Tattoo tips for Akureyri

Picking a studio in Akureyri? A little homework pays off:

• Keep the bandage on as directed at Vikings Tatoo. Second-skin or cling wrap timelines vary by artist. Follow theirs, not a forum's.
• Match the artist to the style. Fine line, blackwork, traditional, realism — artists specialise. The best studio in town is the wrong one if the style's off.
• Walk-ins mean flash, usually. If you want custom work, book ahead. Walk-in slots are for flash designs and small pieces.
• Avoid the cheapest shop in town. There's a reason it's the cheapest. With tattoos you get exactly what you pay for, permanently.

Good to know

A tattoo shop that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

We don't rate studios or artists, and we never list prices — those are between you and the shop. What we list is the where and the how-to-find, from places real mappers have verified.

If you run one of the 1 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
