Tattoo artist proposes new studio in former Isle of Wight zero waste premises

A popular Isle of Wight zero waste shop is on the move and its current premises could become a new tattoo studio.

Cross Street’s Her Whey is taking over a new shop in Ryde – though it hasn’t revealed where.

Change of use application
Meanwhile, plans have been submitted to the Isle of Wight council to officially change the use of its current location.

Behind the proposals is tattoo artist, Laura Drivina, who is currently based round the corner, at Isaku Aesthetics on Ryde High Street.

Adding to the mix of local businesses
Planning documents say the 10am to 5pm shop hours would add to the mix of local commercial businesses.

New signs are proposed, along with internal decoration and a fit-out, but no major changes are expected.

View the plans
You can view the plans, 24/00230/FUL, on the Isle of Wight Council’s website.

The public consultation runs until 15th March 2024.
