Commission OKs conditional use for Opelux paramedical tattoo booth at Montgomery Highway shopping center
Summary
A conditional-use request from Aaron Hodes to operate Opelux, a paramedical tattoo practice within a multi-stall salon at 1713 Montgomery Highway, Suite 109, was approved with conditions limiting practice to paramedical services, requiring a certificate of occupancy and business license before opening, and making the conditional use non-transferable.
The Hoover Planning and Zoning Commission approved a conditional-use permit for Opelux, a paramedical tattoo practice that will operate in a booth within a multi-stall salon at 1713 Montgomery Highway, Suite 109.
Staff described the business as providing paramedical tattooing—replicating natural skin tones and features to mask scarring from surgery or birth defects—and recommended approval with three conditions: the business must only engage in the paramedical tattooing described in the application; the applicant must obtain a certificate of occupancy and business license before opening; and the conditional use may not be transferred to another business owner or to another location without reapplication. Staff also noted that state licensing/inspection parallels cosmetic or tattoo practices and that some state review may be required prior to operation.
Commissioners motioned to approve the conditional use subject to staff comments; the motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote. The item returns to the administrative permitting process for required inspections and licenses before the business may open.
