Sanctuary of the Unseen, Black Garden
A garden,
growing
with you.
보이지 않는 것들의 안식처, 검은 정원. 상상의 존재를 그리고, 피부 위에 새깁니다.
A sanctuary for the unseen, the Black Garden. I draw imaginary plants and plant them on your skin.
01 / Find your plant
Choose your plant.
마음에 남는 식물이 있다면 가까이 들여다보세요.
If a plant stays with you, take a closer look.
이곳의 식물은 여러 사람의 몸에 새겨질 수 있습니다. 원하시면 줄기의 방향이나 잎의 흐름, 길이를 몸의 곡선에 맞춰 조금씩 다듬습니다.
바뀌는 부분은 작업 당일 피부 위에 직접 그립니다. 그렇게 당신의 몸에 맞춘 형태는 같은 모습으로 다시 새기지 않습니다.
특별히 새기고 싶은 이야기가 있다면, 예약에서 ‘탄하에게 이야기 건네기’를 선택해 주세요.
The plants gathered here were drawn to be tattooed on many different bodies. If you’d like, I can adjust the direction of a stem, the flow of the leaves, or the overall length to suit what you have in mind and follow the contours of your body.
I’ll draw those changes freehand directly on your skin during the session. The version we create for your body will be yours alone, and I won’t tattoo it again in the same form.
If you’d like a plant drawn just for you from the start, feel free to get in touch about a custom design.
02 / On skin
Rooted in you.
정원에서 만난 식물은 당신의 살갗에 뿌리를 내립니다. 몸의 결을 따라 당신과 함께 자라납니다.
The plants you meet in the garden take root in your skin. They grow with you along the lines of your body.
Your story, any form
Custom stories
당신이 품은 이야기라면 무엇이든 그려요.
Whatever story you hold, I'll draw it.
03 / Let's grow something
A small
beginning.
04 / Invite Tanha

Black Garden Archive
피부 밖에서도 정원은 자랍니다. 색연필 원화와 전시 그리고 작업의 순간들을 이곳에 모아 둡니다.
The garden grows beyond the skin, too. Original drawings, exhibitions and moments from the studio, gathered here.
0506 / The gardener
Hello
I’m Tanha.
저는 상상 속의 식물과 꽃 그리고 동물을 관찰하고, 돌보고, 그립니다. 세상에 없는 · 본 적 없는 · 비존재의 존재를요. 마음에 남는 것이 있다면 이곳에 머물며 천천히 들여다보셔도 좋아요.
I’m a tattoo artist and illustrator based in Seoul. I draw imaginary plants, flowers, and animals on skin and paper.
A little about me: I’m queer and Buddhist, and I practice and teach yoga. I live with my partner, our dog, and our cat.
If something in my garden speaks to you, take your time and stay a while.
