I had 2 tattoo artists in my family and was exposed to tattooing at a very young age. Tattoos have always been one of my biggest passions, and I have known since I was 5 years old that I wanted to be a tattoo artist.

I completed my tattoo apprenticeship in 2006 and spent the next several years traveling the world and getting to work with some amazing artists.

When I decided to open my own studio I put all of my time, energy and love to create the best studio I could imagine. Top levels of artistry, professionalism and friendliness have always been my highest priority. I feel grateful everyday for the amazing environment that Valkyrie has become. I feel humbled and honored when a client chooses me to create a piece of art for them, and to be working with a team of incredible artists and surrounded by Icelandic nature, makes it easy to feel inspired everyday.
