Ton is a very philosophical tattoo artist…correction, not just tattoo artist and tattoo studio owner but also philosopher, artist and musician. He has been tattooing for 7 years at the point of this interview for tattoothailand.com He was born in the North of Thailand, Chang Rai province. He is currently tattooing and exhibiting art from his own tattoo parlour called O-zen which is in Bangsaen which has been open for 1 year. He says 80% of his customers are Thai locals and the other 20% are foreigners, which is perfect for him since he also speaks very good English. For him every tattoo is a personal process with the customer, like many other tattoo artists he speaks to the customer to get a good idea of their character, will do many sketches and sessions before doing the actual tattoo on the body itself. Although he says he feels most comfortable tattoing in a Japanese tattoo style he can work in many styles and can do custom tattoo jobs, In this video we see him tattooing a Japanese horror style devil tattoo with skull revealed underneath live at Nakhon Unite Vol.6 (Metal and Hardcore music and tattoo festival) hosted this year at the Overstay live music and art venue (and hostel!) in Bangkok, Thailand. He describes his relationship with tattooing as a necessity, like “his bread” or food for the soul. Apart from tattoo work he also exhibits personal art at the O-zen tattoo studio, is a drummer and an overall nice guy. Beneath is a quote taken from his facebook page.

“Life is the best when you have freedom and independence… (tattoo) art on the body is like the wind that gives you power of breath, you are showing your soul which is carried to others like music through feeling, this feeling is more valuable than any object” – Ton owner and tattoo artist at O-zen Tattoo Studio, Pattaya, Chon Buri
