Tattoo Ole Nyhavn 17 Is a small basement tattoo parlour located in Nyhavn 17, Copenhagen, Denmark. It is now the oldest operating tattoo parlor in the world. The small basement in the beginning was a shared tobacco store and a bar. Sailors flooded Nyhavn in the 19th century and tattoo became a trend, the shared basement accomodated fresh artists who sits amongst drunk costumers with just their ink and needle. Its establishment in 1884 was traced back from the drawings of Emil Gustav Bechmann found in the museum of Criminology in Copenhagen. It was handed down from one artist to another to several artists. Ole Valdemar Hansen took over from Tattoo Jack in 1947 and gave Nyhavn 17 a name ”Tattoo Ole” as it is called today.
