Aakash's Tattoo Gallery

My tattooing journey started with a chance encounter in Thailand .i met an artist there who inspired me to take tattooing,as a career he was working on a street of Bangkok..Apparently i asked him to draw my granny’s pic and gave him a 1 sq inch passport size photo … now that was something crazy talent ,that was my first encounter with the miniature sketching. i got to pick up my first tattoo machine from one of this thai street tattoo shop ,It was a second hand Micky sharp tattoo machine.Around this time ,i also got interested in the hardware / electronics of a tattoo machine, and started to experiment with it .the idea for me was to understand how this things work and i even designed a foot switch..

After few trials and testing i started tattooing on friends and on my self ,as a hobby initially. Things was going good as i was in second year junior college making few extra bucks doing tattooing on friends but self satisfaction was not there working freelancer and working professional were 2 different things and my search for a master started. Then there was this time in 2010 i happened to hear about sameer patange (sameer sir) and that he was offering apprenticeship at his studio in Mumbai ..and i got my self enrolled in 2011 and that was the turning point for me …..i felt more confident as i was in a need of a guide and a mentor and found that in sameer sir ,he inspired me to take up tattooing as a full time profession, working with kraayonz has given me the opportunity to work and know lot of big name in tattooing industry in india as well as international which eventually help me gathered a lot of valuable experience …….. Now i manage a branch of (kraayonz tattoo studios) in pune ,and i could proudly say that kraayonz is my brand …
