Throughout the years, tattoo legend Henk Schiffmacher has embarked on a journey, looking for the origins of the old-age ritual of tattooing. This brought him to fascinating places and people, from all over the world.After more than four decades this life work, unique heritage, will be valorized, administrated, preserved and made visible and accessible to the public. It will be served towards education, museums, investigation and those who are interested. Why? For the purpose of sharing knowledge worldwide about meaning, rituals and stories before it gets lost. Creating awareness about identity, transience and respect.The Schiffmacher Tattoo Heritage contains Henk's collection, the corresponding archive and knowledgebase. The foundation's purpose is to secure, conserve, valorize, borrow and watch over the collection, knowledge, library and craftmanship of Henk Schiffmacher in general for the present and future generations.
