Let me say it. It\u2019s rather a city of \u201cCool-tour!\u201d Examples? They get charming restaurants and house them in boats, they live in <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nomadicnotes.com\/travel-blog\/leaning-buildings-of-amsterdam\/\" target=\"_blank\">leaning houses<\/a><\/strong> (usually with lack of curtains on front windows), they are used to almost-naked girls in windows looking at them and they close inside a coffee shop a custom that is quite illegal in the rest of the world. Amsterdam is safe, it\u2019s green, it\u2019s<strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livrariadeartes.com\/amsterdam-famous-tourist-attractions\" target=\"_blank\">full of attractions<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The city claims to have the greatest number of museums per square kilometer in the world. The choice is wide, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.iamsterdam.com\/en\/visiting\/placestogo\/museums\" target=\"_blank\">more than 50 museums<\/a><\/strong> attract millions of visitors every year to please the most diverse interests. There is a Van Gogh Museum, a Rijksmuseum and a Stedelijk Museum. There is a Film Museum, a Bijbelsmuseum, a Torture museum. And for those that are looking for something even more unusual and odd, there are two sex museums, a marijuana museum, and least but not last, a brand new Tattoo Museum, ready to be discovered by fans of the genre or people who like to snoop around.<\/p>\n<p>The<strong> Amsterdam Tattoo Museum strives to be a home for the<\/strong> <strong>art, culture and history of tattooing<\/strong>. This extensive permanent collection covers the entire history of skin art and has artifacts from all over the world, including needles, old shop signs, photographs, flesh relics\u00a0(yes,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gadling.com\/2011\/11\/13\/preserved-human-flesh-at-amsterdams-tattoo-museum\/\" target=\"_blank\"> <strong>preserved human flesh<\/strong><\/a> of tattooed people). But also sailor&#8217;s souvenirs, rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll accessories, fashion items: afterall, the tattoo is all that and more.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>ground level uses interactive exhibitions<\/strong> to explore tattooing in ancient Africa, Polynesia and Samoa, and upstairs is devoted to European and Western tattoo culture. The museum also houses a library, publishing house, caf\u00e9, bookstore and a memorial garden.<\/p>\n<p>Theory, and practice. The <strong>upper floor has been turned into a tattoo parlor<\/strong> <strong>where you can get a tattoo from one of the several expert skin artists<\/strong> available from time to time. Some names: Horishige from Japan, Filip Leu from Switzerland and Tin-Tin from Paris.<\/p>\n<p>The man behind such a unique collection is Henk Schiffmacher, aka Hanky Panky, a tattoo artist himself, famous for having \u201cdecorated\u201d the bodies of celebrities such as Robbie Williams, members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam, as well as the late Kurt Cobain. The museum was created by the synergy created between Hanky &amp; crew (Louise Schiffmacher, Almar Seinen, Foske Rozeboom, and others) and the &#8220;Department of Unemployment and Welfare&#8221;, in a project that aims to help those who have had problems with saddiction, giving them a chance to get up and keep on living.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8000 visitors in the two months <\/strong>since opening in early November. The museum, housed in two beautiful buildings of the 19 th century, <strong>is located in the city centre<\/strong>, 5 minutes from Dam Square. Open daily from 10am to 5pm, <strong>the ticket costs 10 euros<\/strong>.
