A career initiative by a non-profit organization in Hong Kong provides an opportunity for underprivileged youth, including a 22-year-old tattoo artist named Nok and a 26-year-old who left college prematurely.

Nok, who hails from a dysfunctional family, discontinued his education at Form Five. He used to work as a bartender to make a living while developing his skills in tattoo artistry. However, he had a brush with the law and spent a year in jail, the reasons for which he chose not to reveal. In prison, he took the opportunity to delve deeper into his passion for tattooing and refine his artistic skills.

Nok remarked that unlike the previous generations, who often linked tattoos with gang members, the younger generation views it as an artistic medium for expressing themselves.

After his release from prison in 2022, Nok rejoined the tattoo industry. He worked under the guidance of a mentor in a studio and nurtured dreams of establishing his own venture, even considering international opportunities for his tattooing skills.

He voiced his aspirations saying, “I aim to step outside my comfort zone…I aspire to evolve as a tattoo artist in various countries, expanding my perspective through the art of tattooing.”
