For me, tattoo banwana (getting a tattoo) isn’t just about ink, it’s about your story. Har tattoo mein ek emotion hota hai (every tattoo has an emotion), and I’m here to help you put that on your skin. ### Design Your Way You bring your idea or we brainstorm together - jo aap socho, woh hum bana sakte hain (whatever you imagine, we can create). My main focus is custom sleeve tattoo design and realistic portrait ink, but I also love working on unique black and grey tattoo art. Whether you want a tiny wrist name or full arm work, I’m game for any size, any placement. Colourful tattoos? Bilkul (Absolutely). I do vibrant floral pieces, spiritual symbols, and everything in between. ### Studio Vibes & Safety My studio in Tilak Nagar is clean, pro, and full of inspiration. I’m super strict about safe tattoo hygiene practices - fresh gloves, sanitized gear, and a chill environment. My team is skilled, so your tattoo is in good hands. ### Why I Do This This is passion, not just kaam (work). Clients call me bhaiya ji and that trust means a lot. I want you to walk away with art you’ll never regret. ## Highlights Browse through Naveen Rathore's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/naveenrathor9991/permanent-tattoo-artistry/featured) - [Video: This is a custom black and grey sleeve piece I designed for a client.
