Manager Chris McFarlane said new locations for the long-running tattoo studio had been inspected in both Albury and Wodonga.

The business, which had operated for about 30 years, was forced to close last month after owner Kristen Brill was denied a licence.

Mr McFarlane said tattoo studios were being targeted due to outlaw motorcycle gang links, but said bikies had links to “heaps of businesses”.

“I suppose it’s a bit one-sided when the NSW Police commissioner can just say no to someone, just like that, without thinking of the consequences of people who worked there,” he said.

The five tattooists moved to High on Ink in Wodonga and Mr McFarlane is hopeful of finding a permanent studio soon.
