A great video from the guys at CoolHunting:
In their video author Jon Nordstrøn brings his book Danish Tattooing to life by visiting Copenhagen’s most famous tattoo shops, telling stories along the way about the artists who made the subculture so significant there. From homemade tattoo guns to the influence of psychedelics on more recent styles, Nordstrøn’s colorful history is a must for anyone interested in the origins of the artform.
