INKSOU：First, could you briefly introduce yourself?
Big King’s Fart：I’m "Big King’s Fart." I primarily focus on tattoo art, and my style leans towards Old , but I aim to create something fresh, captivating, and free-spirited in my work. I don’t stick strictly to traditional style definitions, and I enjoy experimenting with different elements to develop my own unique artistic voice.

INKSOU：How did you come up with your name?
Big King’s Fart：Naming myself was always a challenge. Initially, a friend helped me come up with the name "Big King," and I used it for a while. After a time, I got bored with it, so I casually added "Fart" to the name, thinking it sounded amusing. There’s no deep meaning behind it; it’s just a playful, spontaneous choice that I’ve stuck with.

INKSOU： Where do you find your creative inspiration?
Big King’s Fart：My creative inspiration comes from a variety of sources: movies, cartoons, and the work of illustrators I find on image websites. Lately, I’ve also incorporated some game elements into my designs. I find inspiration in the scenery I see while walking, the flowers, trees, and even the people around me. I like to create things that are unique, with strong personalities, and are not necessarily "beautiful" in the traditional sense, but have their own distinct charm.

INKSOU： What do you think of abstract creation?
Big King’s Fart：Although I admire abstract art, I personally need some tangible elements to express myself in my creations. I have a free and imaginative side, but ultimately, I feel the need to ground those ideas into concrete, recognizable forms. For me, creation needs to have some kind of "shape" to truly convey the emotions and meanings I want to share.

INKSOU：Have you seen a shift in your creative direction over time?
Big King’s Fart：When I first started, I mainly worked with traditional Old School small designs. Over time, I found the repetition of these designs a bit monotonous, so I began to push myself to create more varied and innovative pieces, expanding the scope of my work. I didn’t want to stay stuck in one style; I wanted to explore new things and broaden my creative horizons.

INKSOU：How do you typically communicate with your clients?
Big King’s Fart：I enjoy listening to my clients' ideas and am happy to accommodate their preferences. I believe that the final design should lie somewhere between my own creative direction and the client's vision. In the early days of tattooing, I was more limited by experience, but as I’ve gained more expertise, I’ve realized I can experiment with new ideas and take on more challenging requests. This has made my communication with clients more flexible and open.

INKSOU：Do you have any advice for clients when choosing tattoo designs?
Big King’s Fart：I think that after a work is published, clients who come to me should already have some understanding and recognition of my style. Whether they choose a past piece of mine or want something custom-designed, establishing that connection through my past works makes the collaboration smoother and more aligned. This connection helps us work together better, ensuring I can deliver the exact design they’re looking for.

INKSOU：What led you to become a tattoo artist?
Big King’s Fart：The first time I got a tattoo, I thought being a tattoo artist would be a simple job. But after going through the whole tattooing process—communication, sketching, and the actual tattooing—I realized how interesting and well-suited this profession was for me. The whole experience felt engaging, and I felt a deep connection with the process, so I decided to dive into this field fully.

INKSOU：How would you define a tattoo artist?
Big King’s Fart：A tattoo artist should constantly improve and never stay stagnant. The most important thing is to make sure the client is satisfied with the design. Tattooing offers an opportunity to meet a diverse range of people, and the exposure to different individuals broadens your perspective, which I find very interesting and rewarding.

INKSOU：Do you know your MBTI type?
Big King’s Fart：I’m an INFP, a classic "Idealist" type—100% introverted (I). I enjoy spending time alone and finding peace in solitude, but I also need new things to stimulate and enrich my life. In my work, I prefer to expand outward, learn new things, and not just lock myself in my own world.

INKSOU：How would you define yourself?
Big King’s Fart：I consider myself a “dead” introvert (I). Though the phrase sounds a bit rough, as a 100% introvert, I genuinely enjoy my current lifestyle. I appreciate the time I spend alone, which allows me to hear my inner thoughts clearly. At the same time, when I interact with others, I still maintain my own unique perspective, and I feel that this is the way that suits me best.
