Guest Artist Feature
Mr.K - Seoul Ink Tattoo
Mr. K — is a resident artist at Bang Bang NYC, the studio Vogue once called "the most famous tattoo studio in the world." His client list reads like a Met Gala guest list. He is widely credited as one of the key figures of the modern fine line and micro-realism tattoo movement — the artist who turned the tattoo into something closer to fine jewellry for the skin in the American scene.
Originally from Seoul, Mr. K returned home to Korea for a single afternoon as a guest with us at Seoul Ink Tattoo.
The event was structured as a true flash day — fast, design-forward, and intimate by design:
Date: March 2nd
Format: Flash designs only
Spots: 7 total
Six pre-drawn flash designs were released ahead of the event — a chained heart, a "Love" barbed wire script, a 777 safety pin, a tear-streaked eye, a hanging spider, and a barbed-wire script piece. Each spot was taken almost as soon as we announced his guest spot with us.
