About Me

Hi, I’m Dokdan, a tattoo artist based in Seoul, South Korea.

With a background in design, I’m passionate about creating visual stories that feel personal and timeless.

I specialize in black & grey, fine line, cover-ups, and pet portrait tattoos in a range of styles.

Every tattoo is carefully designed through one-on-one consultation to reflect each client’s story and vision.

I believe tattoos should be more than just images.
they are meaningful expressions of who you are.

I am grateful to everyone who chooses to work with me,
and I look forward to creating lasting stories together.

Tattoo Aftercare Instructions

Please follow these steps carefully:

1-1.  If your tattoo has been wrapped with plastic film, remove it after 2 hours or once you arrive home.

1-2.  Remove the Second Skin gently after 2 days. (If any water gets inside, remove it immediately.)

2.  Wash the area with lukewarm water.

3.  Gently pat the area to remove moisture, then allow it to air dry.

4.  Apply a thin layer of aftercare cream or Vaseline.

5.  Continue applying Vaseline 3–4 times a day to prevent dryness.

Avoid letting soap bubbles come into contact with the tattooed area, and wash only with water.

⚠️ Do not scratch, even if it feels itchy. If the itching becomes too uncomfortable, briefly rinse with cold water and reapply the aftercare cream or Vaseline.

Follow this process for two weeks, and avoid alcohol, saunas, intense exercise, and tanning during this period to reduce the risk of infection.

After two weeks, occasionally applying moisturizer and sunscreen will help preserve the colors longer.

If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact me.
