Hanky Panky Tattoo Artist Magazine Article Preview for Issue #27
Interview by Daniel Sawyer
Daniel Sawyer: So then into the 80s you started to have a lot of contact with American tattooers, who were starting to come over, right? Leo Zelueta, Malone…
Hank Panky: Everybody eventually came over. Also, in the very early days, Bob Roberts came over.

Danny Boy Discusses New Amsterdam Tattoo Museum with Horitaka
By Takahiro “Horitaka” Kitamura
Tattooers love to travel… I recently got to catch-up with Danny Boy as he was running up and down California. His wife was getting tattooed by Horitomo at my shop and they crashed at my house for the night. We chatted a bit over coffee and I was especially eager to ask about the New Amsterdam Tattoo Museum. This project is the brainchild of Henk “Hanky Panky” Schiffmacher, a living legend of tattooing and one of the world’s leading tattoo historians. The opening is scheduled for later this year… (more…)
