Tattoo shops in Trondheim

Trondheim, Trøndelag has 8 tattoo shops on the map. All 8 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 Trondheim (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Freaks Tattoo Parlour and Flaming Heart Tattoo, plus Mythos Tattoo. If a studio's missing from Trondheim's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

5 have websites listed. Studios with websites usually show portfolios there — the fastest way to tell if a shop's style matches yours.

Tattoo tips for Trondheim

First tattoo or fiftieth — the rules don't change in Trondheim:

• Don't drink the night before at Freaks Tattoo Parlour. Alcohol thins the blood and makes you bleed more, which pushes ink out. Arrive sober and hydrated.
• Sun is the enemy of fresh ink at Flaming Heart Tattoo. UV fades tattoos fast, especially new ones. Once healed, sunscreen on the tattoo becomes a lifelong habit.
• No swimming while it heals. Pools, lakes, hot tubs — all off limits for two to three weeks. Fresh tattoos and bacteria don't mix.
• Think about placement long-term. Hands, neck and face limit job options in some fields. Your artist will be honest about this if you ask.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Trondheim — 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 Trondheim can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 8 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 8 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.
