Dutch tattoo artist uses Amsterdam basilica for latest work | Crux

Posted by

For one day only, St. Nicholas Basilica in Amsterdam turned into the workplace of tattoo artist Henk Schiffmacher. The well-known Dutch artist tattooed his recently auctioned image of St. Nicholas on the forearm of the lucky winner.

As part of the Year of St. Nicholas, the basilica auctioned off a design Schiffmacher had made especially for the occasion. The design brought in around $470, while having it personally tattooed netted another $830. All of the proceeds of the auction will be used to benefit victims of sexual violence.
