Akash:
Akash has been one of my earliest clients. I can actually say he has been one of my early practice canvas. I still remember him coming in with his close buddy Raunak. Tall, well – built physique and an air of superb confidence. “Uncle I want you to ink whatever you want ”,he had stated. No designs and templates for him. He wanted me to directly draw on his back and he would be fine with it. I kept insisting that he needed to see and approve of the design but my pleas went unheard. He sat through the experience without flinching an inch. Over the next three sessions we inked a tribal design on his back that went all the way round over the shoulder and onto the chest and also wrapping around his waist on both sides. Akash flaunted the tat like a hero.
Last month he was at my studio yet again – wanting a dragon tattoo which he wanted to fill his right arm with . We agreed on the design and slowly the tattoo took form. A second sitting of touch up and fine tuning and we had a magnificent two headed dragon. Akash and his friends have even named the dragons Shiro and Magnum.
Akash is over-joyed with his latest prize possession. As he puts it, each tat inked on him gives him positivity and good luck. I am sure this one too will see Akash happy and successful through life

There are some people who love tattoos and there are some out of them who love a particular tattoo style. Pruthvi is one such tattoo enthusiast who is just in love with maori tattoos.
I met Pruthvi a couple of years back when I inked his first tattoo – Archilles – the Roman hero on his back. Ever since Pruthvi has been back for other tattoos.
Pruthvi had wanted a maori tattoo which included wings. We discussed the idea and as I sat one day doodling designs , I suddenly put together this maori rib tattoo design of the Eagle. What I loved about it was its sleek feel, lovely curves and length. I immediately knew that if there was one person who could carry this off beautifully , it was Pruthvi.
Hardly had I mailed the design to Pruthvi that I got an instant consent. We did some more thinking, reduced the wings to one and there it was – the Maori eagle in all its grandeur. Like all Maori tattoos, there are designs within designs and each of them is symbolic. Pruthvi’s tattoo has waves, mountains, shark teeth, spear heads, the spirits and people . They stand for protection, prosperity and good look.
We completed the tattoo over 4 sittings and what we had is something enchanting.
Pruthvi proudly carries his awe inspiring tattoo on his lean frame with elan.
Here’s wishing Pruthvi all the blessings his latest tattoo brings with it.
