Night Beat: The urge for ink after a drink, or 2

ALBANY — It's 10 p.m. Most of the shops and restaurants on Lark Street are closed. The bars are not.Crowds of scantily clad people in their 20s and 30s meander from bar to bar – it is, after all, Thirsty Thursday.At the corner of Lark and Lancaster, the lights remain on in the Curly Wolf Tattoo Club. The neon "Open" sign in the window is at eye level, catching the gaze of passersby on their way to the next stop in a night of fun.
