Life

Schiffmacher comes from a Catholic family of butchers who "resided in Amsterdam since 1814". At an early age he already had a passion for drawing and collecting and wanted to become a painter. First he attended the advertising school at Rex Frederiks in Amsterdam. In the mid-1970s, Schiffmacher worked in the advertising department at De Bijenkorf , a shop window designer. He often visits Tattoo-Peter in St. Olof Lane, where his fascination for tattooing originated.

During several international trips, Schiffmacher has collected various objects related to the history of tattoos. He tattooed many well-known personalities, including a. the members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers , the members of Pearl Jam , Kurt Cobain , Lemmy Kilmister , Barry Hay , Willy DeVille , Robbie Williams , Adam Levine , Ben Saunders , Lady Gaga , Ramones and the Stray Cats .

Schiffmacher is also known as a writer and painter. In 2000 he was a participant in the television show Big Brother VIPS and in 2007 he was involved in a reality show on the Amsterdam City Channel . He also had a small role in the 1986 film Flodder .

Since June 2010 he and his wife Louise are ambassadors of the Foundation B! NK , a foundation for disadvantaged children in the non-western world. Schiffmacher has launched a line of jewelry called "LOOT".

In December 2019, Henk and Louise started their new clothing line. The garments are inspired by the history of tattooing and contain self-made designs.

Amsterdam Tattoo Museum

On November 5, 2011, Schiffmacher opened the Amsterdam Tattoo Museum, the largest museum in the tattoo world. The basis is the presumably unique collection that Schiffmacher has put together over more than thirty years. The collection consists of hundreds of tattoo machines and hand tools, photographs, paintings, drawings, sculptures and even pieces of tattooed human skin. The museum was closed in November 2012 after the landlord filed for bankruptcy. We are currently looking for new premises for the collection.
