2 tattoos of drawings by Joost Swarte (one of my all-time personal heroes).

These drawings were made as illustrations for the book "Titaantjes".

Joost Swarte was a master of "de klare lijn" originated by Hergé, the illustrator of Tintin.

So happy (and challenging) to do!

A typical Amsterdam scene (just add more rain) according to in Whisper of the Heart.
On a nice returning customer (yes we have those, who knew?!) from Boston.

Was extremely fun to do (and daunting, as always with copies of original art, I always feel as a forger).

Kom lekker langs om een zakje zaadjes op te halen.

De bedoeling is om die zaadjes op 22 april te zaaien met de Nationale Zaaidag.

Het is allemaal voor de bijtjes!

That's how we've always been working.

Together with the client we create something truly unique.

Sometimes you have a all-time favorite song.

Awesome idea!

Clients keep surprising us with their inventivity.

Making something truly unique is really difficult since the avent of social media.

Back in the day,
, we only had a rare book or , later, in the early nineties, a magazine with pictures of tattoos people had.

Now, a freshly made tattoo is posted and the next day, 10 persons over the world might have the same tattoo.

A truly unique design is a rarity, but thanks to the clever minds of our clients we never cease to be amazed!

After 16 years tattooing in an other studio in Amsterdam, Claudia has come back to House of Tattoos!

Here's a portrait of Deborah Harry of Blondie, she tattooed on one of her biggest fans.

Claudia can do any style of tattoo, she is completely all-round, from realistic to abstract.

Hi all!
I am making mock-ups for the window sticker announcing that I have been tattooing for 40 years.

I need your opinion: should it be in English or Nederlands, should it have an exclamation mark, should All Letters Be Capitalized?

Do you like the font? (I was planning on a more script style font, but i am also a big fan of the typewriter font).

Please do tell me what you think.

(Mental note: never ever ask the internet for an opinion said Boaty McBoatface )

Continued this backpiece, colored the tiger in the middle.

This backpiece was started years ago, surely more than 10 years ago.

Sometimes life happens and you can't regurlay get tattooed.

Not a problem, it will eventually get completed, even if there's aeons in between sessions.

I just dig this project!
