New tattoo studio proposed in Harrogate
Plans to convert a now-vacant hair salon into a tattooing studio in Harrogate have been submitted.
Rosemary Madden, whose company name is listed as Rosie M Tattooer, has sought approval to convert the former Chalmers & Elder hairdressing salon on East Parade into an appointment-only tattooing parlour.
The salon closed on January 31 after its owner moved services to an at-home site.
According to the change of use plans, the studio would be a “private, custom tattoo studio for one experienced artist”.
Ms Madden has worked as a tattoo artist in Harrogate for more than two decades, plans add.
The application says:
The proposal will bring an occupied use to an existing commercial unit already previously used for nails, beauty treatments and hair cutting, contributing positively to the vitality and viability of the town centre and the up-and-coming East Parades [sic], small independent business network.
The proposed tattoo parlour would generate “minimal noise and footfall”, as it would be solely appointment-based.
No external changes are propsed as part of the plans.
The application also says there would be no loud music or late-night operations, adding the site would open between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Saturday.
The plans were put forward last week. North Yorkshire Council will issue a verdict at a later date.
