Minh Thai said that all the tattoos on her body are cartoon characters. The 9X generation girl hopes to evoke beautiful memories of her childhood.
 |
| Appearing at the Hanoi Ink Fes 2016 International Tattoo Art Convention, Nguyen Thi Minh Thai (21 years old) attracted attention with a series of designs covering almost her entire body. This young woman is currently a tattoo artist in Thu Duc District, Ho Chi Minh City. |
 |
| Contrary to the stereotype of young women with many tattoos, Minh Thai gives those she meets a feeling of approachability and friendliness, along with the gentle voice of a Southern Vietnamese girl. True to her personality, the artwork on her body depicts fairy tales and cartoon characters she has loved since childhood. |
 |
| At the age of 18, after graduating from high school and getting accepted into university, Thai decided to get a tattoo as a reward. Her first tattoo, the one she got in 1994, was the phrase "Made by Mom & Dad," signifying her gratitude for her parents' upbringing and care. Thai revealed that when she got this tattoo, she didn't dare tell her family the truth. |
 |
| After coming out publicly and overcoming prejudices from her own parents, Thai gradually asserted herself by increasing the number of tattoos. Most of the tattoos on her body are cartoon characters from Disney, Pixar, and other studios. |
 |
| The princess with long hair, the old man from the movie Up... are vividly depicted on the body of the 21-year-old female tattoo artist. "Each image and character in the movie leaves an unforgettable impression on me regarding ideals and lifestyles. Getting tattoos helps me always remember that life has many good things, so keep dreaming and pursuing your ambitions, and you will definitely succeed," the Saigon-born 9X shared. |
 |
| One of Minh Thai's most outstanding and time-consuming works is a painting of a mermaid. The 9X artist says this story is quite similar to her love story with her current husband, tattoo artist Dong Tribal. To achieve happiness, they both overcame many obstacles from family and society, and sacrificed expectations for a different future. |
 |
| Previously, Minh Thai was a student majoring in Port Management at the Aviation Academy. Due to her numerous tattoos, she faced considerable disapproving glances from her friends. In her third year of university, the girl born in 1994 decided to stop her studies and pursue a career in tattooing. |
 |
| Thai's decision was met with strong opposition from her parents. However, thanks to her unwavering determination, she gradually convinced her family to think more positively about her new career. Now, her relatives support her in pursuing her passion. |
 |
| Having fallen in love with tattoo artist Dong Tribal, after three years of dating, the two officially moved in together. Dong Tribal is the mentor who helped her become a professional tattoo artist. He is also the creator of most of the designs on Thai's body. |
 |
| Currently, Minh Thai works as a tattoo artist with her husband. In the future, she plans to cover her entire body with tattoos, except for the skin on her face. |
