Yoska Richard, Amsterdam tattoo artist specialising in lettering and script tattoos

Rooted in Tradition.

The Legacy of Script and Traditional Tattooing

Born and raised in Amsterdam, I’ve been tattooing since 2009 and focus mainly on Lettering & Script tattoos. Script takes steady hand and precision, and I make sure every piece is explicitly distinct. I also work in Old-School Traditional tattooing, with bold colour, heavy lines, and designs inspired by classic sailor tattoos. My approach is simple: tattoos that stand the test of time.


I’ve practised the craft long enough to know what works and what doesn’t. Most people who sit in my chair want tattoos that mean something and look solid for life. Whether it’s Script across the chest or an anchor on the arm, I give every piece the same respect and dedication – clean, bold, and built to last.

Healing Tips

How To Care For Your Tattoo

After getting a tattoo, keep it clean by gently washing it with a mild, antibacterial soap and lukewarm water, then pat it dry with a clean (paper) towel. Apply a thin layer of a fragrance-free ointment or lotion recommended by your artist, and reapply after washing. Avoid direct sun exposure, tight clothing, soaking in water, and picking or scratching the tattoo until it is fully healed.
