A development application has been lodged with the Tweed Shire Council for a new tattoo studio in the township of Burringbar.
The artist behind the possible studio, Ben Milliken, said he plans to make the shop more focused on the art than the tattooing, as well as help change the stigma around tattooists.
âThe tattoo industry is a lot different than what it used to be,â Mr Milliken said.
âEveryone requires a licence, there are thorough background and criminal checks.
âItâs more about the art rather than the attitude.â Tattoo artwork by Ben Milliken.
Itâs what he plans to bring to Burringbar if the development and lease on the building are approved.
