7 Norwegian Tattoo Artists To Follow On Instagram

The tattoo scene in Norway is vibrant and multicultural, with so many artists from other countries finding their way into Norwegian tattoo parlors. But that doesn’t mean there is a lack of local talent – quite the opposite, in fact. Below you’ll find a selection of the country’s most talented inkers to add to your Instagram feed for when you need some #inkspiration.

Electric Linda

One of Norway’s more prominent tattoo artists, Electric Linda has been tattooing since 2000. At the helm of Attitude Tattoo Studio since 2008, she has tattooed local and international celebrities and won over 50 international tattoo awards. On her Instagram feed, you’ll find unique rockabilly creations, as well as tattoos inspired by comic books.

Kim Dahlstedt

After a short break from 2015 to 2017 to pursue other opportunities, he has now returned to Attitude. On his Instagram feed, you’ll find creations that are fun and cheeky, but also depict a love for geometry and structure under the colorful chaos.
