There is a short list of tattoo artists whose work is instantly recognizable anywhere in the world.

Victor Chil is on it.

Based in Barcelona, Spain, Victor is the owner of Family Art Tattoo — one of Europe's most respected custom studios — and one of the defining voices in neo-traditional, new school, and color realism tattooing. His work is characterized by bold, eccentric, deeply imaginative compositions that treat the body as a canvas for storytelling.

WHY COLLABORATIONS MATTER

Seoul Ink Tattoo was founded in 2007 and established in Gangnam 2011 with a principle: artistry, culture, and connection. The guest artists we host are a direct extension of that philosophy.

Hosting artists of Victor Chil's calibre does three things at once: it brings world-class tattooing to Seoul, it creates meaningful exchange between our home team here in Gangnam and the global tattoo community, and it reinforces Seoul, South Korea as a serious destination on the international tattoo map.

Guest weeks at Seoul Ink are not promotional events. They are working collaborations between peers.
