A former bank-turned-dance studio could become a tattoo and body piercing studio.

Proposals have been drawn up for the property at 49 High Street in Chasetown.

Applicant Joanne Webster said in a planning statement that she was keen to bring her career home. She said:

> “I lived in Chasetown for most of my young life. It has always been ‘home’ in my heart, with my family and many friends still living in the area.  
>  
> “In my adult life I have lived in many different locations in the UK in order to pursue my body piercing career which I am extremely passionate about.  
>  
> “It has been a goal of mine to set up my own professional body piercing and tattoo studio in my home town.”  
>  
> Joanne Webster

#### “Help bring new people into the area”

Joanne added that she was keen to help breathe new life into the area by taking on a premises which has been vacant for around a year:

> “Having lived and worked in various different locations over my career, I have built up a very good reputation due to the quality of my work and products used.  
>  
> “This has in turn earned me a client base from around the UK and also invitations to work at various tattoo conventions every year.  
>  
> “I feel this will all help bring new people into the area and hopefully assist other businesses locally.  
>  
> “I have friends who own other businesses on the High Street and I am looking to get involved with helping to revitalise the area, and where possible help with local community projects, be it through fund raising or other means.”  
>
