Korean-American grew up in the country of midwest USA. Went to art school in Minneapolis then moved to Korea after college and taught English for 3 years. After that decide to go back stateside and concentrate on my art. Moved to NYC, worked in the fashion photography industry for a couple years. Then moved on to apprentice at a tattoo shop. Currently working at Armagedddon Ink in Williamburg, Brooklyn NYC as a tattoo artist.
But I'm planning to backpack Asia in October 2017. So I want to make new friends in unfamilar places. Try new experiences and create memories. ;)
