ARTIST BAOBAO
Baobao is a fineline and blackwork tattoo artist, with a strong focus on mini tattoos and minimalist designs. His work is defined by clean linework, detailed textures, and a subtle, vintage-inspired aesthetic that feels both refined and personal.
A Difficult but Determined Journey
Baobao’s interest in tattooing started early, with a clear dream of becoming a professional artist. However, real-life challenges meant he couldn’t pursue it right away. He worked various jobs, from factory work to waiting tables and even overseas, just to support himself.
In 2019, he made the decision to return to tattooing seriously. Without immediate opportunities in professional studios, he worked independently, building his skills through persistence while taking on other jobs like motorbike taxi driving. Over time, through consistency and effort, he gradually earned his place in the industry.
Signature Style: Fineline, Blackwork & Engraving
Baobao focuses on fineline and blackwork, with a strong sense of clarity, clean composition, and controlled detail. His strength lies in precise linework, mini tattoos, and designs that feel sleek, subtle, and delicate.
For minimalist tattoos, the beauty often comes from how refined the final lines and small details are. Baobao approaches each piece with patience and consistency, making sure the result feels clean, balanced, and carefully finished.
Clients' Testimonials about Baobao
Clients have commended Baobao for his precision and caring approach throughout the tattooing process. His talent and attentiveness have left clients feeling valued and pleased with their experience.
"My sister and I chose OCD while visiting Hanoi and I am SO glad we did! This tattoo shop is one of the best in the world (and I’ve been to many!) The artists are incredible (Bao is so kind and so talented). They didn’t treat us like tourists for a quick tattoo: they spent time designing and checked in before our appointment to make sure we were happy. The kind of service I would expect as a long term client. I could not be happier with the service and will 100% be returning when I am back in Hanoi! Thank you OCD Hanoi team!"
