How to Book a Tattoo Appointment at Viking Tattoo Studio in Linköping

Updated

Booking at Viking Tattoo Studio can only be done in person at the studio — there is no online or phone booking. You pay a deposit of 500 or 1,000 SEK when you book, and the waiting time is usually a few months. The deposit is only refunded if you cancel at least one week before your booked time. You must be 18 or older for any tattoo.

What you need to know before you go

Viking Tattoo Studio opened in 1993 and is run by Peter "nypa" Nyberg, described on the site as one of Sweden's most experienced tattooers. Since 2006 he has worked alone in the studio, which the site says lets him focus as much as possible on each individual customer.

A few conditions shape how booking works:

  • Booking channel: Appointments can only be booked at the studio.
  • Waiting time: Usually a few months.
  • Deposit: 500 SEK or 1,000 SEK, paid at the time of booking.
  • Refund rule: The deposit is refunded only if you cancel no later than one week before your booked time.
  • Age limit: 18+ for all tattoos.
  • Pricing: The site does not list prices. For a price quote for your specific tattoo, you are asked to come into the studio.
  • Email limits: The studio states it does not answer price questions or questions about a picture by email — discussions are best held in person.

Step-by-step: how to book

  1. Check the opening hours before you go. The studio is open Tuesday–Friday, 12:00–17:00. It is closed Monday, Saturday, and Sunday.
  2. Go to the studio in person. Address: Viking Tattoo Studio, Abisko Centrum, 582 31 Linköping.
  3. Discuss your tattoo face to face. Bring your idea and any reference material. This is when you get a price quote for your specific tattoo — the site explicitly says price information is given at the studio, not by email.
  4. Book your time and pay the deposit. A deposit of 500 SEK or 1,000 SEK is taken at booking.
  5. Note your appointment and the cancellation deadline. If you need to cancel, do it at least one week before your booked time to get the deposit back.

Expected result: You leave the studio with a booked appointment, a confirmed deposit amount, and a price quote for your tattoo.

Drop-in option on Fridays

If you don't want to wait for a regular appointment, the studio has drop-in on Fridays. Two limits apply:

  • Only "ready-made" motifs are done on drop-in.
  • Maximum price for drop-in work is 1,500 SEK.

This suits small, pre-designed pieces rather than custom work.

Common snags to plan around

  • Trying to book by phone or email won't work. Booking is in-studio only, and the studio notes it can't answer the phone while tattooing. Email is not used for price or picture questions.
  • Showing up on the wrong day. The studio is closed Monday, Saturday, and Sunday — plan around Tuesday–Friday, 12:00–17:00.
  • Cancelling too late. Cancel less than one week before your time and the deposit is not refunded.
  • Expecting a fast appointment. The waiting time is usually a few months, so book early if you have a date in mind.
  • Being under 18. The 18-year age limit applies to all tattoos, with no exceptions stated.
