Hello, my name is Bao Vang and I started my apprenticeship at Mind-Altering Tattoos and piercings in July 2023.

For most of my childhood, I would always be switching between painting, sketching, or crafting. When I had no materials, I would draw over my old artwork or use my notebooks meant for school. My love for art only grew.

Tattooing has been an eye-opening experience, and since I started this journey, I’ve been able to express myself and my art in so many ways.

Being at Mind-Altering brings me so much joy and I am so thankful for the opportunity to work with such talented tattoo artists and piercers. It is a dream coming true, every time I step into the shop.

Nothing inspires me more than my co-workers, who push me to become better every day, as I work towards my goal of becoming a tattoo artist.
