Something about Scandinavian tattoos and Helsinki Ink

If you want to bring something new into your life, Scandinavian tattoo artists can recommend very interesting ideas of decoration yourselves. There is a great range of themes – from flowers and animals to Vikings!

A lot of tattoo masters from Scandinavia impress their artworks from the beginning of the XIX century. They consider tattoos as the way of life, specific vision of the world. In other words, they try to colour all around…

You can see different art concepts in their creations – old school, realism and so on – not ony the traditional Nordic motifs. All of them always search for the best original tattoo design.Where to find famous Scandinavian tattoo artists? Of course, on different tattoo conventions. It is your chance to know a lot about the world of Scandinavian tattoos.

For example, you can visit Helsink Ink.

This is a very colourful and friendly tattoo convention – an annual meeting place for tattoo artists (famous professionals & beginners) from Scandinavia and other countries all over the world. It is held at the Cable Factory – the largest Finnish cultural centre (Tallberginkatu 1 00180 Helsinki).

Helsinki Ink program usually includes such events as presenting the last artworks of different tattoo artists, awarding prizes for the best tattoos, different tattoo art contests and so on. If you want to get a high-quality tattoo, you should catch this chance. And if you are a tattoo-artist, you really must go there to get new fans of your artworks!

Also there you can watch performances of rock and metal bands, take part in after-party and to taste the Nordic snacks with a glass of beer!

So let’s be looking forward for the next Helsinki Ink in 2019!
