Siripong was born as the only girl amongst five children. She’s the eldest and a big sister to 4 brothers. As a young girl, Siripong was raised amid boys. She was later raised amongst girls when she was sent to an all-girls boarding school before turning 18.

Being a child born to a doctor and a mother who loved to read, Siripong says that she was raised amidst books, cooking, blood, and death.

As a young child, her father taught her about pain and Buddhism. He frequently took her on his many hospital trips, so she saw first-hand a lot of blood and death.

At age 14, Siripong already knew she wanted a tattoo, but due to her young age and the stereotype that then existed with people who wore tattoos, Siripong struck a deal with her mom to wait until she was 18 before getting a tattoo.
