What we do
Whatever you have in mind, it starts with a conversation and a custom drawing. A few of the styles we're asked for most.
Dragons, koi, serpents and peonies — bold linework and rich shading built to flow with the body. Sleeves, backpieces and panels, in colour or black & grey, planned over multiple sessions.
See the work
Delicate single-needle linework — florals, symbols and understated pieces that stay elegant as they age.
Names, dates and quotes — from fine handwriting to bold blackletter, spaced and weighted to read for years.
Matching and complementary pieces for couples, family and close friends — designed together in one sitting.
Chibi characters, little animals and playful colour pieces — small, characterful tattoos with a soft touch.
Detailed objects, portraits and shading in smooth greywash — depth and texture that reads from across the room.
Old or unfinished ink reimagined into something you'll want to show off. Bring a photo and we'll talk options.

The artist
Vinh is the founder and lead artist at Doan Tattoo Studio. He works across Japanese, fine-line, lettering and cover-ups — but the through-line is the same: clean, considered work that heals well and lasts.
Every booking starts with a chat about your idea, a custom drawing, and a plan for placement and size. No rushing, no pressure — just a design you're genuinely happy to wear.
Kind words
