About Third Line Tattoo Studio

Tucked inside the Historic Village on 17th Avenue in Tauranga South, this studio offers custom tattoo work ranging from delicate floral pieces and lettering to character art and tā moko. Having an artist draft an original design from scratch and tweak line weights on the spot makes all the difference when committing ink to skin, and resident artists Corey and Royce draw praise for clean, detailed linework and hygienic setups.

Clients frequently mention feeling comfortable during their first tattoo experience, highlighting a relaxed atmosphere where artists are patient through design adjustments and additions to existing pieces. Experiences have not been entirely seamless, however; one visitor reported a booked artist failing to show up after paying a \$100 deposit (as at 2026), with no follow-up refund. It is one of two tattoo studios within a kilometre in the Historic Village area, where its neighbour holds a higher rating. Our pick in Tauranga South for custom floral design in a quiet, village setting.
