Several tattoo parlors noticed fewer customers at the beginning of the pandemic, but that it then returned to normal levels.

They say that they thought it would hit much worse than it did against the businesses.

Two of the companies that SVT spoke to have experienced that the pandemic hit their operations very hard.

Especially during the second wave, with few customers and many cancellations.

More cancellations than before

But most say that they did well despite the pandemic.

However, they have noticed more cancellations compared to previous years, this as several studios encourage not to be tattooed with symptoms.

Hear how the Södertälje tattoo artist Per Karlsson was affected by the corona pandemic in the clip above.
