Eddy Wertwijn

Eddy WertwijnMijn naam is Eddy Wertwijn. Ik ben geboren in Diemen op 27-09-1962, waar ik ook mijn jeugd doorbracht. Tattoo Peter kwam in mijn leven toen ik ongeveer 14 jaar oud was, ik had voor die tijd nog nooit een tattoo van dichtbij gezien. Ik moet eerlijk zeggen dat ik het wel vreemd vond en ook wel een beetje eng, in die tijd zag je namelijk weinig tattoos waar ik woonde. Ik vond het al heel snel fascinerend hoe zo iets gemaakt werd. Ik weet nog goed dat ik met een passer en een potje inkt bij een vriend had getatoeëerd en hij bij mij. We waren toen niet ouder dan 15 jaar.

Na verloop van tijd werd ik nieuwsgieriger hoe zoiets tot stand kwam, Peter was erg terughoudend over het vertellen hoe alles in zijn werking ging. Toen ik 16 a 17 jaar was zijn we verhuisd naar Anna Paulowna waar we woonde op een woonboot. Peter tatoeëerde ook zo nu en dan wel eens een klant op de boot waarna ik het allemaal van dichtbij kon zien en het allemaal fascinerend vond hoe dit allemaal ging. Ik weet nog goed dat Peter vaak in de wintertijd aan het tekenen was en naalden en kleuren aan het maken was voor de shop. Toen ik nog steeds vaak bewonderend toekeek besloot ik dat ik het ook wou leren.

Peter tekende vaak in de wintertijd omdat het toen rustiger was. Toen ik ongeveer 17 jaar oud was mocht ik van Peter een keer zijn klant z’n tattoo inkleuren. In september 1980 ben ik op 17 jarige leeftijd begonnen met tatoeëren. In eerste instantie werkte ik alleen op zondags. De eerste paar jaren kleurde ik alleen maar de tattoos in, na verloop van tijd mocht ik meer en meer tatoeëren van Peter. Ik weet nog goed dat er in de shop voornamelijk westerse old school tattoos aan de wand hingen, in die tijd werkte we alleen maar met flash van de wand. Er was toen geen enige vorm van media zoals vandaag en de vraag naar custom designs was er nauwelijks. Het was een hele andere tijd dan nu. Wat aan de wand hing is wat we deden niks meer dan dat. Eind jaren 70 kwamen er meer andere stijlen en andere soorten tattoos.

Ik zelf ben altijd gefascineerd geweest van Japanse / orientaalse stijl tattoos die ik ook het liefst wil maken. Mijn collectie bestaat ook veelal uit Japanse boeken die ik gebruik als referentie voor me werk die ik maak. Ik tatoeëer nu meer dan 30 jaar en hoop het nog een hele tijd te doen.

Ik spreek: Nederlands, Engels en Duits.

Not many of these machines from Tattoo Peter are still around. Brass-frame. In the beginning of the 70s Peter had his machines chromed. So this one is probably from the 60s.  #tattoohistory #tattoopetermuseum #tattoomuseum @eddy_wertwijn
