Plate - Easter Island (Schiffmacher Royal Blue Tattoo)

Easter Island: For decades, researchers have been wondering what happened on this tiny dot in the Pacific. How did they build those gigantic images? Why did the island go down?
Where was that mysterious Southland somewhere in the Pacific that great explorers were looking for?

The Portuguese Pedro Fernandes de Queirós described it as a paradise on earth, with peaceful inhabitants. There was fresh water, fertile soil, and - not unimportant - mountains of silver, gold, and pearls.
An inspiration for writers, explorers and tattoo artists!

Cooperation Henk Schiffmacher and Royal Delft
Delft Blue pottery and tattoos may not be the most obvious combination, but they have more in common than thought. Parallels can be found in origin, meaning, craft and mastery.

The Schiffmacher Royal Blue Tattoo collection is a unique collaboration between two traditional crafts from an ancient world. Sea brought here from the east. Rich in culture, tradition and symbolism. Art forms that are applied manually once. With a needle in the skin or with a brush on the biscuit.

Especially for this collaboration, Henk Schiffmacher has designed a number of unique objects with the master painters of Royal Delft, where the two worlds literally touch. The Schiffmacher Royal Blue Tattoo collection consists of both hand-painted items and transferred pieces.

Layered, deeply rooted and with respect, an ode to Delft Blue and the art of tattooing.
