EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE

BIO

Graduated with a B.A. from the Academy of Arts & Design at Tsinghua University, Asia’s #1 ranked university & top art program with a < 2% acceptance rate, Jingxi (Portfolio) grew up at the top of her class and achieved the highest level of practical education in a wide range of art fields including sculpture, painting, drawing, glass, applied, and conceptual art. 

At University, Jingxi took a full gap year at Coleg Elidyr Camphill (Wales, Great Britain) to help people with learning disabilities build confidence through art therapy. She also spent two months in Ghana, Africa assisting the underprivileged build local communities. 

Jingxi continued to develop her skills as a professional corporate designer for 3 years in Shanghai, working closely with one of the top symbolists in the field. Both the practical design experience and application of symbology would later gave Jingxi a unique skill in translating abstract client ideas into "story telling" tattoos with complex meaning.

In 2015, Jingxi moved away from the very commercial corporate world and into tattooing which provided the creative space she needed to grow and excel as a a full-time artist.

Jingxi started off as a tattoo apprentice and worked at a big tattoo shop with more than 20 artists in Shanghai. She has had extensive formal training in tattoo sanitization processes, tattoo machine engineering, and tattoo techniques at several famous tattoo studios.

In late 2016, Jingxi started her own studio, Patch Tattoo Therapy with the goal of providing a very unique client focused tattoo experience never seen before. After a couple years, Jingxi was one of the most trusted and sought after tattoo artists. Clients were flying across the country every week to get tattoos and her clientele spanned six continents globally.

In late April 2021, Jingxi took her talents to sunny Los Angeles and opened a new and improved version of Patch Tattoo Therapy in August 2021. She designed the studio herself, hand picked all materials, and oversaw construction.

The support and demand has been overwhelmingly positive. Jingxi is deeply grateful for all the trust and is excited to design and create the best tattoos for her clients!

Outside of tattooing, Jingxi enjoys studying, spending time with family, traveling, surfing, snowboarding, and other outdoor activities. 

Jingxi is a licensed tattoo artist in Los Angeles County and is featured in the Los Angeles Times, Cosmopolitan, InStyle, Popsugar, ValiantCEO, Bustle, iNKPPL, StyleCraze, VoyageLA, Glam, etc.
