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

If you like Japanese-influenced tattoos, this is the place for you…read more I have to say my experience here was one of the best when it comes to body ink. Richard, the owner, was professional, timely, organized and made me feel at ease from the moment I met him. We initially corresponded via email. He was very timely about replying and was very accommodating. I scheduled in advance for my appointment. He does have a wait for about a month, so plan ahead. I came in here this past week and we chatted for about 15 minutes. I basically told him what I wanted, and afterwards, let him have free rein to design the artwork. I really like when artists take my ideas and meld their style into it. It creates a fantastic piece of artwork. When I came for my session, I met Richard at the door and he was all ready to go! He got to work immediately and was very focused on the artwork. He also made me very comfortable and his employees were also very nice and chatty. I learnt that tattoos aren't as taboo as I thought, and that more than a 100 years ago, kings and the elite also had tattoos. Very cool history lesson. I was also told about Gabber dancers. Four and a half hours later, I come out alive. I won't lie, it was painful, but so well worth it. I always tell myself this is the last time and then I find another great artist! I highly suggest this place if you're looking for a Japanese style tattoo. Richard was really good, and I'll definitely be back to have him work on more pieces. BTW, this place is also right in the middle of Chinatown. So after getting inked, you can find a nice, good and cheap place to refuel and heal!

I will definitely go back for my second tattoo. This place is the best…read more Okay my story: I designed my own tattoo, it isn't a really big tattoo, but it's a hard one to set up good. So I wanted the best shop in Amsterdam. And Amsterdam has a lot of shabby places in dark and not so dark alleys. So it took me some time to make a decision about which tattoo place I wanted to go. This place is need, they take care of you and themselves. Everything like needles, gloves, ink is taken out of the packaging right in front of your nose. Same as cleaning the stair etc etc. okay safety and healthy restrictions was one of my major choice to go here. Besides that online you can read about the different artists and what they can do best. These people are truly artist and they somethings refuse to do a tattoo if its not quit thought trough. That's what they stand for and I love it. Call me crazy, but it took me like 2 years to find a good shop and get one. It's for a life time and it's not something temporary. And they just understand that vision so well. Besides that, my tattoo was a hard one, and Sjap did it perfect! He nailed it! I am still so happy with it. If you are looking for a really good tattoo shop, who are truly understand the art go here! If you just want a tattoo just because it's fun or whatever don't bother.
