Meet 40 — Dual Mastery in Black & Grey and Colour Micro Realism
40 is a Seoul-trained, internationally touring tattoo artist celebrated for museum-grade detail at miniature scale. Under @40.tatt she focuses on black & grey micro realism (portraits, wildlife, botanicals); under @40.color she delivers high-saturation colour micro realism with surreal/anatomical motifs that feel alive on skin. Expect single-needle precision, velvety gradients, and clean healing that preserves tiny details long-term.
Why collectors book 40: consistency, detail retention at small sizes, and designs tailored to skin tone, placement, and lifestyle.
