Graffiti Blackbook Sketches and Lettering
This is where I experiment with letter structures and Devnagari scripts. These pages are the raw foundation for my street art and custom tattoos.
My entry for a Kulture Karnival contest, this piece spells out "KULTURE" in a dynamic, colorful graffiti style. It features complex lettering with 3D effects, highlights, and an animated spray can character.
A style exchange with another artist, this piece spells "Rems" (रम्स) in a sharp, aggressive graffiti lettering style. This shows my work with combining English letter structure with a Devnagri script flow.
About From the Blackbook: My Graffiti Roots
These sketches are the DNA of my 'Masala Flow' style. Every piece here, from my Kulture entry to style exchanges with other artists, is a raw attempt to mix Mumbai’s street vibe with complex letter structures. When you see these lines, you are looking at the foundation of the tattoos I eventually put on skin, not a generic design off the internet.
A Blackbook is a Graffiti Artist's Diary
For me, the blackbook is where the rules are broken. It is a space to test out new concepts before they hit a wall or a canvas. When I am working on a commission or a custom tattoo, I go back to these pages to see what works and what does not. The lettering you see here is a mix of traditional graffiti structure and the Devnagari script flow I am obsessed with right now.
Why This Matters for Your Tattoo
Most artists just pull a stencil off a screen. I start with a pen and paper. When you want a graffiti-inspired tattoo, you want movement and aggression in the lines. Looking through my blackbook shows you that I understand letter anatomy, shading, and flow. Whether it is a throw-up style or a complex piece, these sketches prove that I can draft an idea from scratch.
The 'Masala Flow' Approach
My style is about that desi flavour mixed with global street energy. I play with thick outlines, 3D effects, and the way letters interact with each other. If you are looking for a tattoo that feels like it belongs on a Mumbai street wall, we can adapt these blackbook concepts to your skin. We do not do cookie-cutter here. We figure out what your story is and we turn it into lines.
