You often work freehand instead of relying on fixed designs. Why is that important to you?
Freehand allows the tattoo to grow with the body instead of being imposed on it. Every person carries a different posture, rhythm, and energy. Drawing directly on the skin helps me respond to that in real time.
In an industry moving rapidly toward digital design and AI, how do you position your work?
Technology is useful for planning, but it cannot replace human judgment. A tattoo holds memory and emotion. That part comes only from lived experience and hand control.
Your work attracts a noticeable number of Israeli clients. What draws them to your practice?
Most of them are travellers looking for meaning rather than decoration. They often come during transitional phases of life, and they value patience, conversation, and symbolism over speed.
How has working in Pushkar influenced the way you tattoo?
Pushkar slows you down. It makes you listen more. That reflects directly in my work—fewer unnecessary elements, more intention.
You started in Sri Ganganagar. What has changed between then and now?
Discipline stayed the same. Perspective changed. Travel and interaction taught me restraint.
Dark floral and flow-style tattoos have become a signature in your work. What do these forms allow you to express?
They allow movement. They don’t demand attention; they invite it.
What do you think is most misunderstood about tattoo culture in India today?
That speed equals skill. In reality, skill is patience repeated over time.
Looking ahead, what do you want your work to stand for?
Depth over trends, and honesty over speed. A tattoo should outlive the moment it was created in.
