Angelique Houtkamp is an Amsterdam-based tattoo artist who is keeping the spirit of Norman Collins alive, while providing her own unique spin on the traditional Sailor Jerry-inspired tattoos. Like Norman, Angelique had no professional artistic training. Her first encounter with tattooing was a creative catalyst to explore art and
illustration. She worked for a number of years at Tattoo Peter, one of the oldest tattoo parlours in Europe, based in Amsterdam’s red light district. There she cultivated her skills on the skins of the many sailors and servicemen stationed in the area.
