Denmark's Most Notable Tattoo Studios

Miss Roxy

Miss Roxy or Helle, as she was known before entering the tattoo scene back in the 1970s, is one of the most experienced tattoo artists in Denmark. Her career started around 40 years ago when Tattoo Svend, one of the most renowned tattoo studios at the time, welcomed her to his team and helped her learn the art of ink. That was only the beginning. After seven years by Svend’s side Helle became ‘Miss Roxy’ and set off to explore the world and further develop her skills in tattooing. She ended up in Hawaii where she opened her own boutique. Luckily for the Danes, after some years she felt homesick and returned to Denmark opening her own tattoo studio in Copenhagen. The award-winning tattoo artist likes drawing realistic images, but she wouldn’t say no to more abstract Dali-style designs, too.

Royal Tattoo

Royal Tattoo opened its doors for the first time in 1983. Henning Jorgensen, the founder of the famous tattoo studio, started his career in the tattoo scene when he was 18 years old. Throughout the years he gained the title of “Tattooist of the Year” three times as well as many other awards. Surrounded by a great team, Jorgensen still has one of the most noteworthy tattoo shops in Denmark and tattoo fans from all over the world travel to Helsingør to get inked by his talented hands.

Art of Ink

The first Art of Ink tattoo studio opened in Odense in 2009 only to be followed a year later by another in Aarhus. The Art of Ink family consists of several talented tattoo artists who specialise in different tattoo styles and always strive to create the best design. Each client’s personal style and needs are always prioritised and play a significant role during the process. Both studios are centrally located, surrounded by hip coffee shops and cool boutiques, so it’s easy to be spotted.

Thank you Tattoo is located in Vesterbro, one of the hippest neighborhoods in Copenhagen and its style fits perfectly to the area’s vibe. Tato Toby, Mikkel Westrup and Johnny Raindog, are the people behind the renowned studio and each one of them has mastered different tattoo styles including new school, traditional and realism. The shop’s friendly atmosphere makes everyone feel comfortable during the often painful process. Maybe that’s the reason why Thank You Tattoo is the favourite of the city’s hippest crowd.
