He just knew he wanted them to stop doing it in front of his daughter; so he contacted his city councilman.
"I had to have him explain it a few times for me to fully understand the concept of what was going on," says Springfield Zone 1 City Councilman Nick Ibarra.
He wants to help King protect his children; but has to consider the rights of King's neighbors as well. "One of the issues we have here is a property rights issue and it's always a delicate issue when you're dealing with people's property. They have every right to do what they want to do. I think it's a little uncouth to be doing it in full view of your neighbors," says Ibarra.
Ibarra says it's not his right to tell people what they can and can't do in their own back yard; unless what they're doing is illegal; in this case, he's not so sure it shouldn't be. "There is a health issue; if these people are not properly licensed to do tattoos, body piercing, that type of thing, and not doing it in the appropriate manner, there's a serious health issue," says Ibarra.
Aaron doesn't care what issue the city takes up; just as long as it stops happening in front of his kids. "I don't think anyone should be forced into a situation where they go into their own back yard and have no choice but to see this type of thing happening," says King.
"If it's something you want to do I just want to make sure you're doing it outside the view of the general public; especially if you're not licensed to be doing it," says Ibarra.
Members of the group that do the suspending call themselves A.G.R.O. which stands for Anti-Gravity Relaxation Organization.
Members tell KY3 News that body suspending has been around for thousands of years.
They feel there should be regulations in place to protect them, the ones doing the suspending, rather than the onlookers.
