Jin is a Korean non-binary tattoo artist and high school art teacher based out of Seattle, WA.

​For Jin, getting tattoos is a way for them to feel in control of their own body. They also see it as a form of gender-affirming care. Tattooing is a sacred practice to them and they prioritize building trust  and providing a comfortable environment for their clients while they get tattooed.

​Jin's teaching philosophy is that they want their students to leave their classes with a positive relationship to artmaking, with the understanding that result often doesn't matter as long as the process was enjoyable.

​Everyone starts out making art. Along the way our self-consciousness overshadows our joy, but Jin believes that it's never too late to find that joy again
