About Us
Hey! This is team Honey, welcome to our website. We're a small tattoo shop on Amsterdam's KNSM island, a green pocket in the heart of the city where you can slow down and listen to the boats gently rocking on the water. Where our surroundings are calm, inside our shop it's vibrant - we love mixing different artists, styles and backgrounds under one roof. Whether you're a client, an artist or just passing by, we want you to feel at home.
Our Location
Our studio is filled with drawings and murals from our friends and collegues. The studio changes over time as we swap murals and give artists space to explore large ideas.
Our Artists
Our resident artists are the core team at Honey Honey, the people you can find here day in and day out. In addition to our residents, our shop regularly hosts guest artists from around the world. To see the upcoming guest artists, follow us on Instagram. To book one of our artists, contact them directly or email us and we’ll connect you!
Willemijn (tattoo Willie)
Willemijn, also known online as Tattoo Willie, is the owner of tattooshop HoneyHoney. Willie works in painting and tattooing. Her tattoos are playful, dreamy and naive. Subjects that inspire her are our roots in nature, folk art, mythical creatures and how they relate to common life and people.
Story and image should intertwine, which is why Willie loves connecting with her client to build an image together.
Trained through a traditional tattoo apprenticeship (and a BA in Fine Arts), she is now forging her own path with honeyhoney, she hopes to bring various media, artistic directions and people under one roof.

Cedric de Rodot
Cedric is a French tattoo artist based in Amsterdam and resident artist at Honey Honey tattoo studio.
He works with both handpoke and tattoo machine, creating custom tattoos and original designs inspired by everyday life. His process often starts with drawings on paper and can continue freehand, drawing directly on the skin to adapt the design to each person.
Alongside tattooing, Cedric develops drawings, objects and other creative projects under CDR 2.0.

Amy
+
Amy works primarily in fantasy, dark romantic and in an illustrative dreamy tattooing style, creating custom designs inspired by mythical creatures, games, nature and a (darker) side of fantasy. Her work combines delicate linework with flowing forms and intricate details, creating pieces that feel elegant and dreamy.
Alongside her fantasy work, she explores blackwork, high contrast, lettering and edgy fineline designs through her other portfolio, allowing her to work across two different styles while keeping a strong focus on her own original outputs and personal designs.

Christie Zwart (nachtslak)
Nachtslak is the brainchild of multidisciplinary artist Christie Zwart. The name translates to Nightsnail, and is inspired by slugs, queer beings who mostly come out at night due to lack of a protective shell.
The raw feeling of drawing and painting materials is an important element in their work, as well as contrast. The contrast between light and dark, texture and smoothness, seriousness and playfulness, conceptual and material.
They explore a wide array of subject matter and play around with material expression. This work is playfull with a dark edge.
