Tattoo artist wants to convert bedroom

An Onchan man's applied for permission to transform a bedroom at his home into a tattoo studio.

Peter Nolan, of Royal Avenue West, says he works full-time and so only needs the studio for evenings and days off.

Mr Nolan says the studio, if approved, would cater for one private client at a time by appointment.

And he adds planning permission for his business is the final step before he can be given a license to tattoo.
