Story
Founded 2016
Avinash opened The Ink Art on Candolim Beach Road with a single chair and a clear belief — that the artist's hand, not the machine, makes the piece. Almost a decade later, the chair is still his.
/ About the studio
A room built to slow you down.
Our Story, Philosophy & Vision
Philosophy
Slow ink
We turn down more than we accept. A piece carries weight only if the artist believes in it; we'd rather lose the booking than make work we won't sign.
Vision
Skin as canvas
We treat the body as architecture. Linework follows muscle, composition follows posture, light follows skin. Every piece is mapped before a needle ever touches you.
/ Hygiene & Safety
Sterile, by every definition.
Sterilization
Hospital-grade autoclave; sterile field reset between every client.
Single-use
Needles, cartridges, ink caps, razors, films — disposed after one use.
PPE
Gloves, masks, sleeves changed mid-session as required.
Pigments
EU-compliant vegan inks. Patch test offered on request.
Certifications
Bloodborne pathogen, CPR, first aid — renewed annually.
Aftercare
Premium kit included with every full session.
