Why Timebomb Tattoo & Piercing is Bournemouth’s Best Tattoo Shop
When it comes to finding the best tattoo and piercing shop in Bournemouth, locals and visitors alike turn to one name: Timebomb Tattoo & Piercing. Established in 2003 in South London and proudly opened a second studio located in the heart of Bournemouth town centre, Timebomb has built a rock-solid reputation for creativity, professionalism, and outstanding customer service.
Here’s why Timebomb continues to lead the way in the UK body art scene.
Prime Location in Bournemouth
Situated at 109 Old Christchurch Road, BH1 1EP, Timebomb is right in the centre of the action—just a short walk from the beach, shops, and transport links. Whether you’re planning a custom piece or walking in on a whim, it’s the most accessible and central studio in town.
Tattoos & Piercings by Trusted Experts
Timebomb isn’t just another tattoo shop—it’s a hub for experienced, passionate artists and piercers who take pride in their craft. Every artist is skilled in a wide range of styles, from bold traditional and fine linework to custom black and grey pieces.
In the piercing room, you’ll find licensed professionals using only high-grade jewellery and sterile tools. Plus, we were the first studio in the UK to go fully digital with our piercing consent forms—making your experience seamless and eco-friendly.
Fully Licensed, Highly Hygienic
Your safety is our priority. Timebomb is fully licensed by Bournemouth Council and operates under a strict hygiene regime that exceeds industry standards. Every tattoo and piercing session takes place in a clean, professionally maintained environment using top-of-the-line equipment and single-use materials.
Walk-In Friendly
Got an idea and want it today? No problem. Timebomb is one of the few studios in Bournemouth that welcomes walk-in tattoos and piercings, offering flexibility without sacrificing quality. Just drop by, speak with our friendly team, and we’ll do our best to get you in the chair.
Modern Payment Options – Including Bitcoin
In 2024, Timebomb became the first tattoo and piercing studio in the UK to accept Bitcoin payments. Whether you prefer cash, card, or crypto, we make the payment process smooth and modern—because great art deserves convenience too.
A Friendly, Professional Environment
Our team is known for making everyone feel welcome—whether it’s your first tattoo or your fiftieth. We take time to discuss your ideas, guide you through the process, and make sure you’re 100% comfortable before we begin.
Our second studio in Dorset, opened in recent years, brings that same excellence to even more clients while reinforcing our place as a leader in the South Coast tattoo community.
