ABOUT US
OCD Ink Studio was founded in 2024 by Dino (Diem Kim), an artist with over 10 years of experience and a background in fine arts. After years in the industry, he set out to build a top-tier tattoo brand that brings together highly skilled artists and delivers the best experience for clients.
Starting from a small space at No. 4 Hàng Ngang, in the heart of Hanoi Old Quarter, OCD Ink Studio has grown with a clear mission: to deliver tattoos that balance technique, aesthetics, and long-term healed quality.
Every piece is created with care, combining artistic creativity and strict professional standards to ensure both a great result and a memorable experience.
TATTOO STYLES
OCD Ink offers a wide range of tattoo styles, with artists who specialize deeply in their craft and deliver consistent, high-quality results.
- Fineline & Graphic: Clean, precise linework with strong attention to detail, ideal for minimalist and design-focused tattoos
- Realism & Micro Realism: Highly detailed work that captures lifelike depth, texture, and subtle shading
- Color Realism: Vibrant, dynamic tattoos with smooth color transitions and strong visual impact
- Neo Traditional: Bold compositions with rich colors, expressive forms, and a modern take on classic tattoo aesthetics
Beyond our core styles, our Hanoi artists specialize in Vietnam-inspired tattoos rooted in creative storytelling. Whether it’s to commemorate your time in the capital with an animal wearing a traditional nón lá, a custom travel stamp, or a tribute to Hanoi’s vibrant street culture, like a steaming bowl of phở or a cup of cà phê on a small plastic stool, each piece captures a moment and a connection to Vietnam in a deeply thoughtful way. Bring your idea to OCD Ink Hanoi. We’ll take it from there!
