Hando

Large Scale Realism · Black & Grey

HANDO — Korean tattoo artist who began my journey in 2020. I've always been drawn to stories. Mythology, religious traditions, and history have always been a major source of inspiration for me. Renaissance art, biblical narratives, Eastern and Western mythology, as well as classical sculpture and architecture, continue to influence the way I design and create my work. I specialize in black and grey realism, with a strong focus on fine detail and craftsmanship. Rather than simply creating an image, I aim to create tattoos with meaning, atmosphere, and timeless quality — pieces that people will be proud to wear for years to come. Now based in Australia, I'm excited to take on new challenges, work on larger and more meaningful projects, and continue growing as an artist. My goal is to keep refining my craft while creating tattoos that leave a lasting impression.
