Kone Ak brings over 15 years of international experience to Relegation Tattoo in Nanaimo, British Columbia, after completing his apprenticeship in Paris. Known as a ‘walk-in warrior,’ Kone is always eager to tackle new challenges, specializing in cover-ups, blast-overs, and intricate freehand designs, embodying his belief that nothing is unachievable. He states, “There’s nothing more frustrating than having to live with a tattoo you don’t like, and I’m not here to sell you a tattoo, but rather an experience.” Kone is particularly passionate about American Traditional, West Coast Fine Line, and lettering styles, demonstrating exceptional skill with color while remaining open to fresh concepts and ‘one-shot bangers’ that excite his artistic vision.
