I recently came back to get a tattoo…read more.. We were greeted immediately upon entering. I told them what I wanted done and they scheduled me an appointment for the same day! I sent them an email of what I wanted for them to prep and a paid a deposit that went towards the tattoo total. I'm so bad with names. I forgot my tattoo artist name but I do remember his face. He showed me the design, we decided on the placement and got to work immediately. Even though I don't like needles and I voiced that, the artist ensured me that everything will be fine. Everything was sterilized and I watched him open up everything and set up everything as well. He was slow but intricate and I really REALLY appreciate that. My tattoo came out amazing! Made my visit to Amsterdam worth while!!

To say I had an absolute amazing experience here at Antiek Tattoo is an understatement. I was…read moretraveling to the Netherlands to visit family and I wanted to get two tattoos in Amsterdam City. I couldn't have picked a better spot. After hours of researching the web on "best tattoo spots in Amsterdam" I came across a few spots, one being Antiek Tattoo. I made an appointment last minute and originally wanted Jessy to tattoo me but apparently she was heavily pregnant and was unable to tattoo during the time I was trying to make the appointment. This worked out since I met a beautiful artist, inside and out, Natalia who just started working at Antiek Tattoo a few months ago. I connected with her right away. She made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I would befriend her any day. Alfred, whom I believe is both an apprentice and artist was communicating with me via email before the appointment. He was super helpful by sharing with me Natalia's Instagram to look through her work before I came in. First impressions: I walked into the shop early to get a feel of the place and was greeted by everyone (3 artists) working there. Alfred and Natalia were super helpful with everything, offering me water, and most importantly made sure I was comfortable beforehand. All three (wish I remembered the other girl artist's name)helped me with placement of the tattoo. Both tattoos took about 4 hours, since we were also taking our time. I told Natalia that I had all day so I didn't want her to feel rushed which worked out well. After the tattoos were done I had asked Alfred whats considered "normal tip" since I am a foreigner. He said that it really doesn't matter, some people give 10 euros, 20, or nothing at all. I was so pleased not only with Natalia's talent and warm welcoming, but most importantly my overall experience, so I tipped her 50 euros on top of the 350 that Alfred charged me for both tattoos. Side note: Alfred was kind enough to give me a free Antiek Tattoo shirt that I was eyeballing at the beginning of the appointment as I was leaving. I truly wish Antiek Tattoo was closer to me. This would be my go-to tattoo spot. HIGHLY recommend this place if your in Amsterdam City. Blessed to have found this place PS. Attached is a pic of my larger tattoo, a script of my grandfathers poetry in calligraphy in Farsi

Not only was Esther unable to complete the initial piercing due to an inability to connect the jewelry, she took it upon herself to pierce the skin a second time in attempt to salvage our business. She rambled in Dutch the entire time, although we made it very clear we speak English. Esther cried on multiple occasions, apologized profusely and proceeded to charge my friend 65 €. We left the establishment and immediately found a piercing shop nearby, who gladly sanitized my friend's ear (covered in blood) and removed the piercing.

I gave her a description of what I wanted, she drew it up, and delivered a flawless tatt. I have a few tattoos, I chose carefully, and I'm happy to say this shop is the real deal. It's owned by a husband and wife team. He's American from San Diego and she's from Amsterdam. They've been tattooing for years here and in the States. I was recommended to this place by a fellow tattoo shop, Hollywood Marc's. Sawyer Fam. can definitely do any old school tatt, and from the art on the walls and portfolios looks like they can a lot of other styles as well. If you're in Amsterdam and serious about getting a good quality tattoo it's worth checking these guys out.
