What Is Viking Tattoo Studio in Linköping?

Viking Tattoo Studio is a tattoo studio in Linköping, Sweden, owned and run by Peter "nypa" Nyberg, described on its site as one of Sweden's most experienced tattoo artists. The studio opened in 1993 and has been operated by Peter alone since 2006. If you are looking for a long-established, single-artist studio in Linköping, this page explains how it works — from booking and pricing to opening hours and drop-in rules.

Who runs the studio

• Owner/artist: Peter "nypa" Nyberg
• Founded: 1993
• Solo operation since: 2006 — Peter works alone in the studio, which the site says lets him focus as much as possible on each individual customer
• Positioning: The site describes the studio as "Linköpings mest erfarna tatuerare" (Linköping's most experienced tattoo artist)

Over the years the studio has gone through different phases, including renovations, more tattoo artists, and piercing services, before settling into its current one-artist format.

Booking: what you need to know

Booking can only be done in the studio — not by phone or email. According to the site:

• Waiting times are usually a few months
• A deposit (handpenning) is required at booking: 500 SEK or 1,000 SEK
• The deposit is only refunded if you cancel no later than one week before your booked time
• 18+ age limit applies to all tattoos

Pricing

The site does not list fixed prices. For a price quote for your specific tattoo, you need to visit the studio in person. Peter states he does not answer price questions or questions about a picture via email — the site says it is always best to discuss tattoos face to face.

Opening hours

Drop-in

Drop-in is available on Fridays only, and only for "finished" (pre-made) motifs up to a maximum of 1,500 SEK.
