CONWAY — Tattoos are known to be attention grabbers, and that's true for Greg Mossman of North Country Fair Jewelers of North Conway, who is featured with his novel back-of-head tattoo in the April issue of the glossy retail jewelers magazine, INSTORE.
He’s part of the magazine’s monthly GetInspired back page, which “explores the lives and motivation of your fellow jewelers.”
