#1. What makes a tattoo artist?

Valedictorian of the Academy of Theatre and Cinema's Fine Arts Design program but decided to become a tattoo artist.
Since kindergarten, Ngoc had a dream of growing up to be an artist. That inspired her to pursue the path of art until now. As an entrance valedictorian and the output valedictorian of the Faculty of Art Design, Bich Ngoc chose to follow the path of artistic tattooing. Ngoc Like shared: "When trying out in different fields, it gave me the experience to understand tattoo art that really gives me the most uplifting emotions in my career. I am a person who has an artistic mind, so I always want everything to become more beautiful and complete. Tattoo art gives me new experiences and challenges every day".

Because of many risks, it is very difficult to find a tattoo artist to cover scars. Personally, I like challenges, so the more difficult and strange the job, the more I like it, so I always give priority to scar tattoo cases. People tell me about their scars with the desire to cover up the low self-esteem that has plagued them for many years. Above all, the most important thing for me is to see them happy, emotional emotions of my clients after they see the work of art instead of the scars that have haunted them in the past.", she adds.

#2. A 10-year journey to pursue her dream and fight prejudices

She has been doing this job for almost 10 years. In her country, there are still stereotypes about tattoos. Many people think that tattooing is something that is less standard, even discriminatory, and that tattooists are abetting social evils. For Ngoc, the opinion of family and relatives is the most important. Her parents did not object because it was her choice, so she continued to pursue her passion. "I personally think it is not necessary to care about people with such short-sighted views. My job is to try to move forward, and what I have achieved yesterday, today, and in the future will be the clearest answer to those who don't like me", she shared.

Many clients have come and told Ngoc that they never thought about getting a tattoo because of the content associated with them in the past, until they saw what she was trying to do, so they decided to do it. They were about to try it and they chose to trust her.

#3. The most important thing to her is assisting customers in overcoming their fears

Tattooing to cover scars is really difficult. Ngoc spends a lot of time and energy on consulting, designing, and agreeing with customers. To make sure the tattoo does best, she will refuse if the scar has not had enough time to heal or the customer's request is too high. Because ensuring health and a good image for customers is Ngoc's top priority.

Ngoc said: "I feel very happy when my work makes a new mark in the lives of many people of many genders and social classes. Every time I receive thank you messages from guests, every customer feels motivated to pursue this arduous path. It's the most meaningful thing for me. And after so many stories were heard, I also learned many lessons about myself and the road ahead."

#4. Customers from all over the country come to her

Adults in their forties to early nineties are her main clients. According to Ngoc, they are all polite and likable people from all across the country. She also spends time talking with them on a daily basis to share, learn, and listen to their fascinating stories.

Many people share that they used to be very discriminating about tattoos, but after learning about Ngoc's work, they went to get tattoos again. Maybe it is "the last lifeline" when other medical and cosmetic methods are not possible.

#5. Are tattoos artistic expression?

 

"Actually, I've been jealous of the guest's wife before. But the funny part is that it is just a tattoo on the back or arm, not a sensitive area at all. I don't know why she's jealous. I just heard that after that day, his wife asked where the tattoo was, who got it tattooed and then got angry. The customer explained that I was famous or tattooed very well, but she did not listen and carried the suitcase to her mother's house. I never thought that getting a tattoo at my place would affect other people's private lives like that, so I was a bit surprised. ", according to Ngoc Like.

Ngoc shared: "I often receive messages with rude attitudes or even teasing from men. There are very strange people. They've been texting me for years. Even though I don't text back or block the number, somehow they still find a way to text me. Since I've never met the people behind these messages in real life, I'll let it go."
