Based on rating, reviews, styles and availability
A perfect 5-star rating sustained across 192 reviews is rare enough to pay attention to, Aftur & Aftur has built genuine trust in Reykjavik's tattoo community. The Vesturbær location signals a studio that isn't chasing walk-in traffic or Instagram footfall, but instead works by appointment with clients who've done their homework. This general studio approach suggests versatility and a focus on the artist-client relationship rather than narrow specialisation. Not ideal if you want to walk in on impulse, but ideal if you value consistency and craft. Best for: anyone serious about getting a thoughtful tattoo in Iceland's capital.
About the studio
Aftur & Aftur operates in Vesturbær, one of Reykjavik's most characterful residential neighbourhoods, where local galleries and independent shops sit alongside family homes and quiet streets. The area draws a mix of creative professionals and long-time residents, giving the studio a grounded, community-oriented feel rather than the glossier tourist-facing energy of central Reykjavik. This is a general tattoo studio, meaning the artists work across a range of styles and subject matter, the kind of place where you're as likely to get a considered custom piece as a bold geometric design, depending on what you're after and who you book with.
Because walk-ins aren't the studio's model, you'll want to reach out in advance to discuss your idea, arrange a consultation, and sort out any deposit or booking terms. Given that Iceland's primary language is Icelandic, you may want to confirm English-language communication when you get in touch, though many studios in Reykjavik work smoothly with international clients. The studio's exceptional 5-star rating across 192 reviews speaks to consistent quality and customer care, numbers like that don't happen by accident, and suggest the artists take time with each client and deliver work that stands up to scrutiny.
If you're visiting Reykjavik or based in the city and want a tattoo that's been thoughtfully executed by someone with genuine skill, Aftur & Aftur deserves serious consideration. The studio's reputation and location make it a reliable anchor in Iceland's capital tattoo scene.
