What do you think of a business offering massage, yoga and tattoos under one roof?

I’m planning a business and would like some feedback on the reality of this being a good idea. Do you think it will fly and be a lucrative way to go? Do they all mess well together. I feel tattoo artists can def benefit from massages for their work? What do you think?
I think it would defintly be a good idea.. anyone who’d be panicky about getting a tattoo could go for a massage before or yoga class before there tattoo to calm them selves down. Would be a great idea in my eyes
Good Luck if you do go ahead with it.
I think it sounds like a really good idea. Those kinds of things go together really well. Good luck if you decide to go ahead and do it!
no business is going to want to share space with a tattoo parlor and their clientele. Tattoos are associated with mental illness and dysfunction. Peer-reviewed scientific studies conclude that tattooed and pierced people share characteristics with the following extremely undesirable groups of suffering and damaged people:
pickers
burners
head bangers
self cutters
self-injurers
dangerous risk takers
eating disorders
self-haters
substance abuser
depressed
socially alienated
“In 1999 The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry listed tattooing and ‘excessive piercing’ along with picking, burning, head-banging and cutting as forms of self-injury. In The Journal of Psychosomatic Research (2006, volume 6, issue 4), Adolescence (2002, volume 37, issue 147), The Journal of Adolescent Health (2005, volume 36, issue 4), Deviant Behavior (2009, volume 30, issue 6) and Pediatrics (2002, volume 109, issue 60), tattooing and body piercing are associated with dangerous and sometimes lethal risk-taking behavior, eating disorders, self-loathing, substance abuse, depression and social alienation.”
No legitimate business is going to want to have anything to do with tattoos and the people who get them.
I think the yoga and massage would go well together, not so sure about the third rail.
…and ignore the resident troll.
I don’t think it would be a really good mix. You can try it, but it might not fly. Yoga and massage might be alright together, I guess, but the state has very stringent laws governing tattoo studios. It’s a whole different animal. They might attract some interest together, but it’s different from a legal standpoint. Your tattoo studio is going to be more lucrative, if it’s done right, with a good location. Get as close to a military base as you can. Don’t know on the massage/yoga idea being involved. Sounds risky. Hehe. She’s not a troll, just a ‘tattoo bigot’ that has had bad experiences with a tattooed person in her life at some point. Somebody scared her, now she’s a crusader.
