Here she became the first and so far only tattoo artist ever to have tattooed in such a different and unique place. The presence in the National Archives at the culture night was like a pop-up event in Stormgade with the purpose of telling the story of the tattoos the women had in the women's prison in the Lagkage house, in the early 1900s.

• April and September 2019 Nyhavn 17 will be formally branded under several different categories, including tattoo services.

Nyhavn 17 is known for its crookedness and tattoos, here has always housed an artistic environment. The trademark at the address was strictly impossible to get, but after a long argument with the help of lawyers, it finally succeeded because that address is so well known for its tattoo history. Incidentally, tourists come from all parts of the world to see this little shop.

What on paper should have been a simple matter between a tenant and a landlord, is now finding its way to the press. Things are picking up speed and everywhere in the world from the Washington Post to the Daily Mail, as well as several tattoo magazines, the case is now being described. In the Danish media, Ekstra Bladet, Berlingske Tidende and TV2 also appear on the field. The case even found its way to German EU politician Martin Sonneborn, who recommended preserving the store.

It has been more than 100 years since the doors first opened in the old tattoo shop. Although the setting has changed from a raw and harsh port environment, to a fashionable tourist area, the spirit lives on in the old walls. The small rooms under the old cobblestones still buzz with activity, and ink still finds its way to skin, as it always has.
