Whats the story of my mystery tattoo

December 29, 2005 6:25 PM

I'm looking for any information regarding a danish anarchist gang of children.

A few years ago I got a group tattoo with a few friends. The story goes that it was the graffiti of an anarchist gang of children (7-12ish) from denmark and it meant "child power". I am looking for information about them the most I've come up with so far is they are mentioned in the description of the tattoo's shape on symbols.com.

What is their name? What are they about? Why are they so young? Any suggestions on where to continue my search? It seems like I should have a little more info if I'm going to have this on my body for the rest of my life.

Best answer: Googling for [danish anarchy "child power"] brought up this meager page, which mentions "Brrne Magt (child power group)" at the bottom. Couldn't find anything else Googling for Brrne Magt, but maybe that'd be a place to start -- a name. Plus, there's an address and fax contact number there, though who knows how current they are.

Best answer: From that page that mentions the child power group, there is a reference to Christiania Radio, which is associated with the Christiania community in Denmark. Perhaps they might have some more information about the group.

Response by poster: thanks to a combination of the links you've given me and a chat on irc with someone from Christiania i was able to track down their website. Børnemagt thanks a bunch!
