Mr. K for Grailed: The South Korean Tattoo Artist Talks Tattoos and His Closet Sale

Описание: Hailing from Seoul, South Korea, Sanghyuk Ko, known as Mr. K, is a resident tattoo artist at Bang Bang NYC. Sought-after for his signature fine-line aesthetic, Mr. K came to insta-fame at the forefront of the modern “tiny tattoo” trend, trading the traditional hyper-masculinity of avant-garde ink for more ornate techniques rooted in the intricacies of drawing. An innate appreciation for composition and adornment has dictated Mr. K’s entire artistic career, which formally began at Parsons with a degree in graphic design—followed by a few years in the fashion industry and the launch of his own streetwear brand. Having always held a profound interest in tattoos, transitioning his skillset to skin was a natural transition. His focused eye for precision and nouveau sensibility has made him an in-demand talent with endless social respect and an A-list clientele. One of the standout items in this sale to grab is the tee Mr. K wore tattooing Michael J. Fox—the actor best known for portraying Marty McFly in the all-time ’80s classic Back to the Future. Look out for other closet-sale steals by the likes of Supreme, Alyx, Yeezy, Gucci, Pyrex and more.
