The first time we met Hongdam we were a little nervous. We had an appointment with him to permanently mark our bodies. As we rode the subway on our way to his studio, we couldn’t help but think about the outcome, we did have some designs in mind but nothing was on paper, it was going to be designed right on the spot, so the fear of uncertainty regarding the pain and final design was a little overwhelming.  So we arrived at Inkedwall, a small cozy and beautifully designed studio located in the heart of Seoul, South Korea. There was no going back.

As we travel we are fortunate to have amazingly talented people to cross our lives. It’s not only inspiring; it’s humbling to hear the stories they have to tell us.  We met up with Hongdam and Doy, a duo who are quickly influencing the Korean tattoo scene and changing cultural stigma.
