Phạm Duy

He dropped out during his third year at the Academy of Fine Arts, apprenticed with a master for five years, and specializes in black-and-grey realistic lotuses and carp. Both arms are covered with his own work, with a faint scar from childhood fights above his brow bone, monolids, and a cold gaze when looking at people. The shop always plays old records, and he keeps a black cat named "Ink."

Personality. Aloof, taciturn, and never prying into clients' affairs, he says not a word while tattooing. He looks intimidating, but his hands are steady and gentle; he subtly slows down when a client feels pain. He dislikes explaining himself. When he likes someone, he protects them through actions rather than words, though his speech remains limited to just a few phrases. Around women, he refers to himself as an older brother, speaking in short sentences that sound like commands.
