# Jo Chastney Fine Line Tattooing

Jo Chastney is a professional tattoo artist based in Bournemouth who operates from a private, eco-conscious lounge situated in the loft space of Bad Hand Coffee. Operating under a they/them pronouns, Jo specialises in fine line, blackwork and dot-work tattoos whilst remaining open to exploring all styles. The studio reflects Jo's commitment to sustainability and ethical practices; the space itself was constructed using upcycled materials and environmentally conscious building processes.

What distinguishes Jo Chastney from typical tattoo studios is the holistic approach to both the craft and lifestyle. The artist is actively documenting their journey towards a happier, healthier, slower way of living through YouTube content, offering potential clients transparency and educational value beyond the tattoo itself. The location within Bad Hand Coffee—a creative hub for local artists and makers—creates a welcoming, warm atmosphere that extends beyond traditional commercial tattooing. This positioning attracts clients seeking not just quality ink work, but an experience aligned with conscious living values.

Jo welcomes first-time tattoo clients and provides guidance through the process via published video tutorials. The private studio setting ensures a personalised, intimate appointment experience. The artist actively builds community through newsletters and social media, maintaining regular communication about diary openings rather than adopting a walk-in model.
