Electric Soul Tattoo and Gallery is a tattoo studio on Maunganui Road in Mount Maunganui, Tauranga, in the shop on Mount Cruise Deck at 169 Maunganui Road. Each artist has a profile on the website, and you choose the artist you want before you book. The team creates original work, so the advice is to give the artist an idea and trust them with the design. Artwork is shown on the day, and changes can be made then, because the shop does not send designs in advance.
Bookings take a deposit of usually $100 as at 2026, and the deposit is not refundable. Rescheduling needs at least 48 hours' notice. Gift cards start at $100 as at 2026 and are valid for six months. The shop is usually cash only, unless other arrangements are made. Hours are Monday to Friday, 10 am to 4 pm, and Saturday, 10 am to 3 pm. The website suggests free parking on Banks Avenue, May Street and Victoria Road.
Customers say the artists are skilled, and that the shop feels welcoming and relaxed, especially for a first tattoo. One client brought in a reference photo and was pleased with the design that came back. Another walked in on the off chance and was booked in an hour later. Clients say the artists are good company as well as good at their craft. For anyone who wants an original piece on Mount Maunganui, it is our pick in the area.
