Small pieces start from ₹2,000. Custom work is ₹1,000 per square inch, so a palm-sized piece usually runs ₹8,000–₹15,000 depending on detail. Larger work is booked in sessions: ₹5,000 per hour, or ₹30,000–₹35,000 for a full-day session (sleeves, back pieces, large devotional work). Every quote is free and confirmed at your consultation.
We're appointment-only. Every session is prepared in advance, so you get a dedicated setup and our full attention from the moment you arrive. Call or WhatsApp us to book your slot.
Realism is our core: portraits, devotional and deity work, pet portraits and colour realism. We also do black & grey, fine line, anime and other styles, always drawn custom for you.
Always, and we go further than most. It isn't just the needles. Everything used or touched during setup is either single-use and disposable, or wrapped with a fresh barrier for every client. From the moment your station is prepared to the moment you leave, hygiene is treated as non-negotiable.
There's some discomfort, but most clients are surprised by how manageable it is. Pain varies by placement, areas with more flesh hurt less than bony areas. We work at a comfortable pace and talk you through it, especially if it's your first.
Three simple things make a big difference: get a good night's sleep, eat a heavy breakfast or proper meal before you arrive, and if possible, moisturise the area you're getting tattooed in the days before. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before, and wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the area. We'll guide you through the rest on the day. Getting your first tattoo? Read our full first tattoo prep guide for everything to know beforehand.
Surface healing usually takes about two weeks, with full healing over a month or two. We'll give you clear aftercare guidance after your session so it heals cleanly and the work stays sharp.
