Upcoming atists
Nick Colella
And there he is, first up is @nickcolella ! Of course this wholehearted friend of ours – who made the beautiful poster – is available to tattoo you at the Pitstop. ⛽️⚡️
As owner of the famous @greatlakestattoo in Chicago he has been tattooing for nearly 30 years. In 2016 he was the first ever tattooer who tattooed in our coffeebar at the Voorstraat 46. He will be back and ready for you in the Village Roastery this time. Nick will be available for walk ups, he will bring flash you can choose from and he is always ready to talk designs.
Paul Dobleman
Talking about family… @pauldobleman will also be at The Pitstop! 💫
We love Paul and his art so much, we’ve travelled to so many places to get tattooed. In return he always makes sure to stop by Utrecht when he has the opportunity to visit. Having tattooed us many times throughout the years, and most of The Village crew, he is basically responsible for how we look 🙂 There is so much love for Paul at The Village that we don’t know where to begin.
He will be tattooing at The Pitstop, and if you are lucky he might have a spot left, so check him out at @pauldobleman or visit him in the future in SF at @blackhearttattoo where he works. 🍀✨
Andreas Coenen
It feels extremely special to have @andreas_coenen at Pitstop at The Village. The days before he organizes the one and only @kaiserstadt_tattoo_expo_aachen and still decides to travel to Utrecht the day after and participate at The Pitstop. 🍀✨
Andreas has been a massive influence on The Village Coffee and without him there would have never been a Pitstop or so many friends around the globe. He has the talent of connecting people without you even noticing it, and can throw the best mid-show parties ever :). He is family to The Village, and we are super stoked and proud as can be that he will at #pitstopatthevillage.
If you want to use this opportunity to get tattooed by Andreas in Utrecht you can contact him at @andreas_coenen , or check out books, posters and art @coenen_publishing or visit him in #Aachen at his private studio and have a look around the @sinner_saint_museum_gallery while you are there.

Our brother from another mother @justinweatherholtz will also be at @thevillagepitstop ! We met Justin years ago at @kaiserstadt_tattoo_expo_aachen and immediately kicked it off with a close friendship. 🍀✨
He is the co-founder and organizer of the amazing @pagodacitytattoofest where he invited us to serve coffee for the last 3 shows. His tattoos are always powerful and truly works of art. Justin is a resident in Greenpoint, Brooklyn at @good_luck_nyc

Scott Sylvia

One of the hardest working artists we’ve ever met, and his tattoos are as powerful as his dedication. Scott is the co-founder and owner of the amazing @blackhearttattoo in SF and lives and breathes tattooing.
We are really proud that he will be making The Pitstop in between the Aachen and London conventions. So, you better get started on that email, cause @scsylvia will be tattooing at @thevillagepitstop and you sure don’t want to miss that.

Next up is one of favorite dudes ever, close friend and all around amazing person @tattoo.yobbo !!! Yobbo started his career right here in Utrecht and we couldn’t be more stoked that he is making the trip back here again to tattoo you at The Pitstop. 🙏🏻⚡️
His tattoos are crazy unique and it always blows our mind what he makes next. Make sure to contact him to get in at The Pitstop. Yobbo recently moved from Hamburg to Berlin where he spends his time between @conspiracyinctattoo & @roseofnomanslandberlin 🌹
Uncle Allan
Our hearts are on 🔥 because our close friend and favorite @unclea is also tattooing at The Pitstop! We connected instantly many years ago, on our shared love for music and everything black. 🖤
His metal inspired tattoos are obviously amongst our favorite. We cannot stress enough that you shouldn’t sleep on making an appointment with this wizard. Uncle Allan works out of his shop @conspiracyinctattoo in Berlin, definitely worth a visit.
Brandon Lee Heuser
All the way from Chicago, our buddy @blheuser is also tattooing at The Pitstop. While we met this year, it feels like we’ve known him for years. He was like a brother to us when we visited Chicago this year. ✨💛
His tattoos are both bold and fine depending on your request, but always wild. Brandon works in our favorite @greatlakestattoo in Chicago, which is definitely worth the visit if you find yourself in Chicago.
Katie Gray
The amazing @____katie.gray will also be tattooing at The Pitstop. We met her this year at @pagodacitytattoofest and were super stoked to hear she would be in Europe during The Pitstop, and she decided on the spot to add a stop to Utrecht in her schedule. ⛽️⚡️
Katie makes beautiful work, her pieces of art will surely get you excited to try and make an appointment. You better be quick, because she only has one spot left at The Pitstop. Katie owns and works from her shop @____the_helm in San Francisco.
Peter van Liempt
There once was a tattoeer in Utrecht, who went to the Dutch archives and searched for Dutch tattoo history. He found a photo which was proof of tattooing in the early days in Utrecht in the Willemstraat. He decided it was the right step for him to start his own tattooshop in the same street of this little piece of Dutch tratitional tattoo history. Of course we are talking about our dear friend @pvltattoos who loves his double espresso. He will be away from this own shop for two days to tattoo at the Pitstop at the Village Roastery. Check out his shop if you’re around the Willemstraat, and his work at @pvltattoos ⛽️⚡️
Dick de Wit
Our beloved neighbour @dickdewit_magictattoo will also be part of The Pitstop. 💫⛽️
Dick has been one of the longest running tattooers in Utrecht, he started tattooing in 1984 and his @magictattoo in the Voorstraat has been a staple for so many for so many years. It feels very special to be able to have Dick de Wit at The Pitstop instead of down the street from The Village.
If you are around the Voorstraat check out his shop, him and his team are always around and available for walk ups or appointments.
