Excellent tattoo artist, he puts you at ease throughout the session, technically he is what can be defined as a true artist. I recommend it to everyone ❤️

Andreea did amazing tattoo work. She scheduled us in on her day off as we were coming to Oslo from Canada. She made sure I was very happy with the tattoo through the whole process. The atmosphere was very relaxing. I am very happy with my tattoo and if I am ever in the same place as her in the future I will definitely be getting another tattoo for her. Thank you very much!

Absolutely amazing experience! ❤️ I was a little nervous beforehand, but everything was so professional, gentle and comfortable from start to finish.
This tattoo has a very special meaning to me and is a little piece of Greece that I’ll always carry with me. 🇬🇷❤️
I’m absolutely in love with the result. Thank you Tanou for creating something so beautiful, personal and meaningful. ✨

Great experience with Tanou! He took the time to create a design exactly to my liking. The handpoke tattooing process itself was quick and relatively painless. Great experience overall!

After two weeks of kayaking Norway and Sweden I was looking to get a tattoo holding my dearest memories. I spontaneously stopped at Viaticum and thankfully Andreea had an opening, so I was able to get a beautiful tattoo by a really talented artist. She took her time, creating a beautiful design, including all my wishes. 10/10

Got my first tattoo today with Andreea and what an experience it was! She really took her time creating the design with me, explaining the process, and working on the tattoo. It covered most of my shoulder but she really took her time with it and did the best work possible. Highly recommend Viaticum and Andreea for anyone looking to get a tattoo done. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience, an awesome tattoo, and an amazing memory!

I enjoyed every moment of getting my handpoke tattoo with Vasilis. Choosing a tattoo is such a personal and important decision, and he guided me through the entire process with patience, care, and professionalism. He generously shared his experience and helped me feel confident in my choice without ever rushing me.

The tattoo experience itself was amazing. Vasilis has a great eye for detail and truly takes pride in his work. You can really feel that he has experience and knowledge. He also took the time to explain how to care for the tattoo afterwards. The studio was very clean and tidy, which made the whole experience even more comfortable and relaxing.

This was a wonderful experience from start to finish, and I will definitely come back.

Anko is hands down one of the best tattoo artists in the industry. I first got my full left sleeve done by him over 6 years ago, and recently came back to get my right arm done as well. His work, attention to detail, and professionalism are on another level.
If you’re specifically looking for a top-tier portrait tattoo artist, this is definitely the place to go. The quality and realism he delivers are incredible. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommended!

Andrea is a talented tattooist who cares about her craft and is future-oriented for her clients. She spent time for me as a walk-in for her flash design. I chose weird spots and then we agreed on the best spot for the flash design. She’s great! Definitely recommend her work for micro realism. Thanks Andrea for a good end of my Oslo trip. 🙂

I am very satisfied with my experience at this tattoo studio and without hesitation give it 5 out of 5 stars. The tattoo itself turned out exactly as I had hoped, with high quality and great attention to detail. The work was carried out in an efficient yet highly professional manner, which made me feel very confident throughout the entire process.

The studio appeared very clean, well organized, and welcoming, and it was clear that hygiene and quality are taken seriously. The staff were extremely accommodating, friendly, and skilled, and they took the time to guide me properly. I received thoughtful and helpful advice regarding both the size and placement of the tattoo, which contributed to the best possible final result.

I would also like to highlight that my artist was Veronica. She was very kind and fun, as well as an amazing artist who clearly takes her work seriously. Her professionalism and talent made the experience even better.

Overall, a very positive experience. I can highly recommend this studio to anyone considering getting a tattoo.

I got my surface tragus piercing done, and I’m in love with the result. Everything was explained clearly, super hygienic, and I felt completely safe the entire time.

Anko did my piercing and was honestly the best – calm, skilled, respectful, and very reassuring. You can tell they really know what they’re doing.

I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my piercings than Viaticum. Highly, highly recommend – and definitely book with Anko!

Have been tattooed by both Andrea and Freya. Freya is doing a sleeve. Not finished yet but we are half way done. It is amazing!!!!
I found this idea 29 years ago and finally it is ongoing- and for Freya doing it, it was worth the wait. The staff at Viaticum are fantastic, friendly and giving personal service in top class.

My husband and I went to Viagicum Gallery for handpoke tattoos while on our first trip to Norway. Vasilis was professional, organized, and a lot of fun to talk to. The shop was clean and the environment was chill. We will definitely recommend it to anyone who asks! Thank you for an awesome last day in Norway and a wonderful permanent souvenir.

My partner and I got our very first tattoos with Vera at Viaticum gallery like a week ago, and honestly, we’re so happy. We were nervous, but Vera was incredibly patient and kind, and she made us feel totally safe the whole time. The shop felt welcoming and relaxed, and our tattoos turned out beautiful—better than we imagined.

It was a special moment for us, and Vera really made it memorable. Highly recommend!

What a great design we developed with Vasilis. Thank you mate, I appreciated so much your kindness and all the experience together. First handpoke for me and it is perfect. If you search a great place to do a viking style tattoo on Oslo, come and discuss with Vasilis is a no brainer. Don't hesitate to push the door of Viaticum Gallery anyway, the team is handling any tattoo style. 😉

Absolutely phenomenal handpoke tattoo artist — hands down the best in Norway. Vasilis brings a rare combination of precision, creativity, and care to every session. His attention to detail is unmatched, and he goes above and beyond to ensure you're not only comfortable but truly enjoy the entire experience. If you're looking for quality work and an artist who genuinely values your vision, Vasilis is the one.

I have been tattooed for about 19 years. by several artists. Anko was artist no. 10 actually. And without a doubt the best I have had the honor of using.
Viaticum delivers top score on everything!

Got home a couple of hours ago but already started an email for booking more ink👏

What a place and atmosphere!

Did powderbrows with Andrea and I’m so happy I did! She was very good at explaining the progress in the beginning and listen to what I was thinking. Was a bit afraid that it was gonna look to big or dark but I had nothing to be afraid of, super happy with the brows and if I can say it myself - I look amazing! Recommend her with all my heart (and brows) 😎🥰

From the very beginning, she made me feel comfortable and explained every step of the process. Her precision and gentle technique were incredible—I barely felt a thing! The end result is nothing short of miraculous; my brows look flawless, natural, and perfectly shaped. Andrea truly has a gift, and I would recommend her to anyone looking to enhance their brows. She’s amazing!

I recently got a tattoo at Viaticum Gallery, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I've ever had! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is not only professional but also incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home.

My artist, Anastasis Koukoulas also the owner of the shop was absolutely phenomenal. He took the time to listen to my ideas and offered his expertise to help refine the design. The attention to detail and creativity they brought to my tattoo exceeded all my expectations! I felt completely at ease throughout the entire process, and it was evident that Viaticum gallery prioritizes cleanliness and safety.

The shop itself has a great vibe—stylish, clean, and filled with inspiring artwork and also a barber shop. It’s clear that this place is passionate about tattooing as an art form. Plus, they have an impressive portfolio showcasing the talent of all their artists.

After the session, Anastasis Koukoulas also known as Anko provided thorough aftercare instructions, ensuring that my tattoo heals beautifully. I’m already planning my next visit for my next piece!

If you’re looking for a place to get inked, I can’t recommend Viaticum gallery enough! Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!
