Qulock - Resident Artist
Qulock relocated from Atlanta where he has been tattooing since 1995. He was born overseas and spent much of his childhood in Japan which influenced his taste in pop culture and art, from Menga to street art. Qulock’s favorite part of tattooing is working with individuals to come up with the perfect collaboration of ideas to make a great custom piece for each client. He also enjoys always having the coolest shoes in the studio.
