Angelique Houtkamp is not just a gorgeous Dutch belle from Amsterdam that brings the magic of old Hollywood art deco art and fuses it with day of the dead Mexican flair and finishes it off with a sweet graphic taste of rockabilly, she’s one of the few tattoo artists that break out of the pigeon-holed shell of just being an inker.
Sultry pin-ups, broken hearts, swallows, sailing ships, black panthers, mermaids, spunky cowgirls, horseshoes, cacti and a good-hearted sense of nostalgia are all featured in the world of Angelique. Angelique has managed to fine creative outlets for her designs across the board. From mediums as small as postcards to larger outlets such as shoes and handbags and everything in between.
Angelique’s work is also used on cd covers, postcards, buttons and clothing, as well as being featuring in magazines like Juxtapoz. Her book, “Tattoo Darling” sold out in record time! The book is a true celebration of Houtkamp’s vision, charms, and talents as a tattoo artist, painter, collector, and personality! Wonderful new art, inspiration galore, and swoon-worthy photos of Houtkamp at work. Includes essays and commentary by Liz McGrath, Sunny Buick, Cindy Hoetner, Gemma Jones and more. Angelique is certainly taking the contemporary art world by storm.
