Artist Quang Trung, also known by his nickname Trung Vibe, is a name that cannot be overlooked in the artistic tattoo community of Vietnam and abroad.

1. Artistic Journey: From Fine Arts University to Tattoo Championship Titles
Born in 1993 and graduated with a major in Fine Arts from the Vietnam University of Fine Arts, Artist Quang Trung possesses a solid foundation in composition, color, and anatomy—key elements for creating a perfect tattoo artwork. He officially entered the tattoo industry in 2015 and quickly proved his exceptional talent through burning passion and a quiet, hardworking spirit.

He holds the belief that as long as a work reaches perfection, clients will naturally come. This philosophy has helped him stay focused entirely on technique and quality, producing artworks of timeless value.

3. Unique Expertise: A Fusion of Western Realism and Eastern Spirit
What defines Artist Quang Trung’s brand is his mastery of highly complex styles:
Exquisite Realism
With a formal background in Fine Arts, his realistic works (portraits, landscapes) achieve astonishing accuracy and depth. He is known as the “European Realism Tattoo Master”, able to capture lifelike details—from individual strands of hair to the glint in the eyes or the subtle shades of skin—with remarkable authenticity.
Japanese Traditional and Asian Specialization
Beyond realism, he is also a master of Asian Tattoos and Japanese Traditional (Irezumi). Unlike generic reproductions, his works embody deep cultural insight and philosophy, giving fluidity, power, and profound meaning to traditional subjects such as Dragons, Koi Fish, Tigers, and Geisha.
4. The “Savior” Expert: Tattoo Repair and Laser Removal
Not only talented in creating new works, Artist Quang Trung is also a leading expert in repairing damaged tattoos and performing laser tattoo removal.
- Cover-up Tattoos: With the trained eye of a fine artist, he can “read” old tattoos, analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the original ink, and design new cover-up pieces that completely and creatively conceal them—turning disappointment into pride.
- Professional Laser Tattoo Removal: His deep understanding of ink depth, pigment composition, and skin response makes him a reliable specialist in laser tattoo removal. He personally consults and performs complex removal cases, especially fading old tattoos before cover-ups to ensure maximum effectiveness and skin safety.
