Chichester art gallery could become new tattoo studio

Plans have been submitted to Chichester District Council to turn the former Island Fine Arts gallery in South Street into a tattoo studio.

Turning the site into a tattoo studio requires a change of use for the building and plans say the only alteration to the building’s appearance would be changing the shop name.

A determination deadline has been set for February 6 and could confirm the arrival of ‘Sanctum Tattoo’.

Plans were submitted to the district council in November last year after the art gallery closed its doors.
