Artists may suffer for their art but now audiences can feel the pain too, thanks to a pop-up tattoo studio at the Rembrandt House Museum in Amsterdam where Rembrandt van Rijn lived, painted and taught.
In one of the more extreme attempts to attract a younger audience post-Covid, the newly renovated museum in Amsterdam is launching a “poor man’s Rembrandt project” for a week in June. Celebrated tattoo artists from the studio Schiffmacher and Veldhoen will be “artists in residence”, offering original tattoos costing from €100 to €250, inspired by the 17th century Dutch master’s etchings, self-portraits and signature.
