Tattoos in Amsterdam

Post by bubblebelly »

I'm looking for a tattoo artist in A'dam that can do a high quality piece, though a small one. Does anyone know of a very talented artist there? I would like it to be at least on par with the other work I have, pictures below. I'm especially interested in talking to people who have had work done by the artist they are recommending. Thanks everyone!!!

They are farther along than this now, but I am far too lazy to take new pictures right now, and you get an idea of the quality...[/img]

In Amsterdam Imo
admiraal.com
classicinkandmods.com
amsterdam-tattooing.com

But there are more good artists here in Holland.

robdeut.com. IJmuiden
tattoomania.nl. Apeldoorn
dragontattoo.nl. Eindhoven
inkstitution.com. Rotterdam
kynst.com. Deventer
bunkertatoo.nl. Breda
bonkerktattoo.nl. Zaandam
venividivicitattoo.nl. Beverwijk

My Favourite:

luxaltera.com in Rotterdam
I have a backpiece in progress by Markus Lenhard and imo he's the best.

Al these shops have a waitlist from a couple of months till about one year.
If you're planning to get inked,the best thing to do is contact them first and see what they can do for you.

Good luck!

All these shops are recommended by the Dutch Health Department(ggd)

i got one done at derma donna at 34 Kloveniersburgwal in july.

its not the greatest tattoo, its very simple (black and shade), but absolutly love it. becuase i got it done in asmterdam, on the same road as basjoes and HSB etc.

Hahahaha but he has a unique one :D
The most important thing is that he's happy with it and that fine.

Classic Ink and Mods is very good. They don't target the tourist market and they have many excellent tattoo artists who stop there for months at a time or sometimes only a week at a time.
