About Artist

My name is An and I’m currently a tattoo artist living and working in Saigon. I came to the tattooing accidentally but I’m very happy with my choice. I hope everyone can be happy with the career they choose.

"
I want to express the uncontrollable joy when we are free to envision the versions we could become.

An wanted to express the uncontrollable joy when we are free to think about the versions of ourselves we could be. You can absolutely be a tailor, or a doctor, vlogger, construction engineer, tattoo artist, technology driver – you can be anyone, do any job, whatever you want to do because there are endless possibilities and career opportunities out there waiting for you.

In the past, parents used to think that only engineers and doctors were stable careers. It's impossible to blame them, because even without them, there used to be very few jobs to choose from. But now, people are comfortable in choosing their own career, parents and society have a more open perspective and understand and most support their children's decisions. The important thing right now, which I always tell myself, is to persevere in pursuing my passion and know where I stand, so that whatever path I take will be stable.

"
Stable or not is up to you

Many years ago, when I quit a full-time position to pursue a career in tattooing, my mother asked: ‘Why did you quit a stable job to start a business?’. But I knew what my passion was and above all I was always actively moving forward so as not to be left too far behind. In the following months and years, I proved to my mom that tattooing can also be a stable career.

Thanks Tattoonista.an
