Angelique Houtkamp

I am meant to be getting my tattoo next month but i still haven't decided what its going to be, there is just too much to choose from and it has to be something i absolutely adore otherwise i wont get it, seeing as it is going to be there forever after all. Last week i came across Angelique Houtkamp, and i am completely in love with her artwork. She is also a tattoo artist and she has her very own tattoo parlour in Amsterdam, i wish i could afford to have a tattoo designed by her. She has a book out called 'Tattoo darling: The art of Angelique Houtkamp' which is full of her amazing work so I'm going to buy it next week.

This is one of my favourites.



"Her work is deceptively simple, instantly recognisable and often humorous. Classic old school tattoo imagery mixed with mythological dreams, antropomorphed critters, nautical iconography and haunting Hollywood romance by way of Angelique's distinctive painterly magic and eye for style."

If you want to see more of her work you can at her website here.
