Coquettish Fetish

Angelique Houtkamp is a dutch born tattoo artist, painter and shoe designer, whose feminine images range from glamourous pinup girls gently whispering their hoodoo proclivities, like in the paintings Love/hate, Magda and Vertimae, to slightly sapphic, androgenous figures, such as in Brunhilde and Sailorette.  Angelique's enticing flash prints display a touch 1920's glamour, while hinting at a modern splendor defined by the oh-so-delicate line work and flawlessly feminine finish that each print reveals.
