South Coast Ink Tattoo Studio

I’ve been coming to south coast ink for over a year now for any ink I need doing - no matter the style, I’m greeted by a friendly team of artists who are happy to work hard to get the best results for me. Price is always reasonable with a free follow up appointment to touch up always offered. These boys work hard hours to get you the result you want. Highly recommend, thank you SCI!

Had the pleasure of having Rob tattoo my arm for a sleeve and also got rob to do a chest piece. Not only did he provide his own input and artistic knowledge to the design I brought to him, but he seemed genuinely passionate about what I’d asked him to tattoo. After a week, the tattoo is healing well and I’ve had lots of compliments. Will be going back soon for another one. Friendly and professional guys, made to feel very welcome. Would highly recommend.

Drew has done my last 8 tattoos - both big pieces and small designs, and a mixture of black and white and colour. He's done an awesome job on all of them and I'll keep going back. All the other artists and owner are super friendly and chilled too, sweet studio to hang out in!

Genuinely the best tattoo experience I have ever had. Sat down with Drew who gave me two beautiful pieces with excellent follow up communication afterwards. Me and Drew have agreed on some more designs for the future and I’m 100% making Drew my regular artist. Cheers guys!

I fell in love with South Coast Ink since around Xmas 2019 and wouldn't recommend another tattoo shop in Bournemouth ever since! Everyone who works there is absolutely great, very friendly and make anyone feel at home, even if you're only visiting; i've had 6 tattoos done there and i would not go to another place in this town. The art is incredible, the people are awesome and it's just a lovely experience altogether. If you walk around the city centre and feel like getting inked, just go see these guys, you will not regret it.

Went in for my first tattoo, had idea of what I wanted , Tom got that all sorted for me , made sure I was happy with it , he calmed me down , he was so professional, I’m in love with my tattoo exactly what I wanted , defo would go in a ask for Tom , Amazing experience

Yesterday I had my first big tattoo done at South Coast Ink, and omg, it was the best experience of getting a tattoo, Drew was amazing he did a fab job and got exactly what I wanted into my tattoo, every time I look at it I can not believe how perfect it looks and its just everything I want. I was well looked after for the whole six hours I was there and I can't wait for round 2! Highly recommended!The other tattooists in the studio also produce amazing high quality work and everyone is so friendly. Just an incredib studio all together.

I was feeling very spontaneous and decided to go in and see if there were any walk in appointments available and there I met Molli, she is an amazing artist and made me feel very comfortable, my anxiety just disappeared! I couldn't be more greatful to Molli for my new amazing tattoo, she did an amazing job.

I had Drew do me an ankle tattoo. Firstly I booked in for a couple hours as he recommended, but he did not finish it within this slot so I had to book another. This happened with the next appointment too so I ended up spending more than i originally wanted. I would have been fine with this, however after my third appointment with Drew I was really not happy with what he had done. Symmetrical parts were not symmetrical and parts were wonky and different sizes. In addition the whole tattoo was already faded.After speaking about this with Drew he offered to give me free time to fix this, however I had lost confidence in him by this point so I decided to go somewhere else. Where they redid and fixed it amazingly and pointed out many areas Drew had not done correctly.In total the fix cost me £250 and the original from Drew over £300. So i asked Drew for some money back to help cover the cost. He would not give me more than £30 which I feel is outrageous given the amount I spent on it.I am not one to normally bad mouth someone and destroy someones rep, especially as drew is a nice guy, however I feel that this all needed to be said.I would like to add that some of the other tattooists at this studio looked to be producing very high quality work.
