What qualifies as a drop-in tattoo in Stockholm?

Most drop-ins are designed to fit into a short slot and be done cleanly without custom drawing time.

Common "yes" designs:

• Flash (pre-drawn) tattoos
• Small symbols, simple linework
• Minimal text (short, clear fonts)
• Small traditional motifs (bold + readable)

Common "not today" designs:

• Large realism pieces
• Cover-ups/reworks
• Highly detailed micro designs that need long sessions
• Anything requiring custom composition on the spot

Real published examples:

• "Hand size or smaller" for drop-ins (Infamous). (Infamous Studio Tattooing)
• "Up to 5 cm" typical for drop-ins (Beehive). (Beehive Tattoo Studio)
• Saturday walk-ins with a capped throughput (Studio Seven: max 1/hour). (studioseven)

Drop-in tattoo prices in Stockholm

There is no single rate—pricing depends on size, placement, detail, and time—but studios publish useful anchors:

• 1200 SEK minimum (Infamous). (Infamous Studio Tattooing)
• ~1500–3000 kr typical drop-in range for small tattoos (Beehive). (Beehive Tattoo Studio)

What makes the price jump fast (even for "small" tattoos):

• Very fine detail in a tiny size (takes longer than it looks)
• Difficult placements (more time + precision)
• Dense black or heavy shading

If you have a strict budget, it is often better to submit your references and budget once at Tattoo3 so you are matched to an artist who can realistically execute it within that range.

Best times to show up for a drop-in

This is about odds, not guarantees:

• Before the queue starts (or right at opening) is usually your best shot.
• Fridays and Saturdays are typically busiest (common drop-in days).
• Bring a backup idea (e.g., a simpler version) in case the artist suggests adjustments for time.

Safety & hygiene basics in Stockholm

You do not need to be an expert—just look for clear, professional processes.

What "regulated" means locally

Stockholm classifies tattooing under professional hygienic treatment; the city states that when they have received a notification, the operator is contacted to schedule an inspection. (tillstand.stockholm)

Ink safety in the EU

European Chemicals Agency notes that thousands of hazardous chemicals in tattoo inks/permanent make-up are restricted in the EU under REACH. (European Chemicals Agency)

Age + special cases

Läkemedelsverket advises you should be 18+ to tattoo and discourages tattooing if pregnant or breastfeeding. (lakemedelsverket.se)

Styles that work especially well for drop-ins

If you are choosing something "drop-in friendly," these styles often translate well at small sizes:

• Fine line (small + clean): Fine Line Tattoo Stockholm: Prices, Artists, Aftercare
• Classic / traditional (bold + readable): Stockholm Classic Tattoo: Artists, Prices, And Tips

If you are unsure which direction fits your references, submit them at Tattoo3 and we can match your tattoo idea to the right artist in Stockholm.

Tourist tips for drop-in tattoos

• Do not plan a tattoo right before swimming/sauna/spa time—healing skin does not love soaking.
• If you are leaving soon, choose a design that is realistic for one session.
• Bring valid ID (again—some studios explicitly request it). (studioseven)
