Meet UZI – From Seoul to London

Known on Instagram as @inklings_uzi, Uzi is a South Korean artist with a massive following and a loyal global client base. He started tattooing in Seoul around 2015 and has since taken his unique style worldwide, with guest spots in New York, Dublin, Paris, Amsterdam, and now right here in London.
