Door het oog van de naald

Henk Schiffmacher was een tattoo museum aan het bouwen in Amsterdam, het Taticaan. 

In 2010 the right-leaning Dutch government decided to stop funding cultural institutions including museums. Despite this, tattoo legend Henk “Hanky Panky” Schiffmacher decides to open a twenty thousand square foot tattoo museum in the centre of Amsterdam, to celebrate the history and culture of tattooing across the globe.

Will he manage to get the funding? And will he be able to empty his house, packed with forty years’ worth of tattoo artefacts from around the world?

Ink and other things A documentary about a man and his dream….
