Lines N Shades Tattoo Studio Marks a Decade of Artistic Excellence in Mumbai
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 02: Lines N Shades Tattoo & Piercing Studio, one of Mumbai’s most recognised custom tattoo studios, today marks the completion of ten years since its founding...
“Every tattoo in this studio carries a story – not just of the client, but of the artist’s own growth. Ten years is not a number. It is 5,000 reasons to be grateful.”– Sanket Varhadi, Founder, Lines N Shades Tattoo & Piercing Studio Over the past decade, the studio has accumulated more than 20+ national awards at some of India’s most competitive tattoo conventions, with Sanket himself recognised as a 20-time award-winning artist specialising in realism and black-and-grey work. The studio’s portfolio spans a wide spectrum from intricate portrait and sleeve tattoos to minimalist fine-line work, geometric designs, cover-ups, and culturally significant pieces including Shiva and mandala compositions. The studio’s reputation has also extended well beyond everyday clientele – Sanket has tattooed celebrities, social media influencers, and professional cricketers, a testament to the trust that prominent figures place in his craft. What began as a solo endeavour now operates with a team of specialised artists. Senior tattoo artist Amit Rajwadkar, who has been in the industry since 2009, brings depth and strength in realism. Krutika Parab, a female tattoo artist on the team, specialises in fine-line, floral, and colour styles. Piercing specialist Santosh Kanojiya rounds out the team, handling advanced placements with a focus on safety and precision. Behind the studio’s growth is also Neelam Varhadi, Sanket’s wife, who drives the strategic business decisions – A steady force and strong support system that has been integral to the studio’s journey. The studio’s tenth anniversary is being observed on 15th June 2026. For Lines N Shades, the milestone represents more than commercial longevity; it is a reflection of an evolving artistic practice, the loyalty of thousands of clients, and the broader maturation of tattoo culture in Mumbai.
