SANKET VARHADI
Founder & Lead Tattoo Artist

Tattooing since 2011 and the creative force behind Lines N Shades Tattoo Studio, Sanket brings depth, realism, and emotional storytelling into every design. His passion for tattooing began at age 21 after being inspired by global tattoo culture through LA Ink & Miami Ink. What started as curiosity soon evolved into a decade-long journey filled with art, discipline, and national recognition.

Today, with 20+ national awards and thousands of tattoos behind him, Sanket remains committed to creating original, natural-looking, and meaningful tattoos for clients across ages and backgrounds.

About Me

My tattoo journey began with a spark — a fascination with the way stories could be expressed through skin. Over the years, I’ve learned that tattooing is not just technique. It’s understanding people, connecting with emotions, and translating them into artwork that lasts forever.

I specialise in realism, portrait, and black & grey tattoos, and my goal is simple:
Understand deeply. Create uniquely. Deliver beautifully.

Every tattoo is crafted from scratch with a no-copy, no-repeat philosophy — ensuring each client walks out with something truly original.
