REUTERS/Piroschka van de WouwAMSTERDAM, June 19 (Reuters) - Renowned body artist Henk Schiffmacher and his team are offering tattoos of Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn's most iconic works in a pop-up studio installed at the painter's former house and now museum in Amsterdam.
"To own a Rembrandt, you have to have a lot of money, even if you want a small little etching.
People interested had to be quick - the week-long event was sold out in 15 minutes, head of the Rembrandt House Museum Milou Halbesma said, although daily walk-ins are also available.
Rembrandt House employee Lillian Ramcharan was the first to get a tattoo this week.
Schiffmacher is relishing the experience of working in Rembrandt's house and plans to get a tattoo of the master's work himself.
