Thanh was awarded for the most detailed tattoo, the most terrifying tattoo, the most oriental tattoo and the best black and white full-arm tattoo. In the black and white full-arm tattoo category, Thanh applied the image of a map of Vietnam, ao dai (traidtional dress), and One Pillar Pagoda made on a male model three years ago. All the symbols of Vietnam in the shape of the letter S quickly gained traction.
