EPISODE 106 JANNICKE WIESE-HANSEN

In this episode of Tales From the Riff, I’m joined by world-renowned and award-winning tattoo artist Jannicke Wiese-Hansen. Over the past three years and some change, I’ve had the privilege of being one of Jannicke’s clients—and during that time, we’ve also become great friends.

Jannicke has long been a staple and pioneering figure in the Norwegian black metal scene. Based in Bergen, Norway, she works out of Nidhogg Tattoo and is known for a style deeply rooted in traditional Viking wood carvings. She is also responsible for creating iconic logos and album artwork for some of the most influential Norwegian black metal bands, including Enslaved, Immortal, and Burzum.

This conversation is one I’ve looked forward to for a long time—not just as a host, but as a fan. After three years, I finally got to sit down with Jannicke and hear her story, told in her own words.
