Precision line work for 2-4 inch text or symbols, focusing on crisp edges and hygiene for wrist or finger placement.

Typically ₹1,500-3,500 Per Design (estimate)

#### **Digital Prep & Stencil**
* **Font Selection:** Live digital drafting to select Calligraphy or Typewriter styles, sized specifically for body anatomy.
* **Thermal Transfer:** High-precision thermal print stencil to guarantee perfect alignment before inking.

#### **Hygiene & Equipment**
* **Needles:** Freshly opened, single-use Round Liner cartridges (3RL or 5RL) for fine, non-spreading text.

* **Safety:** Full disposable setup including blue nitrile gloves, alcohol skin prep, and machine barrier film.

#### **Aftercare**
* **Immediate Protocol:** Green soap cleansing followed by soothing ointment application.
* **Protection:** Cling wrap application to seal the fresh tattoo from dust during travel.

### Tattoo Corrections & Cover-Ups

Camouflaging old ink with dense, 2x-3x larger custom designs using color packing and distraction geometry.

Typically ₹5-11K Per Cover-Up (estimate)

#### **Assessment & Strategy**
* **Ink Analysis:** Evaluation of scar tissue and existing ink density to determine cover-up feasibility without laser removal.
* **Masking Design:** Freehand drawing over the old tattoo to visualize effective concealment before needle work begins.

#### **Concealment Technique**
* **Dense Packing:** Application of solid black, dark blue, or textured shading to fully saturate and hide underlying layers.
* **Distraction Elements:** Use of complex textures (scales, petals) to draw the eye away from old straight lines.

#### **Sizing & Assurance**
* **Expansion:** New design is scaled 2x to 3x larger than the original to create necessary negative space for a clean finish.
* **Follow-Up:** Includes a 4-week check-up to ensure old ink remains hidden and apply touch-ups if needed.

### Custom Shaded Artworks (Medium Size)

4-7 inch custom pieces (Tribal, Geometric, Illustrative) utilizing lining and shading techniques over a 3-5 hour session.

Typically ₹6-12K Per Piece (estimate)

#### **Custom Design Flow**
* **Freehand Sketching:** Direct-on-skin drawing with surgical markers to match designs like bands or tribal art to muscle curvature.
* **Composition:** Merging multiple elements (Lotus, Moon, Unalome) into one cohesive, medium-sized piece.

#### **Technical Execution**
* **Needle Work:** Combination of Liners for boundaries and Magnum shaders for gradients.
* **Shading:** Heavy black packing or Grey Wash techniques to achieve depth and 3D contrast.
* **Device:** Wireless Rotary Tattoo Pen for consistent voltage and reduced skin trauma.

#### **Session Comfort**

* **Care:** Includes scheduled breaks and a detailed verbal briefing on healing stages and product recommendations.

### Hyper-Realistic Portraits

6-8 hour high-precision session for human or pet faces using multi-layer stencils and intricate grey-wash shading.

Typically ₹9-16K Per Portrait Face (estimate)

#### **Pre-Session Mapping**
* **Photo Editing:** Contrast enhancement and lighting correction of reference photos for optimal tattoo translation.
* **Stencil Mapping:** Complex multi-layer stencil creation to map shadows, mid-tones, and highlights accurately.

#### **Realism Techniques**
* **Gradient Work:** Application of varying black ink dilutions (Light, Medium, Dark wash) for photo-realistic smoothness without harsh outlines.
* **Micro-Detailing:** Use of fine bugpin needles to capture hair strands, skin texture, and eye reflections.
* **Highlights:** Strategic application of White Ink to enhance contrast in eyes and jewelry.

#### **Long-Session Protocol**
* **Duration:** Intensive 5 to 8-hour session dedicated to a single portrait face.
* **Comfort:** Usage of numbing agents if skin irritation peaks during extensive shading passes.

## About Tattoo Services

Art is woven into my daily life - *Nanna jeevanada angavaagiruva chitrakale* (art is a part of my life). I see tattoos as more than just ink; they're memories, feelings, or devotion you carry forever. Most of the time, love is behind every tattoo. *Aadmi prem ke liye kahin se kahin tak jaa sakta hai* (People do anything for love) and I turn that emotion into art.

### The Way I Work

You don't need to walk in with a perfect design. Got an idea, a vibe, or even just a reference pic? Bring it. I listen, sketch, and together we shape it till it’s right. I believe *taalme annodu weakness alla* (patience is strength), so we take our time from stencil to final line.

### What I Love to Create

- Realistic portrait tattoo artist: Faces of loved ones, even pets, so they're always close.
- Custom Kannada script tattoos: Names, words, and meaningful lines in English or Kannada, with a personal touch like heartbeats or infinity.
- Minimalist symbolic tattoo designs: Omkara, lotus, moons, and tiny pieces that say a lot.
- I also do tribal, finger, and nature tattoos - snakes, flowers, butterflies.

### Cover-Ups & Fresh Starts

Regretting an old tattoo? I do expert tattoo cover-ups, making the old one disappear. *Chekke kaanisalla hogide* (It's not visible at all now) - that's what clients say after.

### Studio Vibe

First tattoo or not, people feel at home here. I walk you through everything so you’re never lost or nervous. Many call it a 'painless' experience. *Nimma ondu avakaasha kodi* (give me a chance) - let’s create something *adbhutavaadantaha* (wonderful).

- **Blood Art**: Rakta-dalli bareda chitra: I use a few drops of blood to create paintings full of deep emotion, perfect for love, parents, or special apologies.
