AMSTERDAM - Renowned body artist Henk Schiffmacher and his team are offering tattoos of Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn’s most iconic works in a pop-up studio installed at the painter’s former house and now museum in Amsterdam.
The event has been dubbed A Poor Man’s Rembrandt, referring to the low cost of a tattoo – depending on the size between €100 and €250 – compared to a Rembrandt painting, though no less carefully produced. “To own a Rembrandt, you have to have a lot of money, even if you want a small little etching. But we give you an affordable Rembrandt that lasts you to the end of your days,” Mr Schiffmacher said.People interested had to be quick – the week-long event was sold out in 15 minutes, head of the Rembrandt House Museum Milou Halbesma said, although daily walk-ins are also available.
Rembrandt House employee Lillian Ramcharan was the first to get a tattoo this week. She chose an image of Hansken, a female Asian elephant that toured around in 17th-century Europe.A tattoo artist inks a design on a customer during a session at The Rembrandt House Museum in Amsterdam on June 19, 2023.
