Art Love – Angelique Houtkamp
Angelique Houtkamp is the inspirational Dutch tattoo mademoiselle of the contemporary art world.
Angelique brings her own take on the graphic romance of old school tattoos to a fine art format. Her work has been featured in a multitude of magazines, periodicals and books. Her international art shows are a sell out and her tattoo waiting list can be years…
Deceptively simple and instantly recognisable…here is a selection of her beautiful pieces, off and on the body…

“Piaf”, pictured above hanging in the Nelly Duff gallery, is one of my favourite Angelique pieces. I recommend having a browse in the beautiful gallery, situated on London’s infamous Columbia Road, which features many of her pieces.

I recommend reading ReeRee Rockette‘s interview with the inspirational woman. ReeRee has a beautiful Angelique-inspired tattoo herself…
Too much Angelique inspiration. Click on the picture below to see an album full of Angelique-inspired tattoos on her facebook page.
