you, Dominic –
what inspires YOU?
LIVE, BREATHE AND MAKE ART: ABOUT DIFFERENT INFLUENCES FROM ART AND BIG BACKPIECES.
1. Who are you?
Hey, I'm Dominic, an Asian tattoo artist from Vietnam currently living and working in the heart of Berlin.
2. Where are you from and how does that influence your work?
I come from Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, a beautiful country in Southeast Asia.
I only have a slight problem with language differences at work, but it's fine and doesn't really have much of an impact.
3. What is your favourite piercing you did at MAYDUNA?
It's definitely the tattoo of Lady Gaga’s hand. You find a lot of symbolism and meaning in there for my client.
7. What’s your favourite tattoo on your body?
That's the tattoo on my back. It's the symbol of the city where I come from, designed in the traditional Asian tattoo style, done by the teacher who taught me the first basic tattoo strokes, also one of the artists with great achievements in traditional tattoo styles.
8. What would be an absolute dream project?
I’d love to do a really big backpiece, covering the whole surface in a mix of traditional and realistic styles.
9. What do you like most being a tattoo artist?
It is to live, breathe and make art. To be an artist.
10. How would you describe your art in one word?
Unique.
4. How did working at MAYDUNA affect your work-life balance?
Working here is quite comfortable, I also have enough time for my personal life outside of work, so to say it affects quite well.
5. What do you like to do when you’re not working creatively?
I love art, so I love to enjoy it, including looking at pictures or watching movies or listening to music.
6. Who or what influences your art?
Honestly, I'm not inspired by one particular person, but by so many different artists around the world. I love the traditional arts of Asia and the art and sculpture of Europe. I hope to one day figure out how to combine them to create my own unique art style.
