What inspired you to become a tattoo artist?

To be honest, I wasn't interested in tattoos until I met my partner, Rakim. I had my first tattoo with him, and the tattooist who was his dream naturally became my dream when I met him. LOVE is everything to me, and now I love tattooing and tattooing my boyfriend.

How long have you been tattooing?

In February 2021, I started my first work on Jeju Island in South Korea. I never formally learned about hand poke, I taught myself. At that time, my partner, who was already a tattooist at the time, helped me a lot. And as a result, I felt I was constantly growing every day. 

I feel really grateful to my all customers who have come to see me since then until today. Thank you for always trusting me <3

What is your preferred style of tattooing? Do you specialize in any particular type of tattoo?

The handpoke(stick and poke) is not artificial, and has a vintage, and strong emotional feeling. In particular, it does not spread easily and boasts higher color development in special areas such as hands, feet, and ears. 

I specialize in fine lines, special parts, color tattoos, and emotional tattoos. Additionally, I'm into black and grey styles like realism these days.

Please feel free to tell me what tattoo you want. I'll make a unique and cool design just for you!

What are some of your interests outside of tattooing? 

Nothing.. yes, this is my problem.  After I started tattooing, I lost all my hobbies. I’d love to give each customer a unique design that is the only one in the world, so I draw it every day after work.

But lately, I'm looking for new hobbies, and I'm going to start bowling and golf. Please show a lot of support!
