This past week we ran a competition for our loyal subscribers to go in the draw to win:

Tattoo Darling: The Art of Angelique Houtkamp

Gemma reviewed this book in issue 4 of mixtape:

Okay, this is probably bad taste self promotion since I helped make this book. But maybe if I just declare that you will forgive me. Angelique is a Dutch artist, collector and tattooist. She mixes traditional tattoo iconography with her own dreamy visions and other slices from her preferred historical moments. Nostalgic, sweet, dark and mysterious - Angelique is an inspirational craftswoman both with the watercolour brush and the tattoo gun. It is a testimony to her tough personality and damn fine skill that people everywhere beg to go under her gun and get imprinted for life. Did I say that I love her and I'm bias? Do you forgive me?

The winner of the book is Felicity from NZ and the runners up are: Nerida Naomi & Louise who will all receive one of Angeliques stunning cards in the mail soon.
