About Me

I'm a tattoo artist in NY who has a pretty wide range of artistic interests, graffiti, fantasy art, typography, comic art, logo design, clothing design/graphics, photo-retouching all of which I've done or occasionally still do. These are the skills I carry with me when I tackle a project. In the tattoo realm I was fortunate enough to have apprenticed under Anil Gupta, an immensely talented artist, so I have a technical background that I can lean on also--Thanks for checking my stuff out - Kinjal... NYC D.O.H. Licensed, autoclave sterilization in use... ..
