About Me
The name's Fiend, short for The Ink Fiend, One of the few very renown asian tattoo artists in the Northwest. I love my family, so obviously I'm extremely family oriented, they are my life whether i'm mad or happy. I have a selected group of friends whom i've chose wisely, they've proven to me that true friends are more of a brotherhood.
Despite the luxurious lifestyle of a rockstar and the part where i'm surrounded by lingerie clad models all the time (lol jk jk), I am husband to a beautiful hmong lady.
Eight years strong, I work every day of my life to set myself to par of making a relaxed future for us. I vow to her that I will remain faithful and at least once a day make her smile, Loving her is how I prove my worth of existance to myself. Yes, this paragraph is devoted to you Penny, Love You babe.
My Life : Tattoos
Within the growing tattoo world i'm proud to be an art entusiast and respect every other artists work. I rock "Sinister Tattoo Studio" for a shop and rep my tattoo crew "The Art Fiendz," Which explains the black du-rags over my face? It looks way better than wearing that doctors mask while performing tattoo work on ya.
My strength in tattoo work is traditional asian artwork & Pin-Ups, Mostly in the Khmer (SE Asian) & Chinese (Cantonese) genre; Mainly due to my nationality. Yet of course like any other skin gutting tattoo artist out there, I am fully versatile to any tattoo work inquired to be done.
Quality is my number one priority in the work done to my clients, i've had honestly dealt with a few mishaps regarding street quality work and those dilemas weren't pretty. It's your skin, your life, and my name you'll be wearing on you so I intend to take pride & time on all my pieces, IF YOU RUSH ME THROUGH A TAT BAD things will happen. I try to keep my work as original as possible and am glad to freehand any piece upon request. I'll hook up anyone with a low rate, mainly because it's all for the love of art.
My Life : Photography
Most in the Import Industry let alone the Northwest area may know me as one of the premier photographers in my area. In the PDX area some know me as the Main photographer/ owner of Import Fantasies (www.ImportFantasies.com). I put my effort into creating the best concepts in my crisp and fully edited photos/prints. My graphic work and/or touch-up is of the highest degree and my photos surely shows it the highest caliber.
My resume is vast and broad consisting of photography in commercial/print to e-commerce and is responsible for building the portfolios of Portland's top models.
My experience is one of my strengths I started shooting models as a young teenager. Now I'm highly known for being able to coreagraph and direct/coordinate my shoots with extreme proffesionalism.
I do use model release contracts and I am a licensed photographer and business owner for this field of work. TFP work happens once and awhile if the model can throw a great idea at me or if I have a certain project in mind. Other than that I usually charge rates (which can be negotiable). You can find them in the blog section of my page.
....Well other than that I'm your average, mellow, funny-looking 25 year old asian dude you'd usually see shopping for groceries at your local Fred Meyers, lol. If you guys are interested in working with me on any photo projects of tattoo pieces just holla at me and YES, if you are not in the Northwest, I can easily make arrangements to travel to you.
That's all folks! Later!
