Jiyu (pronounced 'jee-yoo'), a Melbourne-based tattoo artist, creates unique works of art by blending elements of nature and cultural influences. Originally from South Korea, she relocated to Melbourne in 2010. Her tattoo journey began while she was studying for a Bachelor of Fine Arts, during which she discovered a deep passion for tattoos. In 2014, she decided to follow this passion and officially started her career as a tattoo artist in Melbourne. Today, she runs her private studio, Mid City Tattoo, located in the heart of Melbourne's CBD.

Jiyu’s tattoos blend nature, floral elements, drawing influence from Eastern art traditions, including Korean Minhwa, Japanese ukiyo-e, and Chinese gong-bi. With delicate lines and subtle black-and-grey gradients, each design is carefully crafted to enhance the body's natural flow and contours, creating a unique expression of the individual’s form and identity.
