The inspirational tattoo mademoiselle of the contemporary art world

I first came across the work of Angelique Houtkamp at the lovely Nelly Duff store on Columbia Road. On delving a little deeper I discovered that she is not only an artist but that these musings come from her first profession of tattooing - even better. In her own words the "classic old school tattoo imagery mixed with haunting Hollywood romance" is what makes her pieces stand out.

Another inspirational titbit from the world of Angelique - she only got her break into tattooing at the age of 30, has never looked back and now exhibits worldwide.

Hope for us all then!
