Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about commissioning your personal armor
General Questions
Do you do cover ups? What should I be aware of in advance?
Yes, I do cover-ups using a technique where the old tattoo may still be partially visible underneath the new design. Important considerations: Perfect cover-ups are rare. Color tattoos have a higher probability of needing touch-ups. Design options are more limited as we must work around your existing tattoo's shape and placement.
Do the symbols in your designs have any special meaning or cultural significance?
While some symbols have traditional meanings, I don't impose specific interpretations on my designs. Each piece is an invitation for you to find your own personal meaning and connection to the art you wear.
In which cities can I find you?
I am based in Korea. I previously worked in Berlin and visit various cities for guest spots. Please check my social media for current location and upcoming guest spots.
Where does your inspiration come from?
My designs are primarily rooted in traditional Korean architecture, clothing, and paintings. However, I draw inspiration from the broader spectrum of Asian cultures and occasionally incorporate elements from other traditions to create unique, contemporary pieces.
Process
Why freehand and why stencil?
Freehand allows me to follow your body's natural contours and works best for challenging placements like the neck, shoulder, and ankle. Stencils are ideal for symmetric or highly detailed designs that require precision. I choose the technique that best serves your specific piece.
What do I need to prepare before the sessions?
Shave the area to be tattooed. Avoid alcohol 24 hours before your session. Eat a good meal beforehand and bring snacks, sweets, and drinks to maintain your energy during longer sessions. Wear comfortable clothing that provides easy access to the tattoo area.
How does the process work?
You'll receive draft sketches one week before your first appointment. After you select and approve the design, the first session begins with freehand drawing or stencil application, followed by outlining. Subsequent sessions focus on shading, filling, and final touch-ups as needed.
