About the artist
LOW is a tattoo artist based in New York. Having been involved in various forms of art since a young age, he initially studied visual design in South Korea. However, he left his degree program after becoming captivated by tattooing and started his journey into the tattoo world in 2014. In 2021, LOW relocated his practice to New York and has continued to work there ever since. He is known for integrating his unique calligraphy art into his tattoo work, creating pieces based on Korean, Chinese, and English scripts as well as abstract brush strokes. Through this, he crafts beautiful lines on the human body that exude both intensity and elegance.
