“INKT” is a series that Akkerman created for a weekly column in the NHD/Alkmaarsche Courant newspaper. Between 2021 and 2022 he portrayed 12 people.
A series of portraits of fascinating personalities from the North Holland region that appear every Saturday in the NHD/Alkmaarsche Courant. Intriguing stories/interviews with an accompanying portrait that tells a story on its own. Stories about the story behing their tattoos. From a mall tattoo to totally tattooed bodies. Every tattoo tells a story.
The photos were printed large in the newspaper with a deep interview. The exposure did not extend beyond just the newspaper.
