Battambang Tattoo Page Rebrands to Spotlight Artist “វិចិត្រករ ប៉ែន ឯក” (Artist Pen Ek)

BATTAMBANG, Cambodia – In a move to personalize and highlight the artist behind the ink, the popular Battambang-based tattoo Facebook page, formerly known as “ខ្មែរ សាក់ រូប បាត់ដំបង” (Khmer Sak Yant Battambang), has officially changed its name to “វិចិត្រករ ប៉ែន ឯក” (Artist Pen Ek). The rebranding signals a shift from a location-centric identity to a focus on the individual artistry and brand of its lead artist, Pen Ek.

 

The page, which has been a digital hub for showcasing intricate tattoo work, including traditional Khmer Sak Yant designs, will now operate under the banner of the artist himself. This change is reflective of a growing trend among creative professionals to build a personal brand that directly connects their name and reputation with their portfolio of work.

 

While the page’s core content of showcasing stunning tattoo artistry is expected to continue, the new name, “វិចិត្រករ ប៉ែន ឯក,” which translates to “Artist Pen Ek,” suggests a broader artistic scope. The term “វិចិត្រករ” (Vichetrkor) encompasses a wide range of artistic practices beyond tattooing, hinting at Pen Ek’s potential to showcase other creative endeavors.

 

The original name, “ខ្មែរ សាក់ រូប បាត់ដំបង,” firmly rooted the page in the rich cultural heritage of Battambang, a city renowned for its vibrant arts scene and traditional practices. The new name builds upon this foundation, putting a face and a personal signature to the craftsmanship that followers have come to admire. This strategic move is anticipated to foster a closer connection between the artist and his audience, providing a more intimate glimpse into his creative process and vision.

 

Fans of the page have already begun to see the new name reflected on their Facebook feeds. The transition offers an exciting opportunity for followers to engage more directly with Pen Ek and to follow his artistic journey under his own name. As “វិចិត្រករ ប៉ែន ឯក” embarks on this new chapter, the Cambodian art community watches with interest to see the evolution of this talented artist’s digital presence.
