Hen is a tattoo artist from Seoul who gets ideas from animals for her brilliant designs. The cute side of animals, big and small, is shown in these simple drawings through the use of strong lines, simple shapes and bright colors.
There are colorful sheep, hedgehogs with long eyelashes and kittens with funny faces. All of these happy animals look like they belong in their own comic. When Hen makes tattoos, he uses hatching and stippling marks to show the texture of the animal’s fur, add color and give the piece a sense of movement. He also often adds small sparkles to his cute figures by drawing four straight black lines and a yellow dot in the middle.
Chicken tattoos usually have an animal and some simple details around it, but some have more complicated and sometimes magical undertones. In one piece, for example, two cats are huddled inside a rocket ship that looks like something out of a cartoon and is headed into space. Another tattoo shows a happy dog sitting inside a large cup of coffee. No matter what type of animal it is or how big the tattoo, Hen turns every image into a colorful playroom.
