Tattoo shops in Gothenburg
Gothenburg, Västra Götaland has 39 tattoo shops on the map. All 39 are mapped as tattoo studios proper, and each one is worth a portfolio browse before you commit — style varies more between shops than towns. Walk-ins are worth asking about, but the good custom work everywhere books weeks out.
This guide covers every tattoo shop we could verify in and around Gothenburg (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Nancy Fancy Tattoo and Painted Pirate tattoo, plus Gothenburg Tattoo. If a studio's missing from Gothenburg's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

Tattoo tips for Gothenburg
Picking a studio in Gothenburg? A little homework pays off:
- Don't pick the scabs at Nancy Fancy Tattoo. Healing tattoos itch and flake. Picking pulls ink out with the scab and leaves patchy spots.
- Walk-ins mean flash, usually at Painted Pirate tattoo. If you want custom work, book ahead. Walk-in slots are for flash designs and small pieces.
- No swimming while it heals. Pools, lakes, hot tubs — all off limits for two to three weeks. Fresh tattoos and bacteria don't mix.
- 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
We searched about 40 km around Gothenburg — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new tattoo shop in Gothenburg can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 39 that's closed, or a great tattoo shop we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.
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 39 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.
