Art historian Burkhard Riemschneider runs an art gallery in Berlin
and has published several monographs on contemporary artists.
Amsterdam-based tattoo artist and historian Henk Schiffmacher is a
living legend in the tattoo world. Traveling the world since the
1970s, Schiffmacher has amassed one of the largest collections of
contemporary and historical tattoo ephemera in the world, known as
the Schiffmacher Tattoo Heritage. He has tattooed many rock and pop
stars, and his tattoo shop attracts countless tattoo pilgrims. A
director and writer, he has published over twenty books, including
TASCHEN’s 1000 Tattoos, and designed for many brands. In 2017, he
was decorated by the king and queen of the Netherlands as an
Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau, a Dutch order of chivalry
and the highest recognition given to a civilian.
A fascinating book for hardcore ink collectors and art appreciators
alike.
