Good Luck
€15,00Good Luck tattoos are frequently worn by those who really need them: people you would not always call winners. Dices, eight-balls clover leafs, playing-cards, horse shoes: we use all of these symbols to appeal to lucky forces. And if they don’t help, at least you can say: you can’t win if you don’t play.

€10,00Henk Schiffmacher neemt de lezer mee op reis langs de bijna honderd tatoeages op zijn lichaam. Sinds Schiffmacher zijn eerste tatoeage – een ramschedel – op zijn arm liet zetten, is hij gefascineerd door de geschiedenis en achtergronden van deze volkskunst. Sindsdien vormt zijn lichaam zijn kladblok en vitrine en daarmee is het een verlengde van zijn aanzienlijke collectie tatoeage-gerelateerde objecten en kunstwerken.
