Groninger Museum Night

Ongoing | 4 East

Tattoos have become an integral part of the street scene. More and more people are decorating their skin with ink, but where does this fascination come from? What do these ink drawings tell us about ourselves? The international exhibition TATTOO shows the development of tattoos into a global art form. 

Through unique objects, eye-catching ink creations, rare photographs and impressive films, TATTOO reveals the history and cultural significance of tattoos, an art form that inspires people of all ages and backgrounds.

Ongoing | 4 East & 6 East
 

Needles, ink and the buzzing sound of tattoo machines. During Museum Night, a number of Groningen tattoo artists will be showing off their skills live. Watch artists such as Emil Klein, Bastian and Charlotte from Het Gouden Anker and Angii from Tattoo Ben at work and see how unique works of art are created on the spot. 

Would you like to get a new tattoo, or even your first one? You can! Make an appointment via the artists Insta or drop by on the day!
