Tattoo and piercing - not the sort of specialist shop that Brigg's central shopping area, I believe, really needs.

Brigg, over the years, has been very successful in attracting a variety of connoiseur outlets. The town has maintained its important image as a traditional market town, while meaningfully encouraging a quality range of gourmet retailers.

Will a tattoo parlour in a main shopping thoroughfare add prestige to Brigg's image?

Personally, I think not - a dilettante is inappropriate and, if approved,could negatively affect the perception and actuality of Brigg as a unique and quality shopping centre.

Essentially, it's out of character to the retail ambience that Brigg wishes to promote for its main street shops.
