The court has ruled in our favor and the studio will remain at its historic home in Nyhavn. This outcome preserves a vital piece of our shared cultural legacy for years to come. We will remain observant to ensure this history stays protected.

The case is going to court on the 14th September. Please help support the fight by signing this petition which is gonna be used in court as defend of our trade and history to join here. Thanks! Frank Rosenkilde and Majbritt Petersen.

Reaching ten thousand signatures serves as a powerful reminder of how many people value this piece of cultural history. It is deeply moving to see such a widespread recognition of why this studio deserves to remain exactly where it has been for so long.

It is very important to preserve what seems by far to be the world's oldest continually operating tattoo shop in the same physical location. To not preserve this piece of cultural history would be a serious loss to the global art community.
You keep your churches, you keep your temples, all from the oldest times remembered, but these shops are temples in another way for many other people. You are destroying the root of a tradition. Expect back lash as we would of you for tearing down the Vatican.
This tattoo shop is holy ground to the millions of tattooers and tattoo fans world wide. It would be criminal to destroy the oldest existing shop on earth, our mecca. The Motor City Tattoo Museum supports the preservation of this historic site.
Nyhavn har altid været søfolk og tatovører, begge parter hører til kvarterets historie og det er den historie restaurationerne dernede lukrerer på. Det er med undren at jeg læser, at en f restauratørerne igen forsøger at få en historisk del af Nyhavn lukket..
Det er av verdi at bevare den historiska tatto butiken det er mange generationer som har fåt sin sejler tattoo det både min far og farfar hadde og har sin därfra för mange er det en katastrof för nyhavnen att det bare er en tanke åt fjerne tattoo oles butik
I visited this studio first time in 1987, I was 18 years old.

The loss of Nyhavn 17 would be an irretrievable loss not only to the history of tattooing and the arts worldwide, but also to the cultural and seagoing heritage of Denmark. It should be designated a landmark and afforded due protections immediately.
