Hi, my name is Hye ("hey"). I am a Korean American Seattleite data junky, with a wonderful husband, 2 adorable cats, and 1 sweetie pie pup.
When I was little, I loved all things art. As I got older, I lost sight of my passion, and it wasn’t until after the pandemic that I decided to get back into my artistic roots. After some exploring, I ended up taking classes on microblading and lip blushing and quickly learned tattooing gave me the artistic outlet I had been looking for.
In 2023, I opened this studio and named it after my (Horse) and my husband’s (Serpent) Chinese zodiacs. Once I opened by studio, I started to dabble in fine line tattoos and have been lucky enough to have trusting friends and family who have lent me their skin to help me build up skills and confidence.
As a self-taught tattoo artist, I couldn’t be here if it weren’t for friends, family, models, and clients like you! Thank you for your curiosity, support, and trust. You’ve made my dreams come true and I promise I will continue doing my best to provide the best quality work and customer service. Looking forward to working with you or working with you again~ ~Hye~
