Looking for a tattoo shop in Tampere

Post by ash. » Mon Jun 27, 2011 2:12 am

I'm going to be moving to Tampere in august with my girlfriend who has been accepted to the university there. I am a tattoo artist currently working in the united states and was wondering if anyone had any information regarding tattooing in Finland. I can't seem to find any information about it.

thanks.

Thanks Upphew.

I was looking more for Regulations regarding the practicing of tattooing, any health and safety or licensing that needs to occur before working as a tattoo artist in finland.

edit: the relevant city authorities: http://www.tampere.fi/terveyspalvelut/y ... ojelu.html but I have a hunch it would be easier for you to start working at existing tattoo shop than starting your own.

I know you are looking for Tampere but in IIsalmi there is an american guy who just started his own tattoo place, he has been working around Finland for a while. I dont know if hes any good or not but it will probably be easy for you to talk to him as he sounds like he has done what your thinking of doing.

Just to point out that Iisalmi != Tampere. Smaller towns can have a much less red tape and things get done when you know someone who knows someone... but as lionel said: he's done it, I just googled and pasted some links.
