Atlanta’s City of Ink Tattoo Shop Faces Shutdown Over Zoning Rule

City of Ink, a legacy tattoo shop in Castleberry Hill, Atlanta, is being forced to shut down. Not for breaking any rules, but because of a zoning ordinance passed after it opened. The shop has been a cultural fixture since 2007, supporting youth art mentorships, community galleries, and creative programs that the city does not fund. Owner Maya Bailey has been part of this neighborhood for decades and is now fighting to keep the business alive. A hearing is scheduled for July 17, where he plans to plead his case. This isn’t just about one shop. It’s about protecting legacy businesses and the communities that give Atlanta its identity. #cityofink #cityofinkatl #cityofinktattoo #castleberryhill #castleberryhillatl #atlantatattoo #atlantabusiness #atlantaculture #mayabailey #mayabaileyatl #legacybusinessatlanta #atlantadevelopmentnews #atlantacommunitynews #zoningatlanta #atlantarealestate #melandareese #atlshorts #atlantayoutube #atlantastories
