Folklore, Reborn in Colour

Ploy grew up surrounded by the temple art and Lanna iconography of northern Thailand, and it shows in every piece — mythical animals, protective symbols and floral motifs rebuilt in a bold, contemporary neo-traditional language.

Her work leans on heavy saturation and confident black linework, the kind of colour packing that stays punchy for decades when it's laid down with the right pigments.

Why OBSIDIAN

“Colour has to heal bright, not muddy,” says Ploy. She relies on OBSIDIAN's aftercare and second-skin range to protect fresh colour work through Chiang Mai's heat, so her clients walk away with the tattoo she actually made.
