Every design starts with your story - could be a wild memory, a favorite song, some mad idea you cooked up at 2am. The more personal, the better. I’ll ask questions, maybe get you talking in Hindi or Hinglish if that’s your jam (bhai, jo bhi bolna hai, bol de - main sun raha hoon). You throw me your thoughts, I break it down, and translate it into a piece of art you won’t see on anyone else. ### The DKRYPT Collab - You bring the idea, I bring the madness. - I’ll sketch, mix, and mash up stuff till it fits your vibe. - We sort out the final size and where you want it - forearm, chest, ankle, whatever. - If you’re into storytelling tattoo design or want that graffiti-inspired tattoo art, that’s my playground. ### My Style I call it ‘Masala Flow’ - has those curvy, tribal fusion tattoo feels, mixed with my OG graffiti roots. You’ll see bold lines, sometimes Desi script, sometimes wild shapes. My tattoos aren’t always super crisp or super clean, but they’re always raw and original. ### Real Talk My work isn’t for everyone - it’s more about feeling and story than perfection. If you want something truly custom, with a mix of street art and Indian vibe, let’s make it crazy together. ## Highlights Browse through Dkrypt's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/krypt.one/custom-tattoo-design/featured) - ![This custom tattoo, "Murder da Beats," was a collaboration for my homeboy, a music producer and chef.

Name’s from ‘decrypt’ - solving my own codes, you know? Started out tagging Mumbai walls, folks laughed, but now I’ve painted in Dubai, Malaysia, even Jakarta. Graffiti’s taken me everywhere, even skydiving! Big on learning - went from fast street pieces to slow mandalas, even wood carving in the hills. Still, nothing beats wild nights with my crew, painting till cops show up and sometimes, they just hand us the walls. Creation, destruction, repeat. ### My work - **I paint on anything**: Graffiti, murals, tattoos, canvas, digital illustrations, wood - if it’s got a surface, I’ll paint it. - **Masala flow style**: My thing? Masala flow graffiti. Curves, movement, devnagri letters. Desi flavour, global street energy. - **Custom flash tattoos**: I do custom flash tattoos, wild or quirky. Got a masala style flash sheet, or I’ll freestyle your vibe. - **Big walls, big projects**: From club walls in Dubai to Art Mumbai racecourse murals, solo or with my crew - I love going huge. ## More services from Dkrypt - [Commissioned Artwork](https://mytribe.in/krypt.one/commissioned-artwork) · ₹4-25K per artwork (estimate) - [Digital Design & Motion Graphics](https://mytribe.in/krypt.one/digital-design-motion-graphics) · ₹3-25K per digital asset (estimate) - [Mural & Graffiti Art](https://mytribe.in/krypt.one/mural-graffiti-art) · ₹120-700 per sq.ft (estimate) ## Experts similar to Dkrypt on mytribe - [Custom Henna Designs by Annum Madni](https://mytribe.in/mehendi_by_annum/custom-henna-designs) · ₹300-6,000 per hand/arm (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Custom Murals & Wall Art by Vritti Kotian](https://mytribe.in/vritti_kotian/custom-murals-wall-art) · ₹400-1,500 per sq. ft.
