Forget fridge magnets. Amsterdam's Rembrandt museum is offering visitors a tattoo of the master's work | CNN

The Rembrandt House Museum in Amsterdam is hosting a pop-up tattoo parlor, with tattoo artists inking replicas of Rembrandt’s work on paying visitors. Renowned tattoo artist Henk Schiffmacher is one half of the team Schiffmacher & Veldhoen, who are recreating works by the 17th-century artist. Talking about the project on the museum’s website, Schiffmacher said: “Worldwide, more tattoos are sold than works of art to hang on your wall.

” The team have set up a studio in Museum Rembrandthuis’ modern wing. During the 17th century, the building was a cultural hub where Rembrandt, his assistants and his pupils collaborated. Several designs—which cost between €100 and €250 —have been on offer, including original etchings by Rembrandt, Rembrandt’s signature and his monogram.
