OUR HISTORY

My name is Paeng. I was born in 1978. I am from the Northeast of Thailand, Ubon Ratchatani Province. My parents were farmers living a simple life. I started making money by the age of 12 years old by selling stuff from catalogs to a friend in the school and people in my village. Every weekend I drove my Honda Beat to the city to pick up stuff that people order. At the age of 15, I traveled to Bangkok to work in a factory during the school holiday. I moved to Bangkok right after finishing high school to work at a dentist clinic for about 2 years. I got a job offer with a higher salary as a manager. So, I worked with that factory for about a year. During that time, I got another job offer at the hospital in my hometown. I worked there for about 2 years. My first year of work at the hospital was very fun and adventurous. I was a nurse aide in a small hospital in the countryside. Imagine that you have to work in every department of the hospital, emergency room, surgery room, labor room, and ward. That was such an experience I will never forget. Then I got a promotion, they moved me to another department where everybody wanted to work. A Department that has no need to do shift work with better pay. That position did not serve my energy. I don’t like to sit at a table and work on paperwork all day long. So, I quit a year later and moved back to Bangkok. I started my own company when I turned 24 years old. That was my last business before the tattoo business.

Since 2013, I knew nothing about tattoos. I didn't have any tattoos on my body. I never thought I would have a tattoo and run a tattoo shop. It was because of my job, I own a training company and used to be a lecturer for about 12 years. I taught people in the government, hospitals, and many companies in Thailand about service mind, teamwork, ISO, and IC-Infection Control. One day I got tired of my job. It's time to finish. It was life-changing. I turned my life into a tattoo business by accident. I started to run a tattoo shop with zero knowledge about the tattoo business and turned my training company into a tattoo company. In August 2018, I walked out of my tattoo shop due to unwilling decisions that I did not agree with.

In December 2018, Thai Tattoo Café was born. We use this name because our shops have a traditional Thai tattoo and also I have been using the Thai Tattoo name for about 4 years on the Thai Tattoo world tour it's one of the tattoo services I created. “Café” is because we would eventually like to make our tattoo house feel like a café where you can sit down, relax, and order some drinks with free wifi while you are waiting.

Thai Tattoo Café's logo is Rama fighting Bharata. These two guys are from Ramayana or Ramakien. The Ramakien is Thailand's national epic. The influence of the Ramakien on Thai culture. To me, the picture reminds me of something about life. Life is about fighting. You are always fighting over something. As long as you keep fighting you're the winner.

In all the bad things that have happened to my life, someone has always betrayed me or stabbed me in the back. It may have temporarily given me pain, sadness, and suffering at that time. But it turns out that all the best things have happened to me because of this. People who don’t deserve me have forced their way out due to their inability to grow. My life is only getting better and I get stronger every time. I have set myself free by forgiving them and moving forward. And I want to tell you who reading this that no one could make you happy but you. Living in the past and not forgiving is only hurting yourself. Separate yourself from the negativity and surround yourself with supporting friends. Life is beautiful, so enjoy life at every given opportunity.
