Taeseok Park, a Vancouver-based tattoo artist, specializes in “memory maps” that blend hyperrealism and geometric precision to transform clients’ pivotal life moments into permanent visual narratives.
His meticulous process begins with gathering deeply personal references—photos, quotes, songs—and uses the client’s most defining memory as the design’s cornerstone. Each element is crafted to flow seamlessly with the body’s natural contours, ensuring both aesthetic harmony and structural cohesion. Park’s innovative work has earned awards at the Korea Tattoo Convention and the Vancouver Tattoo Convention, attracted celebrity clients like Owen Joyner, and secured sponsorship from ink brand @Kwadron. Originally a hairstylist, Park shifted to tattooing after being captivated by a single floral design that ignited his passion for lasting, meaningful art. In October 2025, he’ll bring his memory map philosophy to the Alberta Tattoo Convention, demonstrating how body art can serve as an emotional legacy.
