jubilantfawn Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Hi folks, Travelling to Stockholm for a couple days in December and would love to get a one-shot Japanese tattoo while I'm out there. Can you recommend any shops/artists I could get in touch with for a booking? I got a fun one-shot with an LA twist from Horisuzu at Dark Horse when I was over in the US a couple months ago, so I'm looking for something similar but with a Swedish influence this time.

joakim urma Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Have a look at my friend Iain Mullen who works at Imperial Tattoo. He's been tattooing for something like 17 years, can tackle anything really and is really good at listening to his clients (but without making compromises that will make the tattoo worse) and traditional japanese is what he does best. He did my back piece with Rudy Fritsch and probably about 7-8 other tattoos on me. Highly recommended and say hello from me! @iainmullen on instagram hogg and Pete tattoo freak 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6649-traditional-japanese-one-shot-in-stockholm/#findComment-121193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jubilantfawn Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Thanks, so far I think I'll be getting in touch with Iain Mullen and Max Stalhammar to check their availability. Any other recommendations in case these guys are booked or away?

joakim urma Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 You can also check Joel Madberg, @joel_soos on instagram. He sometimes does some japanese traditional with his own twist to it, I think it's really cool. But mostly he's doing more american style work. He's a nice guy, fun conversations. I know for a fact by the way that Iain is not very busy these days so I'm sure that you will be able to land a spot with him. Good luck!

RoryQ Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Less traditional but I'll mention it since it's the only shop our house has experience with in Stockholm. Calle from King Carlos tattoo does Japanese style tattooing, but it's more in the new school (think Shige, Jess Yen and similar). Really nice guy, nice shop to visit but you'd need to enquire about the possibility of getting a one-shot. I think they have a walk-in day from time to time. There's also another guy called Jonny in the shop who does similar work (very influenced by Calle actually).
