About

Hey! 

I'm Bao Ngan, you can call me Bao. I have Vietnamese roots but was born and raised in Czechia, now based in Cairns, Australia. I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember, so transitioning to tattooing in 2022 felt like a natural step.
For a long time, I followed a “safe” career path because of external expectations, but during the pandemic I returned to what truly makes my heart happy, which is creating art. Being queer on the spectrum has shaped my perspective, and now I channel that into my work: I aim to make every client feel comfortable, understood, safe, and create a supportive space for your tattoo experience.

I’m a Virgo Sun, Moon, and Rising (baddie but also explains the anxiety!!!). When I’m not tattooing, you’ll usually find me thrifting, cooking, spending long days at the beach, or working on personal art projects. My style is playful, cute, and illustrative. Every piece is made with care and attention to what makes it uniquely yours.

A Note for First-Timers

If you’re feeling nervous, that’s completely okay. Getting a tattoo can be exciting, but also a little intimidating, especially if it’s your first time. My goal is to make the experience feel calm, respectful, and unrushed. I’ll always take the time to explain the process, answer your questions, and check in with you along the way.

I work in a small space because I value a safe, comfortable environment where you can feel at ease and heard. Whether this is your first tattoo or your tenth, you’re welcome here just as you are.
