From Sketches to Skin: The Journey of Kapil Parmar

Tattoo Artist | Colour Specialist | Law Graduate

I’m Kapil Parmar, a professional tattoo artist with over nine years of experience, specializing in colour realism and custom tattoo design. My journey from a curious schoolboy sketching in notebooks to becoming a recognized tattoo artist is a story of transformation fueled by artistic passion, lifelong learning, and the courage to choose a creative calling over a conventional career.

My love for art began early in childhood. Long before I understood the world of tattoos, I found joy in sketching, shading, and experimenting with form. Art wasn’t just a hobby; it was an emotional outlet and a core part of my identity.

Despite my artistic inclination, I chose a traditional academic path and pursued a degree in law. But even while studying legal texts, my mind would often drift to ideas for drawings and designs. To support myself during my college years, I began tattooing from home using basic tools. What started as a way to earn some extra money soon became something deeper; it sparked a creative fire I could no longer ignore.

After completing my law degree, I had a decision to make: follow the structured path of legal practice or dive fully into the unpredictable, passionate world of tattooing. I chose the latter and never looked back.

A pivotal moment in my journey came when I reconnected with Sam Patel, a childhood friend who had just launched his own studio. He invited me to join his growing team, and I stepped into Sam Tattoo Studio – a space that has been my professional home for over six years.

In the beginning, I focused on black and grey work, learning the fundamentals of depth, detailing, and composition. These foundational years sharpened my technique and helped me understand the skin as a canvas. Over time, I ventured into colour tattooing starting with small pieces, gradually mastering colour theory, layering, pigment saturation, and smooth blending techniques.

One of the high points of my career was participating in the Kolkata Tattoo Convention 2023, where I won Runner-Up in the Best Large Colour Tattoo category. It was my first recognition at a national platform and a proud moment that reinforced my belief in continuous learning and evolving.

Today, I’m known for creating vibrant, emotionally resonant tattoos, each piece designed with care, technical precision, and an understanding of the story behind it. Whether it’s a minimalist symbol or a full-colour sleeve, I aim to deliver work that connects deeply with each client.

As a law graduate turned tattoo artist, my journey reflects the power of following your passion. I aspire to continue pushing my creative limits, participate in global conventions, and inspire more young artists to take the road less traveled.

The skin is my canvas, and every tattoo I create is a collaboration between memory, meaning, and art.
