Update:
The latest news from the ATM crew
On February 28th we opened a pop up store at the van Woustraat 78 in Amsterdam. You can find lots of tattoo (related) books here and we have our crew Hanky Panky, Danny Boy, Tizi and Chris Danley tattooing with us. We will have some great guest artists working with us in the future. We’ll have a new website in the near future with coming guest artists. Meanwhile follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for most recent developments.
The situation of the museum is still very complicated. The woman who was supposed to be our financier is bankrupt and there’s a curator now in the museum and they’re still figuring out who owns what. In the meantime we still cannot enter the museum or take the collection away. Every time they postpone the date the collection is released because of difficulties. However it should last no longer than one month.
Thanks to all the fundraising, individual people, but also big events all over the world, we could afford a lawyer. This is very important as we didn’t want to lose the collection because of legal matters. We expect to get the collection back at least and that is the most important thing. And we could afford to start a new pop up shop in honour of the museum. We have a great book selection and a tattooshop. Our museum office is also in this place. Without the help of this great tattoo family, this could not have been possible. We realize this every day and are very grateful to all contributing! We still need financial support, as we still get bills from the lawyer and if we want to open up a new museum, we’ll have to raise a bunch to rent a new place, renovate, etc etc…
We have no direct contact with the company and the woman who threw us out of the museum. We don’t know how this legally works, but the police won’t let us enter either. It’s called “intrusion’ and the person who rents the building doesn’t want you to come in has the rights to refuse you. The crazy situation now is that nor the owner of the building and the owner of the collection (Henk) are allowed in the building and the person who rents it but doesn’t pay her bills is allowed to stay there. Something about Dutch law….
We know a lot of people are wondering what the hell is going on and why they don’t hear anything anymore. The truth is: at some point we almost lost faith in ever getting the collection back. We were very confused and it was very hard to continue the fight. At that moment we couldn’t inform you, because we didn’t have a clue what was going on and were afraid we could only deliver really bad news. But thanks to all the support and love we received from you guys, we got the spirit back and have good hopes now! A very very big thank you!!!!
And people who donated, please send us your address and email, we will eventually send you something from the Blue Bone Society as soon as we can enter the museum! info@amsterdamtattoomuseum.com.
If you’re in Amsterdam, please come and visit our shop: van Woustraat 78.
Much love and respect from the ATM/Blue Bone Society crew,
Henk, Louise, Annemarie, Chris, Danny Boy, Yushi and Tiziana
helpt het op dit moment nog een klein beetje als ik lid zou worden van jullie Blue Bone Society?
Hoi Hennie, ja dat helpt! Zouden we heel erg blij mee zijn. Bedankt voor je support! Groetjes Tessa
Ik ga het regelen.
laat mij even weten hoe ik patriot kan worden dan ga ik het regelen.
Hoi Hennie, de website is nog niet helemaal af dus het ziet er nog gek uit maar als je dit formulier –> http://www.bluebonesociety.com/?q=node/1 in wil vullen dan ga ik het voor je regelen! Groetjes Tessa
Wat vreselijk! En ik wilde hier zo graag stage lopen!
Hoop dat alles goed komt. Het tattoo museum mag niet weg!
8 december…. wat, wie en waar ???
Hi Niels, we hebben nog geen idee… We hopen natuurlijk in ons eigen museum. Als dat niet lukt gaan we op zoek naar een andere en minstens zo leuke locatie. Hopelijk weten we morgen meer! Groeten Tessa

Hopelijk gaat het door op 8 december, dan ben ik jarig en het leek me het perfecte verjaardagcadeau om een bezoekje te brengen aan jullie museum aangezien er iets te doen is. (Zag geen affiche liggen op de Brussel tattoo convention)
Hi Estée,
Dat hopen wij ook! Zodra we meer weten zetten we het op de website.
Groetjes, Tessa
Cool, also my birthday and I think it’s also a great present.
Looking forward to coming to the mueseum if possible.
Natuurlijk word dit gedeeld door ons:

Over de tattoo sessie in Four in de P.C. Hooftstraat aankomende zaterdag, ik zag dat de minimale leeftijd 18 jaar is. Kan een 17-jarige met toestemming van ouders ook getatoeëerd worden?
Hi Michiel, ja dat mag! Tot zaterdag! Groetjes Tessa
Hi Tessa, dat is mooi! Alleen nog één vraagje, ik heb twee woorden op papier staan die door een bepaald persoon geschreven zijn. Is het mogelijk deze als het ware “over te nemen” zodat mijn tatoeage echt haar handschrift is? Groetjes Michiel
Hi Michiel. Jahoor dat denk ik wel. Het beste is om even langs te komen en het aan de tatoeëerders te vragen! Groetjes Tessa
Betekent deze hele situatie dat er ook niet getatoëerd kan worden? En wat betekent dat voor de guest tattoo artists die gepland staan? Zelf heb ik al een afspraak met Jondix staan bij jullie in februari..
Ik zwengel de paypal vanavond nog aan om jullie te sponsoren!!!
Good luck allen!!!!
Hoi Paul,
Ontzettend bedankt voor je support!
Na dit weekend weten we zeker meer, we houden jullie op de hoogte via het blog!
Groeten, Tessa
Hoi Paul! Dank je wel voor je support! Als het goed is komt Jondix gewoon en kan je door hem getatoeëerd worden. We weten nog niet waar, maar komt goed! Groetjes, Annemarie
Is het museum aanstaande zondag wel geopend??
Hoi Debbie, tot nu toe is het museum nog geopend, maar we weten niet hoe het dit weekend gaat lopen.
Zolang we niet op deze website zetten dat het gesloten is kun je ervan uitgaan dat het museum nog geopend is.
Groeten, Tessa
Hoi, ik kan nergens duidelijk vinden of het nou zaterdag of zondag is dat iedereen getattoeerd kan worden en kan dat ook in de pc? groetjes
Hoi Sam, Het hele weekend wordt er wereldwijd getatoeëerd voor het museum. In de PC hoofdstraat is alleen op zaterdag.
We proberen op deze pagina ene complete lijst te bij te houden. Groetjes Tessa
Are you still having the museum party on December 8?
Yes, we will. Tomorrow we’ll let you know where and what time! Cheers, Annemarie

Long time gone without an update? What’s going on? Is there a new strategy? I’m really curious! Hopefully you manage to survive some other way! And oh yeah, is of will there be another temporary place to get a tattoo from one of the (guest)crew?

Paul

Hallo ik had een vraag, een tijdje geleden zag ik een paar guest artist’s die de maori tattoo style hanteerde. Weet iemand toevallig hoe deze artiesten heten?
Hi!
Misschien bedoel je Gordon Toi?
Zodra hij weer bij ons langskomt als gastartiest zetten we het op de website.
Groeten! Tessa
