There is a difference between getting a tattoo and investing in a piece of art that stays with you for life. KORU is built on that difference.
Located in Los Angeles, KORU is not a typical tattoo shop. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels intentional. The space is bright, filled with living plants, a clean design, and calm energy. It feels more like entering a contemporary art studio than a traditional tattoo environment. The experience begins long before the needle touches the skin.
At KORU, every tattoo starts with a conversation. The artists take time to understand your vision, your personality, and the story you want to carry. This is not about choosing something quickly from a wall. It is about creating something that feels personal, balanced, and timeless. Each design is custom-developed, carefully placed, and thoughtfully executed.
The studio was founded by Pony Wave, internationally recognized for her mastery of realistic floral tattoos. Her work has helped redefine botanical realism in the industry. Every petal looks dimensional, every shadow intentional, every composition alive. That level of detail and artistry sets a standard for the entire team. Today, KORU brings together a group of professional tattoo artists specializing in fine line, black and grey realism, color realism, ornamental designs, and fully customized large-scale pieces.
What truly sets KORU apart is its commitment to precision and long-term quality. The artists focus on how the tattoo will age, how it flows with your body, and how it will look years from now. This attention to structure and technique helps maintain the sharpness, elegance, and impact of your tattoo over time.
Clients choose KORU not only for beautiful designs, but for the confidence they feel throughout the process. Cleanliness, professionalism, and comfort are non-negotiable standards here. The team guides you step by step, making sure you feel relaxed and informed. It is an experience built on trust.
KORU also represents growth and evolution. The name itself symbolizes renewal and forward movement. The studio continues to expand creatively, collaborating on art projects, hosting gatherings, and building a strong community around creative expression. When you choose KORU, you are not just booking an appointment. You are becoming part of a creative family that values excellence and artistry.
In a city filled with options, KORU stands out because it chooses not to compromise. It delivers tattoos that feel intentional, elevated, and unforgettable. If you are ready for a piece that could reflect who you are and where you are going, KORU is where your story begins.
