Custom Tattoos & Portrait Art in Nelamangala
A collection of my recent work, ranging from emotional family tribute portraits to detailed cover-ups and custom designs.
This is the kind of work I love to do. A realistic portrait tattoo to honor 'Appaji' (father), capturing his likeness on the upper arm. Creating these memorial tattoos is a privilege.
A great example of a fresh start. I transformed a simple cross tattoo on the hand into this vibrant, detailed butterfly design, giving my client a piece she is now proud to wear.
This powerful half-sleeve piece combines a portrait of Lord Shiva with his Trishul and Damaru. It's a complex design that shows my skill in creating detailed spiritual and mythological tattoos.
Simple, bold, and full of meaning. This "Mom Dad" tattoo on the hand with a crown and heart is one of my most popular requests, a permanent tribute to the most important people in our lives.
This geometric honeycomb pattern on the neck is a bold and modern choice. It requires precision and careful placement, and the result is a striking piece of body art that stands out.
Here I combined a portrait of a meditating Shiva with a traditional patterned armband. This custom forearm piece blends spiritual imagery with a classic tattoo style for a unique look.
From a simple stencil to a beautifully shaded rose tattoo on the hand. This video shows my process of creating a classic floral design with smooth gradients and clean lines.
For those who want something magical, I create designs like this fairy with pink wings scattering stars. It's a delicate and whimsical forearm piece that adds a touch of fantasy.
About Featured
I sketch every design—whether it’s a tribute to your parents or a complex custom symbol—on a stencil before the needle ever touches your skin. You see exactly where it will sit and how it flows with your body, ensuring you’re 100% happy with the placement and size before we start.
When you walk into my studio, it is not just about getting a tattoo. It is about taking an idea you have in your head and making it real. Whether it is a realistic portrait of a loved one, a religious piece like a Lord Shiva or Hanuman design, or a cover-up for an old tattoo that you no longer want, I focus on precision and safety.
Hygiene is my priority. Every needle cartridge I use is fresh, sterile, and opened right in front of you. I treat every session—no matter the size—with the same care. For memorial pieces like 'Amma Appa' tattoos, I know how much they mean to you, so I take the extra time to get the linework and shading right. If you have an old tattoo that needs a fresh start, I use high-pigment ink to ensure full coverage and a clean, sharp look.
I also specialize in unique pieces like geometric patterns or custom lettering in Kannada and English. If you have an idea, bring it in. We will sit down, discuss the placement, and plan the design together so it lasts a lifetime.
