the artist
Hey, I’m Champa!
I’m the face (and hands) behind THAO TATU — and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I believe everything I do has to be done with intention.
​
My work isn’t just about tattoos. It’s about creating spaces where people feel comfortable and inspired. Whether I’m tattooing, teaching in one of my courses, or sharing my stories on my socials, I want people to walk away feeling more connected to themselves and their journey.
​
Outside the studio, I’m a dog mom, traveler, foodie, and forever student of life. I’m also obsessed with growth — both personal and business — which is why I share openly about the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
My mission is to create tattoos while building intentional spaces for artistry, growth, and empowerment. I’m dedicated to inspiring transformation through both tattoos and education — helping clients express their stories with precision and guiding artists to elevate their craft, brand, and confidence. What I do is rooted in one philosophy:
to do everything with intention and to leave behind a legacy that inspires others to do the same.
