Tattoo Stockholm: the quick answer

If you want to make the right choice quickly:

• Pick the style first (fine line ≠ realism ≠ traditional)
• Choose an artist who does that style weekly (not "sometimes")
• Use a realistic size (tiny + detailed = higher risk of blur)
• Expect a studio minimum and prices scaling with size/placement/detail
• For the easiest path: send your idea once and get matched to the right Stockholm-area artist (Tattoo3 Stockholm)

How to choose a tattoo artist in Stockholm (the 90-second checklist)

Before you book anywhere, check these:

1) Portfolio fit (most important)

• Do they post your exact style repeatedly?
• Do they show healed work (not only fresh)?
• Zoom in: are lines consistent? does shading look clean?

2) Design + placement realism

• Hands/fingers/feet/inner elbow: higher wear, more touch-up risk
• Ultra-fine details at very small sizes: often soften faster

3) Studio basics you should feel confident about

You should be able to ask simple hygiene/ink/aftercare questions and get calm answers (not attitude).

If you would rather skip the "is this the right person?" guessing phase, send your references + placement + budget through Tattoo3 and we will match you to an artist who actually fits the style. (Tattoo3 Stockholm)

• Tiny symbol (2–4 cm): often around the studio minimum
• Small (5–8 cm): usually above minimum, depending on detail
• Medium (10–15 cm): can jump quickly with shading/complexity

Safety, hygiene & rules in Stockholm / Sweden

Two key things worth knowing:

1) Stockholm oversight for tattoo businesses

Stockholms stad states that tattooing is a form of hygienic treatment that must be reported ("anmälas"), and after receiving the notification the city says you will be contacted to book an inspection. (tillstand.stockholm)

2) Tattoo ink restrictions in the EU

The EU restricts hazardous substances in tattoo inks and permanent make-up under REACH, and ECHA explains the restrictions are meant to protect citizens by limiting thousands of hazardous chemicals. (ECHA)

Age + special cases

Läkemedelsverket states you should be 18+ to tattoo and advises pregnant/breastfeeding people not to tattoo. (lakemedelsverket.se)

Aftercare basics (keep it simple)

Follow your artist's instructions first, but the "always true" rules include:

• Keep it clean and do not pick
• Avoid soaking (pools, hot tubs, lakes) while healing (Mayo Clinic)
• If you suspect infection or a serious reaction, contact a healthcare professional; FDA notes infections and allergic reactions can happen and even sealed inks can be contaminated. (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)

Tourist & expat tips for tattooing in Stockholm

• Do not tattoo right before sauna/spa/swimming plans (healing + soaking do not mix). (Mayo Clinic)
• If you are visiting briefly, choose a design that is realistic for one session.
• Bring valid ID—some studios explicitly request it on their info pages. (studioseven)
