The waiting list for a chance to get a Mark of Cain tattoo is lengthy but his customers insist it is worth their time. The Mark of Cain is located off King Street. 		    Although Charles Cain, owner of the Mark of Cain tattoo parlor, may look like the stereotypical tattoo artist, he claims the similarities end there.
