Vietnam left a mark on me that has nothing to do with tattooing — and everything to do with the people.

I’ve been lucky enough to travel to a lot of places in this industry, and every now and then you land somewhere and immediately feel like you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. Quy Nhon was that.

None of it would’ve happened without and his wife Katy. These two are the real deal. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, they made sure I felt like family — not like a guest artist passing through, but like I actually belonged there. The hospitality, the warmth, the effort they put into every detail of the experience in Quy Nhon — it was exceptional. I don’t say that lightly.

I also want to say thank you to,,, and — sharing space with artists like you is exactly why I keep showing up to these things. You make the whole experience worth it.

Vietnam — I’ll be back. 🙏🇻🇳
