Tattoo Shop Stockholm: Best Studios, Walk-ins, Prices And How To Choose [2026]

Searching "tattoo shop Stockholm" usually means you want a real, physical studio you can trust—plus a clear idea of price, availability, and style fit.

If you want the fastest route to the right specialist, you can submit your idea on Tattoo3 and we can match your tattoo idea to the right Stockholm-area artist. (Tattoo3 Stockholm)

Best tattoo shops in Stockholm (how to pick the right one)

There is not one "best tattoo shop" for everyone. The best shop for you depends on style specialization, portfolio consistency, and whether your idea fits the way that studio works (walk-in vs appointment, small vs large, etc.).

Use this quick filter:

1) Style fit beats hype

A shop can be excellent—and still wrong for your tattoo.

• Fine line and micro tattoos need artists who do clean, delicate linework daily—see fine line tattoo Stockholm for a dedicated guide
• Realism needs artists who understand contrast and longevity
• Traditional needs bold outlines + solid packing for readability over time—see Stockholm classic tattoo for tips and studios

If you are not 100% sure what your style is, it is often easier to submit 1–3 references on Tattoo3 and get matched to the right Stockholm-area artist rather than guessing from a "top 10" list. (Tattoo3 Stockholm)

2) Look for proof, not promises

What to check before you message any shop:

• Recent work (last 30–60 days) in your style
• Healed photos (when possible)
• Consistency (do 10 examples look equally good?)

3) Choose the right "shop type" for your goal

• Walk-in friendly shops → best for small, simple pieces
• Appointment-only / custom shops → best for large work, realism, cover-ups
• Multi-artist studios → higher odds you will find a specialist in-house

Walk-in tattoo shop Stockholm: what qualifies (and what does not)

For full details on drop-in hours, studios, and rules, see drop in tattoo Stockholm. Walk-ins are usually for small, simple tattoos—not large, highly detailed projects.

Examples of walk-in policies published by Stockholm studios:

• Studio Seven Tattoo lists Mon–Fri 12:00–18:00 and Saturday walk-ins 12:00–16:00 (with a max per hour note). (studioseven)
• Beehive Tattoo Studio says drop-ins are typically small tattoos and gives an example price range for drop-in sized work. (Beehive Tattoo Studio)

Walk-ins are a great fit for:

• Flash designs
• Small linework
• Simple symbols
• Minimal shading

Walk-ins are usually not ideal for:

• Large realism
• Cover-ups
• Designs that need custom drawing time

If you want a tattoo soon but you are unsure what is realistic for a walk-in, submitting your idea once and getting matched to an artist with the right availability is often the cleanest move. (Tattoo3 Stockholm)

Tattoo shop Stockholm prices: what you will pay in 2026

Stockholm tattoo pricing usually follows: studio minimum → size → detail → placement → time.

Here are published anchors from Stockholm studios (examples):

• Beehive Tattoo Studio lists a starting price at the studio: 1500 kr and provides a size-based price list. (Beehive Tattoo Studio)
• Beehive also notes drop-in sized tattoos often land around 1500–3000 kr depending on design/size/placement. (Beehive Tattoo Studio)

What makes the price go up fast

• Very small tattoos with high detail (they take longer than you think)
• Placements that are harder to tattoo cleanly
• Heavy shading, dense black, or saturated color
• Reworks/cover-ups

If your budget is fixed, it helps to share your references and budget range upfront so you get routed to a realistic match (instead of falling in love with a style that is out of scope). (Tattoo3 Stockholm)

Tattoo studio vs tattoo shop in Stockholm: what is the difference?

People search both "tattoo shop Stockholm" and "tattoo studio Stockholm." In practice, most Stockholm businesses use "studio," but searchers mean the same thing:

• A place with professional tattoo artists
• A bookable process (walk-in or appointment)
• A portfolio that matches your style

Stockholm tattoo shops to start with (verified, publicly stated info)

These are starting points with clear public policies on their own websites (hours, walk-ins, pricing, etc.). Always verify style fit via portfolio and confirm current policies on the studio's site.

• Beehive Tattoo Studio — central Stockholm; publishes starting price (1500 kr) and a price list. (Beehive Tattoo Studio)
• Studio Seven Tattoo — publishes opening hours and Saturday walk-in window; notes approval and membership info on its English info page. (studioseven)

(If you want a longer shortlist later, the safest way is to expand this list only with studios whose official sites clearly state address, booking policy, and style focus—so the article stays accurate as things change.)

Safety & regulations: what "legit" looks like in Stockholm

Two quick, high-signal facts:

1) Tattoo businesses are treated as "hygienic treatment"

Stockholms stad states that professional hygienic treatments (including tattooing) must be notified, and after the city receives the notification they will contact the operator to schedule an inspection. (Stockholms stad)

2) Tattoo inks are regulated at EU level

ECHA explains that thousands of hazardous chemicals found in tattoo inks and permanent make-up are restricted in the EU under REACH to protect citizens. (ECHA)

Client-side safety checklist (fast)

• Clear hygiene routine (single-use needles, clean surfaces)
• Calm answers to questions
• Written aftercare guidance
• Transparent pricing/minimums
