Last week the Nuit Blanche was held in Amsterdam, Tattoo parlour Het Ruyterhuis was part of their program. Ben de Boef and Sjoco Sjon teamed up to make the 'Ben de Sjon & Sjoco de Boef' exposition. The night was under musical accompaniment of DJ's Bambo, Rambi, Eddy, Sonno and folk singers Jan en de Bunders. Ben de Boef tattooed a pig's head and by his supervision other people could also give tattooing a try.
More photos, see the album of the exposition. Also read a review of the night by Gutmag.
A month ago the Estonian band Ewert and the Two Dragons came by the parlour to shoot their new video 'Good Man Down'. The video is part of the Bagels for Breakfast project. A videoserie of music artists that shoot their track at a inspirational place.
For a day the parlour was taken over for musical purpose, here is the result.
