When choosing a location, make sure you find out what the health-board regulations in your area require. Things you may need to consider are the room size, sink placements, ventilation, sterilization room requirements, and flooring. Any alterations to the site will depend on whether you are renting and are able to upgrade the facility in order to meet health codes. Also, consider the costs to do the alterations. When you are just starting a business, major renovations could set you back financially. (See Chapter 6 for more information on health regulations.)

You will never find a restaurant with a tattoo studio located in it. Tattooing and piercing cannot take place on the same premises in which food and beverages are served. To be approved to open a tattoo studio in a nightclub is extremely difficult even if you can find a health board that will permit this. The studio will have to have a separate entrance other than the nightclub entrance and it will have to be enclosed. Absolutely no alcoholic beverages will be allowed in the studio.
