Lily was an amazing tattoo artist and worked very close with me to make the design I was hoping for! I can’t wait to come back to HCMC for another tattoo. Best tattoo artist I’ve had yet <3

I've known Lily for 5 years by chance, but only now that I'm back in Vietnam did I get the chance to get tattooed. In the past 3 months, I've gotten 9-10 pieces, and each one is beautiful and lovely. I'm very satisfied with the friendly, approachable shop owner who gives enthusiastic advice and tattoos very carefully.

Lily is a great artist, the studio is clean and beautiful and she has done one of the most beautiful tattoo I have. If you are in HCMC and you want to get tattoed I can’t recommend someone better than Lily.

I had an amazing experience with Lili (@madbaelele)! I fell in love with her works and the whole tattoo experience was super confortable! She’s incredibly talented and kind (she suggested me a perfect placement for the tattoo), the studio is super cool and clean (the two cats are adorable too)! If you come to HCMC you absolutely have to get a tattoo here🩷

I loved being tattooed by lili! She fit me in real last minute even though she was busy! She designed a creative and cool way to cover up some tattoos i didnt like anymore. It wasn't just a blast over, it was a clever way of doing it. The place was super clean and comfortable too with two cute cats! Would def recommend to anyone looking for a unique, thoughtful and well designed tattoo.

Had a great experience getting a back tattoo here. Lily was super responsive and professional throughout. The turnaround was only a couple of days from inital message, idea, sketch, final design, and finally the tattoo. Studio also has 2 very friendly cats!!

Great studio! Lili was really accommodating and friendly, she is very talented! My husband was so happy with his tattoo that he got another 2 afterwards. Will definitely visit again next time in Saigon. Writing this on day 3, tattoo is clean, healing well and looking pretty sexy.

An absolutely fantastic tattoo experience. I was tattooed (twice) by Lili and I am incredibly happy with the experience. She is a very talented artist who was able to take my reference photos and replicate them flawlessly. Her studio has a very laid back vibe, with a comfy sofa, good tatting chairs and a great playlist to keep you occupied. Also clean and sterile equipment. The pricing was the best I’ve come across in Vietnam and the results speak for themselves. I only found Trikger through google maps as it’s just a few short minutes from my hotel, but I would gladly travel from the other side of the city if I had to in the future. She also has some very cute cats so Trikger gets an 11/10 from me. Go get some ink!

Was doing a routine visit of Vietnam and after doing extensive research I found Lily. Luckily I was able to get an appointment quickly. Lily completed my requested tattoo with speed and care and the price was incredibly fair. I hope to return in the near future.

Lily did a phenomenal job—I absolutely love my tattoos! She took the time to help me choose the perfect placement and sizing to make sure they look their best. I originally found her on Instagram (@madbaelele), and I’m so glad I did. Highly recommend her if you’re in Ho Chi Minh City. Bonus: adorable cats greet you at the door.

Love my new ink! I got a tribal tattoo on my lower back at Trikger, and I’m seriously impressed with the whole experience. The shop was clean and had a chill, professional vibe. Lily really took the time to get the design just right, and the detail in the linework is amazing. Definitely coming back for more work in the future!

Lily or LeLe , which I called her, is an experienced talent artist . I discovered her through Instagram . My first impression of her art style is transitioning unique characteristic or memories into animal style , especially cat . I started with purchasing design , but now Every time I visited Vietnam , getting tattoo by her is always on my planner . There are more than 3 Tattoos that’s done and designed by Lily Recommend if you want something cute / unique inform of your favorite animal

Getting a tattoo while holding my baby is real, and the little one even fell asleep to the sound of the machine. LyLy's lines are extremely beautiful, fast, and steady. We're far away, but as soon as we share our ideas, she designs them right away. What I love most is that each character reflects the personality of each member. The studio also has three adorable cats. If you like "hoàng thượng" (the emperor), this artist specializes in cat tattoos. You can tell right away who is skilled and professional; every line is perfect. Overall, we really, really like it and are 1000% satisfied. Highly recommend 5*.

I'm a Vietnamese American and was looking for a safe, clean, English speaking, reputable tattoo artist. Mai was my artist and did a beautiful piece on me in Nov '24 on my calf with lots of colors. I had my concept idea and she brought it to life. She made me feel incredibly welcome and was so lovely to meet. I highly recommend her to any foreigner looking for tattoos. She is also a genius at making colors pop on skin (I have eczema so healing is difficult). Cannot stress enough that she is my favorite international tattoo artist and I'll definitely be coming back for more... You deadass cannot go wrong w her...... She also has nearly a decade of experience.

Absolutely blown away by my new irezumi piece! The details, shading, and flow of the design are incredible. The artist truly understands the essence of traditional Japanese tattooing, and the craftsmanship is top-notch. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out—definitely coming back for more!

Madbaelele is amazing at piercing, guys! I've secretly visited many times. I've done all of Lele's tattoo and piercing combos—the tattoos are super smooth, and the piercings are expertly done. Highly recommend for anyone wanting cat tattoos and piercings in District 1. Plus, you get to cuddle some fluffy girls there, which is really nice. 10 points for quality and service!
