Amsterdam Tattoo Museum

If there's anyone more famous in the universe of tattooing than Kat von D, it's Henk Schiffmacher, the Amsterdam tattoo artist who inked the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, Herman Brood, Anouk, Robbie Williams and Kurt Cobain.

In the beginning of November Schiffmacher opened his own Amsterdam Tattoo Museum. Tribal tradition, sailor's souvenir, individualist's expression, rock 'n' roll accessory, fashion item: the tattoo is all that and more. But, most importantly, it's an art form. And where better to honour this with its own museum than in Amsterdam?

So go and take a look.
