This Korean tattoo artist is enhancing the beauty of women with body art

Silo is a female tattoo artist who works from Aro Tattoo Studio in Itaewon, Seoul, an area of South Korea. Because tattoos are very controversial in Korea and are looked down on by many in South Korean society, tattoo artists often choose not to advertise their shops, instead relying on word-of-mouth referrals from previous customers. Silo takes bookings for tattoos via her email address, [email protected], and does not have a website for her art or her tattoo studio for the same reason that she chooses to use a nickname; Silo, instead of her real name. This is because while tattoos are not illegal in South Korea, the law states that tattoo artists must have a medical degree in order to give tattoos, and tattooists who do not have a medical degree are fined. Most tattoo artists don’t have a medical degree, and so they accept the occasional fine for practising their art. Unfortunately, this often adds to the cost of getting a tattoo in South Korea.

Silo’s tattoos are unmistakably feminine in that their subject matter is based on delicate displays of flowers, which are tattooed in a non-threatening style. Delicacy, elegance and pacifism are human traits that are associated with women. Tattoo artist Silo’s tattooed posies often look as though they have been carefully painted onto the skin, instead of indelibly inked into the skin itself. Her gentle style, which is most frequently tattooed onto female clients, is in direct opposition to the common misconception in South Korea that only gangsters and criminals wear tattoos, and that tattoos only symbolise violent and oppressive ideas. Silo’s tattoos symbolise the sweet freshness of spring, the blossoming excitement that is felt when starting something new and the optimism felt by those who fill their lives with colour and beauty.

Use Silo’s email address, [email protected] to book your flower tattoo with her, or follow her Instagram account to get regular updates from this talented artist. Learn more about flower tattoos here on RattaTattoo.

 

Korean tattoo artist Silo shows off her skills with these delicate and feminine tattoos of flowers on the feet. Note how the artist hasn’t used dark outlines, instead creating soft edges for the petals that mimic how they are in nature. [source]

 

Tattoo artist silo has used pastel pinks,blue and greens to make this spray of flowers more feminine and gentle-seeming. [source]

 

This beautiful lavender flower tattoo uses only three colours, purple, green and white, to create a girly ankle tattoo. [source]

 

By making the flowers in this forearm tattoo bouquet design so tiny, tattoo artist Silo encourages people to take a closer look by getting closer to the woman who wears the tattoo. [source]

 

In this floral shoulder tattoo, female tattooist Silo has added a tiny hummingbird to the flower bouquet to add to the sweet and heart-warming nature of the design. [source]

 

This ladies’ foot tattoo design by female artist Silo is the perfect summer accessory as it can be shown off while walking barefoot on the beach or when wearing strappy heels and sandals. [source]

 

Some of Korean tattoo artist Silo’s tattoos are quite large, like this full back fantasy tattoo of blue poppy flowers. They exist in this tattoo, but blue poppy flowers don’t exist in real life. [source]

 

While tattoo artist Silo has used many bright and vibrant colours in this woman’s thigh tattoo, it is stylish and elegant as opposed to being garish and tasteless. [source]

 

Korean tattoo artist Silo has added three butterflies to this rose tattoo to emphasise the delicate and fragile beauty that the tattoo design symbolises. [source]
