Korean tattoo artist Woojin Choi, widely known as Oozy, has carved a distinct niche in the tattoo world with his mesmerizing blue ink body art. Eschewing traditional black outlines, Oozy employs a monochromatic palette of cobalt blues to create finely detailed, sprawling dragon designs inspired by Chinese art that wrap elegantly around arms, legs, and even skulls. The result is a stunning visual effect that transforms each client into a living canvas of intricate, moving artwork.
Oozy’s signature style draws heavily from the aesthetic of Chinese ceramics from the Tang dynasty (618–907), an era celebrated for its exquisite blue-glazed pottery and porcelain. The distinctive cobalt hue seen in these historic ceramics is echoed in Oozy’s tattoos, which he affectionately refers to as “ceramic skin.” Much like the hand-painted pottery of that period—known for its bold imagery symbolizing power and good fortune—Oozy’s dragon motifs exude strength and timeless elegance.
Having honed his craft over several years, Oozy’s mastery extends beyond color choice. His technique highlights fine lines and shading that breathe life and movement into his tattoos, blending gothic and gore elements with traditional East Asian symbolism. This unique fusion has earned him significant acclaim within the tattoo community.
Currently based in Los Angeles, Oozy continues to push boundaries with his art, attracting clients who seek tattoos that are not only visually striking but rich in cultural resonance.
For those interested in following his latest creations or booking an appointment, Oozy shares his work regularly on Instagram, where his extraordinary tattoos continue to captivate enthusiasts worldwide.
