also subsequently indicated the bar was for both men and women. However, throughout In Step's listings (Feb. 1983-Dec. 1988) it was listed as "Wm D", meaning "Primarily women but men welcome/ Dancing).
