LOCATION
I am based in Reykjavik, Iceland in the studio Aftur & Aftur (@afturogaftur). Studio is located in the downtown area, near the harbour. Address is Garðastræti 2, 101 Reykjavík.
AVAILABILITY
Bookings in Reykjavik are always open. I do travel a lot for guest spots so you might want to check here to see when I’m not available on the spot.
PRICES & TIME
Day session cost 140 000 isk (around 950€). Smaller tattoos are priced individually depending on time needed to complete them, starting price is 20 000 isk. Large scale pieces that require multiple sessions are priced individually. Usual length of a day session is 11am-6pm but if we’re working on a large piece then you might need to prepare for spending much more time in the studio.
GUEST SPOTS
I travel to guest spots a few times per year and visit different cities in Europe. You can find an updated list of upcoming guest spots here. Prices on guest spots are adjusted to the local market and depend on a city I’m visiting.
TRAVELING TO GET A TATTOO
Living on a remote island means that the majority of my customers need to travel to get a piece done by me. I am full of admiration for each person who decides to put all the effort to make this happen. If you consider traveling to Reykjavik to get a tattoo then feel free to contact me in advance and ask any question you need. I do understand how much effort it takes to plan this kind of trip and I’m here to support you.
You have a priority booking when it comes to available dates and weekends are also possible. Before sending a booking form, check the most convinient flight dates.
If you are planning to get a bigger piece and would like to get familiar and ask some questions, we can schedule an online consultation (after initial consultation via email) to talk about the design a bit more.
CONSULTATION
Take your time filling out the booking form. All the fields that are marked as required are necessary for me to understand the theme and area I’ll be working with. Good photo of chosen body part will serve as a base for design drawing. If you feel like you need a talk, we can schedule an online consultation after initial email consultation. Online consultation is paid but once you book a session, this amount go towards the price of your tattoo. We can also meet at the studio to discuss the design and you'll find more on it in the next paragraph.
