Realism · Fine line · Zen
Tattoos with soul. Art that reflects who you are inside. Zen Tattoo is a studio in Ålesund built on a simple idea: every tattoo deserves time, calm and our full attention.
Always a free consultation and design meeting before the needle goes in.
Every piece is a collaboration between artist and client. Here's a selection of our latest work.
Deep shadows and soft transitions. The moments that matter most, preserved in skin.
Thin, precise lines that follow the body's natural curves. Flowers, leaves, branches.
Dotted textures in symmetrical patterns that flow with the body. Calm in every single dot.
Light and dark in balance. Two wolves, the moon and constellations. Designs with meaning.
Solid black areas and sharp outlines. Deep, graphic and timeless.
Colour realism with a light touch. Botanicals that bloom on skin.
Pick an area of the body or a style, and we'll show the work that matches. Feel free to combine both.
Every artist brings their own style and vision. Together we cover everything from photorealism to minimalist zen.
Owner
Runs Zen Tattoo and welcomes you at the door. More than ten years in the industry. Holds a free consultation and design meeting before every tattoo, so you know what you're getting before the needle starts. A cover-up specialist who does all the piercings personally. Doesn't tattoo, but matches you with the right artist for your idea.
The team moves between Zen and Frøya Ink. You'll find each name, signature style and speciality below. Booking goes through the same system whichever studio you choose.
Guest artist
A background in realism and ornamental work, but people come for the lettering. Won 1st place in lettering at Margarita Ink Fest 2023. 13 years in the industry, often booked well in advance.
Guest artist
Known as Santos. Comes from the walk-in scene and spent ten years doing whatever came through the door. The last six years have been black and grey realism: lions, portraits, religious iconography and big sleeves.
Guest artist
Marius, known as Kazarius. Based in Leeds. The signature style is black and grey realism with red accents: horror, Vikings, pop culture. Happy to take on cover-ups others have turned down.
Guest artist
Eight years behind the needle, four of them in walk-in shops. Strongest in black and grey realism: pharaohs, Vikings, lighthouses, big compositions. Also neo-traditional and blackwork. Can take on almost anything.
Every design starts with a conversation. We adapt the style to your idea, not the other way round.

We've furnished the studio with calm in mind. Quiet music, natural light, plenty of space. You should feel safe and comfortable from the moment you walk in until you leave with the finished result.
All equipment is single-use or autoclaved. We follow all the Norwegian Institute of Public Health's guidelines on hygiene and infection control.
Whether you have a finished idea or just the seed of one, we're ready for a chat. No obligation. Just an honest conversation about what's possible.
