A tattoo studio could become a permanent fixture on Blackwood High Street – at the former office of a Labour Senedd Member.

Islwyn MS Rhianon Passmore’s former office will be be turned into a tattoo studio, if planning permission is granted by Caerphilly County Borough Council.

A planning application has been submitted by tattooist Sean McCafferty to change the use of the building from an office space to a tattoo studio – this type of change needs planning permission from the council.

The proposed opening times for the studio are 11am until 5pm from Monday to Saturday.

Ms Passmore’s office is now based at Newbridge Memo.

A decision on the tattoo studio is expected to be made by the council’s planning department by August 4.
