The 'Stay Stoned: Madness, Cannabis & Tattoos' exhibition presents a colourful and creative exploration of the connection between tattoos and cannabis culture. Developed in collaboration with Gilberto Cannarozzi and Samuele Salvadori, compilers of the Stay Stoned book, this unique display is set within the Hemp Gallery, a space that was once Henk Schiffmacher’s Amsterdam Tattoo Museum. Visitors can immerse themselves in a fantastical cannabis concept of a classic tattoo parlour, where over forty newly-created sheets of marihuana tattoo 'flash' (off-the-peg tattoo designs) from the book are publicly exhibited for the first time. These original designs provide an intriguing context for a curated selection of related images and objects drawn from the Museum's own collection. The exhibition further enriches its narrative with a unique album of crowdsourced photographs and personal stories, illustrating the convergence of these two distinct subcultures. The exhibition highlights the creative contributions of tattoo artists selected by Cannarozzi and Salvadori, including notable names such as Danny Boy, Jondix, Bill Loika, Robert Ryan, and Henk and Morris Schiffmacher. These artists delve into and celebrate their personal experiences with cannabis through visually stunning tattoo sheets. The historical context of cannabis tattoos is also explored, tracing their emergence in the 1960s and 70s as a significant part of counterculture lifestyles, moving beyond traditional tattoo demographics to embrace symbols of peace, love, and mind-altering effects. This genre has evolved to include intricate designs like molecular THC structures, photo-realistic trichomes, and botanical prints.
