Tum

“A quiet guy who likes to
let the work speak for itself”

Japanese work dominates Tum’s portfolio, and the depth is striking. Koi fish sleeves, hannya masks, dragons, geisha, foo dogs, pagoda landscapes – the breadth of traditional Japanese subject matter is matched by consistently bold composition and clean linework. He handles dense, multi-element work that flows naturally across full sleeves and large pieces.

Beyond Japanese, Tum ranks among the studio’s strongest freehand artists at ALL DAY Tattoo Bangkok, drawing directly on the body for custom compositions. Neo-traditional B&G,Sak Yant, old school, mandala, realism B&G, and dotwork round out the range. Buddhist imagery appears frequently across styles, and Thai mythological subjects show up too.

Born and raised in Bangkok, Tum grew up in the art and street scene alongside skateboarders and musicians, splitting his time between guitar, drums, and constant drawing. He went to art school but dropped out early, choosing to learn tattooing by experience instead. Over almost two decades later, the value of that decision is clear. He’s quiet, creative, and lets the work do the talking.
