Kozo is a Brooklyn-based visual artist renowned for his micro-realistic colored tattoos that juxtapose classical art with modern references and pop culture, all delivered with a delicate edge. With a global following of over one million on social media, Kozo has garnered international recognition for his innovative artistry. Beyond tattooing on the skin, Kozo translates his work into paintings and sculptures, using the tattoo machine as a part of the creative process and integrating the tattoo needle into the finished pieces as a signature element of his technique.  His work has led to collaborations with brands such as Maison Margiela and an impressive clientele that includes cultural icons such as Chris Rock, Ben Simmons, and A  Boogie Wit da Hoodie and entrepreneurs like Adam Weitsman and Daniella Pierson.

Kozo combines graphite, acrylics, and oils to craft each piece, then applies his signature touch by tattooing the artwork with a tattoo machine. The needle he uses in this process becomes an integral part of his signature, further blending his unique techniques into the final creation.
