SUGAR - resident artist
Sugar Bunraya Kosayothin, also known as just ‘Sugar’ was born in Bangkok, Thailand and has been tattooing for over 18.
He was 17 years old when he was introduced to the world of tattoos mostly through people, art, and magazines at the time.
In 2003, he created a hand made tattoo machine with a VCD electric motor and started tattooing his friend at home.
At 19, he decided to leave home and begin his journey in tattooing for friends and acquaintances at annual events and multiple studios including Satan Tattoo BKK (2003-2006), the Sex Tattoo BKK (2006-2013), V-Ink. (2017), and Little Art Tattoo (2018-2019), Little Tokyo (2020-2024) and now Thirteen Feet Tattoo Newtown.
Known for his unique, vibrant, and bold style, his favourite imagery to tattoo is Japanese new school, dark side tattoo, and blackwork brush strokes.
With a background in pottery and sculpture, his hobbies also include painting, Thai boxing, photography, motorcycles, and old school BMX.
After many years of experience, tattooing has taught Sugar to be mindful, calm, and focused.
