Good tattoos. Simple
Welcome to
Mystic Workshop
Nestled on the edge of Bournemouth, Mystic Workshop is a semi-private tattoo studio built to feel a little different.
Think more cabinet of curiosities than a bleak, sterile clinic.
We’re home to three artists with their own distinct styles, creating custom tattoos in a laid-back space without the conveyor-belt feel of a busy high-street studio.

Why the Workshop?
Specialists, Not Generalists
Each artist has their own area of specialisation that they focus on. That means you can choose someone who genuinely suits the tattoo you're looking for.
Custom Drawn, Always
Your tattoo should feel like yours. We create our artwork ourselves rather than relying on AI-generated designs, copied tattoos or someone else's Pinterest piece.
Semi-Private by Design
No shoulder-to-shoulder conveyor belt. Mystic Workshop is calm, comfortable and deliberately laid-back. Good tattoos, good company and good music (debatable).
Professional Where it Matters
We're a fully licensed studio with dedicated workstations, professional equipment and proper hygiene standards throughout.
Relaxed atmosphere. Professional standards.

“Really cool independent studio. Had a tattoo with Dan a few weeks ago and it was a great experience, he was very professional and friendly, I'll definitely be back to grab another tat soon!”

“Shaun is a wizard with a tattoo needle. I discovered mystic workshop through their website and was instantly hooked, and the artists' Instagrams solidified this. Absolutely recommend, the vibes are very cosy and the music of course is great”
