Walk-In Tattoos in Amsterdam | Same-Day & Flash Ink at Antiek Tattoo

Looking for a spontaneous, high-quality walk-in tattoo in Amsterdam? Located at Rozengracht 184 (just minutes from Central Station), Antiek Tattoo welcomes walk-ins daily on a first-come, first-served basis. Choose from our extensive artist flash sheets or bring your own custom idea for immediate same-day ink.

Flash-Entwürfe

Wir arbeiten in der Regel nach dem Prinzip "Wer zuerst kommt, mahlt zuerst". Sie können aus Flash-Designs (vorgefertigte Entwürfe, die für das Tätowieren zur Verfügung stehen) wählen oder Ihre eigenen Ideen für eine persönliche Note einbringen. Aus Zeitgründen eignen sich begehbare Entwürfe jedoch eher für einfache Tätowierungen als für komplizierte oder große Entwürfe, die viel Planung erfordern. Wenn wir Ihnen nicht sofort helfen können, haben wir einen sehr komfortablen Wartebereich mit allen Portfolios der Künstler.

T-Shirts und mehr

Während der Wartezeit können Sie sich in unserem shop. Suchen Sie ein Geschenk oder ein Souvenir? Wir verkaufen Gemälde, Drucke, Kimonos, einzigartige T-Shirts, die von unseren resident artists und mehr. Diese Unikate werden von uns selbst in unserem eigenen shop gedruckt und in Amsterdam handgefertigt!
