A little insight into my life
I am Varun Mehta—tattoo artist, photographer, fashion model, and creative storyteller. Born in 1992 in Panipat, Haryana, I grew up with an innate love for art. From sketching caricatures to experimenting with different forms of expression, creativity has always been a driving force in my life.
I believe art should never be confined to one medium, which is why I constantly explore new styles and techniques. Whether through tattoos.
my goal is to create meaningful, lasting impressions. Tattooing, in particular, became my true passion because of its permanence and personal connection—it’s not just ink on the skin; it’s a story, an identity, and a piece of art that stays forever.
“A tattoo is more than ink—it’s a story, a memory, a piece of your soul etched forever.”
My journey into tattooing began in the most unexpected way, but over the years, it has grown into something much bigger. Today, I run Swastika Tattoos, one of Delhi’s leading tattoo studios, where I specialize in all styles of tattooing while continuously refining my skills, especially in Japanese tattoos.
For me, every tattoo is a collaboration between the artist and the client—a piece of art that holds deep meaning. Explore my work and be part of this creative journey.

Ayo & Teo, the viral dance duo behind “Rolex”, came to me for their tattoos, bringing their unique energy and style. It was an honor to create something that resonated with their identity.
Over the years, I’ve tattooed many celebrities, each with a story to tell. Tattooing isn’t just about ink—it’s about capturing moments, personalities, and artistic expression in a permanent form.
