A popular Big Apple tattoo biz is suing former workers who went public over its alleged nasty conditions — including the use of bloody tools amid rats, roaches and bedbugs. Live by the Sword — which claims to have had 300,000 tat and piercing clients at its trendy SoHo and Williamsburg locations in the past decade — recently filed a $3 million lawsuit against three ex-piercers, claiming they “colluded” to harm its business and “knowingly [published] false and misleading statements, images and information” on social media. The defamatory posts include pictures of spilled needles, dirty sinks, rodent and insect pests and stories of clients stepping in pools of blood, according to the Manhattan Supreme Court filing.
