I'm a tattoo artist based in Vancouver with a background in children’s book illustration. Before I began tattooing, I worked as an illustrator and published four children's books in Korea. Storytelling, imagination, and vibrant colour have always been central to my creative process.
My tattoo work is deeply influenced by my experience in illustration. I specialize in colourful, hand-drawn designs that carry the rich textures of oil pastel and oil paint. Every piece starts with traditional materials, bringing a warm, organic feel to each tattoo. I love creating tattoos that feel playful, painterly, and personal, like a storybook moment captured on skin.
