Jenever, hip hop & tattoos

I would like to thank first and foremost Malvin Wix and the complete Ludwig team, the bar suited perfect as an intimite place to celebrate the anniversary. DJ Troubled Rebel (Hotmamahot) and Sonno (Jungle by Night) started the evening with some vinyl hip hop. Followed by Willy Party and Dijkie and their catchy hits. After a few bottles of champagne we handed over the mic to MC Dlipps, his energy made the crowd warm for the next performances. Starting with Dret & Krulle who performed new tracks, the boys supported the next act. Zwart Licht made the people jump, after a few minutes so many glasses were broken, the bar had to switch to plastic cups. This energetic line up had to be followed up by a DJ who can make the girls go dance; Fanny West.
I decided the night should end big, so I asked Bobby 6 Killers & Karimooo 
(50 Hurtz/Vage Gasten) to finish with some dubstep. Thanks everybody that took the time to dress up, drink and dance.
Special love to Bobbie and Marlis for their organising skills.

Ben de Boef's 1 Year Anniversary Tattoo parlour Het Ruyterhuis

One year ago Ben de Boef decided to pursue his boysdream. Looking for the perfect place, he found the monumental Ruyterhuis. Formally owned by famous Admiral Michiel de Ruyter (1650), it was used as a saloon for his sailsman.
With this rich history, the building was exactly what Ben was looking for. He opened up his tattoo parlour, specialized in old skool sailor tattooing.

Accompanied by his Californian collegue Eric Blair, Het Ruyterhuis has been up and running for a year. The parlour has already seen two expositions, worked perfect as a filmlocation for tv programs 'The Face' (RTL) and 'Alles is Liefde' (SBS) and suited as decor for many other projects.
Meanwhile Ben de Boef has not only been tattooing. After associating with big enterprises such as Tommy Hilfiger, Q Dance and the Amsterdam Fashion Week he can proudly say he worked hard this year.
All of this said, now it's the time to celebrate a year of blood, sweat and tears.
Hereby we present the first official anniversary.
