About Tattoo Cover-Ups & Scar Concealment
Skin Stories, Rewritten
Not every tattoo needs to last forever. Sometimes, life changes or a scar needs a better story. I help people turn old tattoos or scars into something they're actually happy to see in the mirror.
Old Tattoos, New Beginnings
We all have that one mistake inked on us - maybe an old name, maybe something that's just lost its meaning. I don't just hide it under a black patch. I use the old lines and shapes to create custom tattoo cover-up designs, so the new piece feels natural and fresh. Sometimes it's a warrior, sometimes detailed wings, sometimes something totally unique to you. The main thing - you'll want to show it off.
Scars Into Art
Scar camouflage art is close to my heart. Scarred skin needs a gentle touch and a different approach. Instead of hiding, I work with you to blend the mark into a personalized scar concealment tattoo, like a Shiva motif or a flowing pattern. Clients often say, "bahut badhiya" (very good) when they see the final result – that's what I aim for.
How I Work
- Free, no-pressure consultation to check your skin and talk ideas
- I draw up a new design just for you
- Once you love the idea, we stencil and get inked
For me, ye kaam passion hai (this work is a passion). A good cover-up or scar tattoo is about skill, patience, and making sure you leave happier than you arrived.

My Story
Namaste dosto, Tattooshala se Anurag bol raha hoon. Bas, tattoo mera junoon hai - pehla tattoo khud pe banaya tha jab main 15 ka tha. Har tattoo ek kahani hai, aur mujhe maza aata hai jab log apni kahani ink karwate hain. Shillong ghooma, wahaan bhi tattoo ka craze dekha. Festivals mein awards mile, par asli khushi toh tab hai jab aap apna sapna mujhe batate ho aur main usse reality bana deta hoon.
