One of the leading tattooers in this style, who goes by the tattoo alias ColdGray, has brought big talent from Seoul and is making his mark with detailed black and gray portraits done on a small scale. He is one of the many micro tattooists who hail from South Korea, with celebrity artists Dr Woo and Mr K leading the pack, and he recently finished guest spots at Bang Bang in NYC and Guru in San Diego. Check out some of his work and keep up with his social media to learn if he’ll be tattooing in a city near you soon.
