My Tattoo Journey
My story begins at 17, an age when most people are still figuring out what they want to become. I had just completed my 12th board exams when I took a leap into something completely unconventional: I joined Sam Tattoo India as a tattoo student. At the time, I didn’t know this decision would become the turning point of my life, but it did.
Just five days after starting, the world changed. The pandemic hit, and a strict lockdown was enforced. The studio shut its doors. But that pause became a silent forge. Every single day during those 4-5 months, I practiced sketching and line art at home. I wasn’t waiting for life to resume. I was preparing for it.
When the studio reopened in September, I walked back in not as a beginner, but as someone hungry to evolve. My formal training restarted with a 3.5 to 4-month intensive course that covered everything: basic and advanced sketching, live object studies, and eventually tattooing on fake skin. Then came a day I will never forget: February 1st, 2021, the day I was hired as a tattoo artist by Saiyam Patel. That moment wasn’t just the beginning of my career. It was the first public step into a path many girls from traditional families are never allowed to walk.
Behind me stood my parents and my family, my biggest support system. In a country like India, where societal norms and cultural expectations are often heavy on daughters, choosing a career in a male dominated field like tattooing is almost unthinkable for many families. But my parents were different. They stood by me when everyone else questioned them.
What I Do Best
I specialize in fine-line work, realism, custom designs, and ornamental tattoos. My journey in this industry has been full of fire and fulfillment. I’ve spent 5.5 years growing in a space that is still mostly male dominated. I’ve had to work twice as hard to earn respect, to be seen not just as a “female tattooist,” but as an artist in my own right. Slowly, I’ve built a reputation for creating art that connects: deep, personal, intentional.
Today, clients come to me because they trust me, because they connect with my art, and because they know I’ll give them something that’s truly theirs.
My Philosophy
Every tattoo is an extension of someone’s story, and I treat that with the utmost respect. My philosophy is simple: listen deeply, design intentionally, and create art that matters. I don’t rush. I don’t compromise. And I make sure every detail reflects my commitment to excellence and to you.
