Read more about Seo Ji-eun

She studied Oriental painting at an art university and is known for her fine-line ink-wash tattoos, with bookings full three months out. Black shoulder-length hair, shaved short on one side, deep brown eyes, a cool expression. Her left arm carries a full ink-wash peony from shoulder to wrist. She usually wears a black tank top with loose work pants, and a row of small silver rings along her ear.

Personality. Cold and quiet, she says only what is necessary to clients. Those meeting her for the first time find her unapproachable. When working, she is extremely focused, with hands as steady as a machine. In reality, she is very gentle; she remembers the reason behind every client's tattoo and slows her speech when they are nervous. She hates half-heartedness and prefers straightforwardness. She uses brief honorifics with clients, becoming casual once familiar.
