About ping

Phinthone “Ping” Senesombath’s art is a practice of remembering — of tracing stories carried through time, body, and spirit. Every mark she creates is an offering: to the ancestors who dreamed before her, to the people who find healing through her work, and to the creative force that continues to shape her becoming.

As a Laotian artist born in a refugee camp and raised across cultures, Ping has always felt pulled between worlds — past and present, seen and unseen, softness and survival. Art became her way of translating that tension into beauty and meaning. Whether through tattooing, painting, or community building, she approaches creation as an act of ceremony — a process that transforms pain into purpose and memory into legacy.

At Bodhi Joi Studio, Ping holds space for quiet transformation. She believes tattoos can be more than adornment; they can serve as reminders of growth, protection, and identity. Each piece she creates carries symbolic weight — a lotus for resilience, a crane for renewal, a mountain for strength, a moth for light found through darkness.

Her work continues to evolve as she does — an ongoing conversation between art and spirit, between what is lost and what is reborn through the act of creation.
