A FORMER office space could be transformed into a new tattoo studio should plans be approved by civic chiefs.
Plans to turn an office space on High Street in Southampton have been submitted to Southampton City Council.
The building was a former accountant office and is currently empty.
The plans have been submitted by Archie Cook, an award-winning tattoo artist and owner of Kookie Tattoo in Ringwood.
Mr Cook started tattooing at nine-years-old and was mentored by his father, Matt Cook.
Throughout his teenage years, Mr Cook was recognised by multiple magazines for his work.
He has won various awards for his work in different categories across England, and has eve tattooed international footballers.
