Getting a tattoo in Amsterdam
Amsterdam has plenty of tattoo shops, from large walk-in studios to small private studios. Tattooshop Schoffie belongs to the latter: a studio in Amsterdam East where Wes Thomas is the only artist, working by appointment only.
That has advantages. You discuss your idea with the person who will tattoo you, the design is drawn for you and there is no rush from a full waiting room.
Where to find the studio
Schoffie is located at Czaar Peterstraat 203 (1018 PL) in the Czaar Peter neighbourhood of Amsterdam East, within walking distance of the city centre and the Eastern Islands. Tram 7 stops on Czaar Peterstraat.
What sets Schoffie apart
- Specialist: Japanese and traditional tattoos, not an all-round studio.
- Original designs: no copies, every piece is unique.
- Personal: one point of contact from enquiry to aftercare.
- Hygiene: working according to the RIVM hygiene guidelines, with sterile single-use materials.
