I am Jeanri, a fine art tattoo artist based in Haarlem.
My work is created for the modern romantic, those who feel deeply, appreciate beauty, and are drawn to art, literature, music, and cinema.
Inspired by Renaissance and Romanticism, oil paintings, filigree, and portraiture, I translate classical aesthetics into custom tattoos that feel soft, personal, and enduring.
Each piece is designed specifically for the individual, with great care for meaning, placement, and harmony with the body.
My tattoos are not trends, they are artworks meant to live with you for a lifetime.
TATTOOS AS WEARABLE FINE ART
I approach tattooing as I would a painting, slowly, thoughtfully, and with respect for the medium. The human body is not simply a surface, but a living canvas that deserves intentional design.
Every tattoo begins with a conversation. Together, we explore emotion, memories, and artistic inspiration to create a one of a kind piece that feels deeply personal and visually timeless.
From concept development to placement and execution, every detail is considered to ensure your tattoo ages beautifully and feels like it has always belonged to you.
This is heirloom art, translated onto skin.
SELECTED WORKS
Below is a selection of custom tattoos inspired by classical art, romance, and painterly realism.
Each piece is created in close collaboration with the client and designed exclusively for their body.
No designs are repeated. Every tattoo is a singular work of art.
"ART WASHES AWAY FROM THE SOUL THE DUST OF EVERYDAY LIFE."

THE EXPERIENCE
Getting tattooed by me is meant to feel calm, personal, and safe. Many of my clients come to mark meaningful moments in their lives, honor loved ones, or express their connection to art and storytelling.
I guide you through the entire process, whether it is your first tattoo or a deeply considered addition to your collection. Sessions are relaxed and intimate, often described as feeling like creating art together rather than simply getting tattooed.
Clients travel to me from across the Netherlands and beyond for this experience.
IS MY WORK RIGHT FOR YOU?
My work is best suited for those who appreciate fine art, softness, and intentional design. If you are looking for bold, graphic, traditional, or cartoon style tattoos, I may not be the right artist for you.
If you are drawn to timeless, painterly tattoos with depth and meaning, you are in the right place.
