I second the suggestion that you should contact your county health officer, and then perhaps the commercial/business licensing department within your city/county as they would be the ones who could provde an official comment on whether they consider it a no-go. And even if they give their nod, at the end of the day it's still the owner's call.
Personally, If I were getting inked I'd be far less worried about some fish a few feet away than I would be about the potential bacterial or viral infection the guy in the next chair over might be harboring. But then again, that might just be my paranoia talking.
I guess worst case scenario you could drain it, sanitize it and see if your boss would go for some food coloring, an airstone, and perhaps a blacklight with some glow in the dark inserts.
