Meet Yoshi: A Fine-Line Tattoo Artist in London
Multicultural Background and Artistic Journey
Yoshi, also known as Seonkwang Park, is a Korean-Japanese tattoo artist who was raised in Korea and has spent over a decade refining his artistic voice. Trained in fine arts before transitioning to tattooing, he brings both classical and contemporary influences into every piece he creates.
His early work leaned toward traditional Japanese and American styles, but a return to his roots in pencil and pen sketching helped him develop a unique visual identity. Today, Yoshi is known for his minimalist yet emotionally rich linework—often described as wearable sketches with a story.
A Personal Mission
Yoshi’s journey into tattooing was driven by personal loss and a desire to create meaningful, lasting art. His first tattoos were memorials for his late parents, and since then, every design he creates is infused with emotion and symbolism. “Tattoo makes me remember who I am,” he once said—and that sentiment flows through each piece he inks.
Style and Techniques
Fine-Line Mastery
Yoshi’s tattoos are distinguished by their ultra-fine lines, resembling delicate pencil drawings or old-world engravings. He often uses 01RL and 03RL needles to achieve intricate detail and soft shading that mimics graphite textures.
Eye Motifs and Emotion
A defining theme in Yoshi’s portfolio is the human eye—each piece a window into the soul. These tattoos capture raw, unfiltered emotion: sorrow, resilience, fear, or love. Inspired by the Korean proverb, “Eyes are the window to the soul,” Yoshi believes that eyes tell a deeper story than words ever could.
Custom Collaboration
Approximately 95% of Yoshi’s tattoos are custom-drawn for individual clients. He works closely with each person, often starting with a reference photo (such as a loved one’s eye or an expressive image) and crafting a piece that honors their story. His design process is collaborative and thoughtful, ensuring that the final tattoo is both aesthetically beautiful and emotionally significant.
