Heritage Customs Tattoo Inspired Defender
Heritage Customs, renowned for their expertise in crafting high-end, personalized Land Rovers and Range Rovers, proudly announces an unique and creative collaboration with legendary tattoo artist Henk Schiffmacher, famous for his iconic tattoo work and cultural influence. This partnership represents a bold new venture into the world of luxury automobile customization, blending art, craftsmanship, and automotive excellence.
Together, Heritage Customs and Henk Schiffmacher have designed a one-of-a-kind collection of bespoke features for Defenders, fusing automotive design with tattoo artistry in ways never seen before. The collaboration includes a range of forged alloy wheels in 20 inch, meticulously crafted and inspired by Schiffmacher’s unique tattoo- and pattern designs. These wheels serve as a statement piece, turning every Defender into a moving canvas of cultural expression and bespoke artistry.
Moreover, the full exterior bodywork of the first car is covered with motifs, that have defined Schiffmacher’s work over the decades. These designs, painstakingly applied by hand, bring an air of exclusivity and individuality to the vehicle, offering customers a chance to own a true work of art on wheels.

The collaboration also extends to the car’s interior, with custom leather patterns applied to the seats and etched metal plates on the dashboard. These patterns reflect the intricate detailing and rich symbolism found in Schiffmacher’s tattoos and patterns, ensuring that every part of the vehicle—from the exterior to the interior—embodies an unified vision of craftsmanship and artistry.
Henk Schiffmacher, known for tattooing some of the most recognizable figures in the world, shared his enthusiasm for this unique venture:
” It’s not every day I design a car, normally I work on the driver! For years my canvas has been the skin, so the opportunity to bring my designs to the automotive world with Heritage Customs is special. This partnership allows me to create a car with a soul.”
