Hi!
My name is Vivian and I'm a tattoo artist.
I'm based in Stavanger, Norway, working at Tanken og Minnet Tattoo og Piercing, a shop I've had the honor to work at, since I helped open it 2 years ago!
Here you can see some of my works, the services I provide for my clients, tattoo healing tips and all my socials.
Welcome!
My Story
So I'm 22, and been tattooing for 4 years. This wasn't planned, I got a tattoo kit as a gift on my 18th b-day and started tattooing myself and some friends. Now this isn't advised, it's 100% better to get a proper apprenticeship (just to put that out there) this is just how I did it. After 2 years tattooing by myself and learning by doing, I got the opportunity to start at a new studio with Hugo! This was a turning point for me as I didn't have to go looking for an apprenticeship with my anxiety, and it just came to me. Lucky! Now I work full time at the shop, and loving every minute of it!
I've been drawing since I was small, and many times struggle(d) with coming up with things to draw.
Tattooing has fixed that for me, as now I have clients telling me what to draw! Perfect.
I do have some social anxiety, but I love the one-on-one time with my clients. Getting to know them and creating a connection during the tattoo process. It does take communication and dedication from both parts to get the perfect result.
Tattoos are great. They make people feel more at home in their own bodies. Keeping memories with us for the rest of our lives. I love how permanent they are, as not much in this world is.
I am working on developing a personal style. I really enjoy realism, dark realism and blackwork, but it does take time coming up with something new.
It took me a whole year to even start making this website, and now I'm very excited to get it out there!
Thanks for reading, and I hope to hear from you soon with some tattoo ideas and things for me to draw!
Cheers!
