The Lore
Hello, my name is Nhi ( Nee ) and I am the founder of Dragon Fang Tattoo. Dragon Fang Tattoo is an art collective that focuses on creating a positive workplace that supports personal and artistic growth.
This is the first tattoo studio in Nebraska that is Asian American, woman, and a queer owned tattoo studio.
After nine years and cultivating a dream with humble beginnings, Dragon Fang was born. Dragon Fang Tattoo is about creating a unique, safe and sterile, welcoming, and upbeat experience for both clients and the artists in residence.
Dragon Fang was inspired by Fenghuang, a chinese folklore phoenix.
When Dragon Fang Tattoo was born, it's origin was wielded with separation, death, grief, and then came the rebirth.
This fiery phoenix was a symbol of the imperial house, and it represented "fire, the sun, justice, grace, and fidelity".
According to legend, the fenghuang appears very rarely, and only to mark the beginning of a new era in history, hiding during times of trouble. It may appear in peaceful, prosperous times, or at the birth of a virtulous ruler. Once a new monarch had taken over, the bird came to symbolize an era of peace and prosperity, with a new, benign emperor, and was often used as a symbol of the Empress.

![Done by Kuu!
I recently made a trip to Orlando, FL and made an appointment with Orlando based artist, Kuu [kōō] @kuutattoos who was born in Japan. 🇯🇵
These are the sweet juicy cherries she gave me! And along with that we had a cute crochet exchange. 🧶 handmade dragonfruit by Kuu!
If you’re ever in the Florida area, be sure to visit this sweetie! She’ll be tattooing at a convention in Jacksonville, FL at the end of July!
Being in Nebraska and having a low population of various Asian cultures. Asians here make up 2% of the population considering the various ethnicities and subcultures.
It’s not surprising to not see many Asian or queer artists, especially that of women. When historically in America it started with biker gangs and skin heads.
Even when I was designing tattoos for friends, drawing and painting on my skin —I didn’t even dream exactly of being a tattoo artist because there was no representation here for me. I landed an opportunity when folks were getting my work tattoo’d before I got into tattooing.
And to see it and be in a room full of people who looked like me, having community — it’s life changing. It’s inspiring.](https://scontent-lga3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/651285037_18113830039726909_5242880298474608144_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=109&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0FST1VTRUxfSVRFTS5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=FfF0Ra9GUzMQ7kNvwEg_zS1&_nc_oc=AdqcQFh3XnbVfe0Y5-3ikyXXWj2ye86U8hgHqdnc-NfJo3gpAveAafYlD-szZZo7G-A&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=k3OonKDzyLrg3lehSIbL0Q&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQGQf0qB2f_MMSoAoFo6S6wc05YbEWO5GRDxpvT7_3OAOgEQr22D0ohDDPZ5mDNjHwSo6iO8Q2qP&oh=00_Af1uaEi8LDfCyz67VSK2xf793BTaBPJ-TsVbNUzZJupFyQ&oe=69E1D888)
