4+ Years of Experience

Lucen’s journey into tattooing began in early 2022, when he chose to leave a business path behind to pursue art with full commitment. What started as curiosity quickly turned into dedication, as he invested his time, energy, and resources into learning the craft from the ground up.

For nearly 2 years, he worked quietly behind the scenes, practicing on models, learning under mentorship, and pushing through slow progress with little financial return. Long hours, late nights, and constant refinement became part of his routine, shaping both his skill and discipline.

Over time, he built his own style, managed his personal brand, and continued refining his work before joining OCD Ink in Hanoi to grow further.

Signature Style: Fine Line & Black and Grey

Lucen focuses mainly on fine line and black & grey, two styles that emphasize precision, balance, and long-term wearability. He was first drawn to black & grey for its depth and refined, almost luxurious feel, where soft gradients and subtle contrast create a calm, timeless look.
Fine line, on the other hand, allows him to sharpen control and accuracy through delicate, minimal linework. By combining these approaches, Lucen also explores graphic elements, creating designs that feel clean, structured, and quietly expressive without being overly bold.

Custom Designs for Personal Meaning​

Lucen focuses on creating tattoos that feel personal and meaningful rather than purely decorative. Each design is developed based on the client’s story, idea, and placement.

  • Custom designs tailored to individual concepts
  • Often includes minimal, symbolic, or memory-based tattoos
  • Focus on emotional value and long-term connection
